So this was his new school. Phillip stared at the monstrous building before him, feeling slightly nervous. He was sure that this place was going to be like every other school he attended. As soon as he walked through the door, he was going to be prey for the numerous fighters and bullies that roamed the school.
At his shoulder stood his aunt while his uncle examined his nails a few feet away. He was probably the only one who still had his guardians accompany him to his first day of school. If all the bullies found out, they would tease him for being dropped off by his strict aunt and eating her homemade lunches. The fact that he dressed like a nerd didn't help either. With his tucked-in shirt, side-parted hair, and tight pants, his appearance screamed "momma's boy". Phillip dreaded the moment that someone would notice and turn him into a punching bag. All high schools were the same, and #42 was no exception.
The name and reputation of this school was what had his aunt in a bad mood. From what he heard, this place used corporal punishment to deal with bad students frequently. Phillip was used to going to a school where the teachers were a little nicer. In addition to the bullies, he now had to deal with the fear of angering a teacher and getting hit. He hated pain. It reminded him of what his mother did to him when he was younger, and the feeling of this school was bringing up those bad memories.
"Well, school's about to start, so we might as well head in," his aunt suggested in her cold voice.
Phillip gulped and reluctantly nodded. He allowed his aunt to lay her hand on his shoulder and push him forward. Like his mother, his aunt was cold, aloof, and uncaring. The only difference was that his mother used violence to solve her problems while his aunt used a more emotional approach. Years of living under his aunt's house did nothing to help his self-esteem, and he had to worry about failure, which his aunt did not take lightly.
As the front entrance neared, he closed his eyes as if he was expecting some painful blow to come his way. However, the only thing that hit him was a blast of cold air from the air conditioner. His aunt suddenly jerked him to the right so that they could enter the front office.
He spent what felt like hours listening to his aunt and uncle talk to one of the office ladies. As he was instructed, he remained quiet unless a question was directed at him. Soon, he was assigned a locker number and his class schedule was printed out. Without saying goodbye, his aunt stood up and dragged her husband out of the room. It appeared that Phillip wasn't the only one she had control over.
The office lady pointed him to a chair and said that another student would come by soon to show him around the school. He thanked her silently and took a seat. The bell rang and many minutes passed, but no one came. He was beginning to feel a little restless, and he wanted to pee so bad.
No one came yet, and he was pretty sure that he wouldn't get his tour. However, he couldn't just leave without telling one of the school staff in the room. He looked at the office lady who was in the middle of a conversation on the phone. It would be rude to interrupt her, and years of living under his aunt's room taught him how much women hated interruptions in their conversations. If he just slipped out and came back, he was sure that no one would notice.
He did just that. Although he knew nothing of #42's layout, he was sure that there would be a bathroom near the front office. It was like that at ever other school he had attended. And he was right; within a minute, he found two doors, one marked boys and the other marked girls. Before he could enter the one marked boys, a deep voice made him stop in his tracks.
"Where's your hall pass?"
Phillip gulped before he slowly turned around. The man that stood in front of him looked just as scary as he sounded. His bald head, bulging muscles, and cold stare made a shiver go down his spine. This was how the meanest of bullies looked.
He was well aware of hall monitors and what kind of duties they did, but he was too scared of the boy's appearance to even think about it. All he wanted to do was use his fast legs to get the hell out of here. However, the hall monitor's large figure blocked the front and sides while a hard wall stood behind him. Or was it? By instinct, Phillip backed away and realized that instead of a hard wall, he was standing in front of a door. He took another step back and allowed himself to fall into the room behind him.
Phillip rolled as he hit the floor and didn't wasn't time just laying there. He quickly got to his feet and watched the door carefully, expecting the large hall monitor to come in. However, thirty seconds passed without anything happening to him. Perhaps he was safe.
Or maybe not...
He soon realized that he was standing in the girl's bathroom. In addition to a large bully to deal with, he had to deal with several angry girls that weren't very happy about his appearance in their territory.
