Moving Story

“For fucks sake, let me at least finish my beer will ya?” Tyler growls.

He prods the unconscious teenager with a finger, who moans a little. “Who is this fuck-wit anyway?”

“Just some kid from my class” I reply, biting my lip trying not to look at Tyler.

I glance over and his eyes narrowed.

“Really, just some kid.” I repeat.

“Ok, whatever. I really don’t have time for this shit. Get your fucking arse over here.”

I amble over and stand in front of Tyler, my hands behind my back.

He rolls his eyes sighing “Turn around.”

I feel him tightly grasp the back of my neck, pushing and guiding me like some kind of rag doll until I’m directly behind the kid. He pushes me up against his arse; I shift uncomfortably.

“Keep still!” Tyler growls in my ear.

Tyler then without warning pushes my head down hard. I close my eyes; it’s all I can do.

I expect to feel a crack as our skulls hit, but all I feel is cold steel against my cheek. Opening my eyes again I blink and try to focus, there is a dull drumming in my head.

I push myself up and look at the hood on the pickup. I shake my head; a mistake as the world around me swims, and I immediately throw up.

Tyler steps back, “Shit.”

My eyes focus on the reflection in the windshield, “Fuck!” Was all I could muster.

Tyler, gingerly walks over grabbing my face in his hand. He looks into my dormant eyes and clicks his fingers a couple of times. “Hey, hey.” He knocks on my head, “You OK in there?”

Suddenly I see him smile as my eyes clear and focus on his.

“There you go, welcome back!” He smiles, “Thought I’d lost you for a moment then. Come find me when you want out OK?”

I slowly nodded and he took another gulp of beer and walked back into the crowd.

Staggering to a quiet corner I collect my thoughts. Could I get away with it?

Today was David’s last day at school, his wealthy parents were moving across the country where his dad had just got a new job in some media company.

My life sucked, surely David’s couldn’t be any worse?

I knew enough about David to pull off a convincing act, besides he told me that he hardly saw his parents.

As for Tyler I don’t think he gives a toss.
