Songs of Suicide

As usual, nearly all the children love lunch time. The younger children played shrimpy games, and the older boys would enjoy a friendly game of football, showing send off to the girls, and the girls would chat and laugh ab break the rumours they had heard over the weekend, looking at at the boys and decided who they thought were best looking or who they thought were really nice. As usual, the t for each genius and only(a)ers would shout crosswise the field, at the group of kids standing in the corner, lighting up a regular cigarette and as usual, on that point were the group of good people, or bofs as they were often called by the hiatus of the condition, as they hid their heads in a hold in, and giggled at the site of a boy.But Everyone had their friendship groups, slightly clever, some stupid, some friendly, some not, soundless bothone had their friendship groups, except rightin. Justin was often referred to as a loner, or a weirdo or something that you wouldnt real ly like to be named. He sit down in the corner of the cloakroom every lunch, every break, and in lessons, he wouldnt answer if any one talked to him, he would full look at then plainly, as if he couldnt fulfill them, as if they were a ghost. He was always very pale, and always unploughed to himself, listening to his medicine, and writing in a small gloomful book who no one had ever read or seen except himself.He was a clever child, but the only lesson he seemed to participate in were music lessons. He wrote his way through books and books of songs, poems and lyrics, and could play any cock which was presented to him. But he neer seemed to be prepared to show his endowment fund to anyone.Oi, Justin, give us ya book, or ya diary, or whatever it is, yelled accentuate across the field, and everyone watched and laughed at Justin, calling names and making fun out of him, not being aware of his feelings. Justin proficient turned away and carried on scribbling notes into his book , and then stopping, chewed his pen for a while, scribbled some words out, then wrote score another sentence, then smiled to himself, drew a line and turned the page.The cost rang and people started trailing into the classrooms, mumbling words as the bofins ran past and sit at the front of the class, with their books out limit and sat up straight, ready for the teacher to walk in. The girls then trailed in followed by the footballers, chatting away with each other, and every so often, a laugh, or a scream.Following them, Justin walked in, clenching his small sinister book, and looking at each person, with a stare in his eyes, like he was analysing the way they act, or walk, or talk. He sat at the back in the corner, away from the rest of the class. About v minutes later, the smokers trailed in, chatting with a bit of strong language added in, and the scent of cigarettes change the classroom. As the teacher marched in, the people at the front jumped up, followed by the rest of the class including meetin, who mumbled Good Morning sir over their breaths.As the work started, haphazard objects were thrown in the direction of Justin, usually hitting his desk, chair or even himself, but he didnt move. He just let it over don and dealt with it. Notes were passed to him with rude, agressive words on them, threatning sometimes, but never did he stir, he just scribbled some notes down that the teacher was making, then carried on writing is his dinky blue book.The end of school bell finally rang, and the classes were dismissed. Everyone left and trailed off home, including Justin, who walked 4 miles to get home, in the summer or winter, no function what the weather was like. As he arrived home, he let himself in, often the access was left open, if his father had forgotten to close it behind him. He dragged his school bag up the small cluttered stairs, collecting the dust on the way. His mother had died at an early age and his father had become ruddy with dri nk since she had passed away. He had always blamed Justin, even thought he was only 3 years old when she died.He always state if he wasnt born, she would still be alive. He got into his room, where the walls were painted plain black, but could often not be seen by the amount of band pictures and posters which had been paste over his walls. This was Justins personal space, and no one ever came in his room.His music could be played loudly and he could keep to himself in their as his dad couldnt easily get up the stairs so his slept on the cigarette burnt, old, tatty sofa downstairs. Justin stayed up in that respect all night, until he woke up in the mornings, and went downstairs to find some food he could scrape out of the cupboards, or some spare silver so he could buy some food from the corner shop on his way to school before his dad came downstairs. If his dad caught him, he would be punished, which was that morning.At 6 00, Justin crept downstairs, and past his father sleeping on the sofa, and into the so called kitchen. He opened the cupboard and found some change, three pounds to be exact which he picked up an swand round, pleased with his find, but as he turned around, his father was stood in the entranceway.What you doing there with my money Justin ? asked his fatherJust going to buy something to eat dad Justin mumbled shakily under his breath.And you were going to take my food money were you ?No dad, ii just i was going to pay it back said Justin, starting to panic now.Yeah Justin, you were really going to pay it back. I know you Justin, always taking my money, never paying it back, probably hoping i will starve so you dont have to live here anymore. You dont care close to me do you Justin ?I do dad. I just need some foodNot out of my money you dont, you selfish child shouted his father as he bring up his fist to justin and knocked him over. Justin grabbed his school bag, and ran out of the house straight to school. It was early and the teachers were just arriving.His eye had swelled up and had gone black. He got out his blue book, and wrote down a diary entry and some more lyrics to wrap up up his song. The he saw Mark coming down the road. He ran to the unuse toilets and locked himself in. This was the place he felt safe, other than his bedroom. No one ever came into the toilets, not even the cleaners, because they hadnt been used for about 6 months, since there had been more toilets built inside the main building. He could sit in the toilets for hours, just thinking to himself, and writing in his blue book, and not having to dumbfound about any one else.Wheres Justin ? asked the teacher when the bell had rung.No one really knew because he didnt have any friends. Some nonsence was mumbled under peoples breaths about him, but no one really had any clue where he was.I saw him before school , outside, by the gate. His eye was swolen, Miss, i duno what he had been doin. yelled Mark from the back of the class.Louise walked into the old toilet duck with her friends behind her. This was where they were planning on having a cigarette and as they hadnt been used for 3 years, not many people entered.Pass a cigarette, Chris. Shouted Ryan from the other side of the toilet block.I wonder if any of these toilets still work. Mentioned Louise to Greg.Dunno, lets go have a look at them, bet there disgusting, answered Greg.So Gred pushed each door open quickly an peeked inside, looking at the mess they were in, the graffiti on the walls and the broken doors and toilet seats.This ones locked, said Greg.Nah, it hypocrisy be, have a look over, see if theres something in the way.As Greg looked over, he saw a boy, sat on the floor, writing in a book. He looked behind him to see if it was any of his friends, but they were all stood there, looking at him, waiting for him to open the door. He glanced back. The boy was gone and the door swung open.Who the hell was that ? shouted Greg, feeling a bit shaken up and his frie nds looking at him puzzled. There wasthereii just saw a ghost.And there on the floor, was a small blue book, in neat condition, with a name on the outside. Justin Holdsworth.
