HARD SHIPS~Carl Gallagher x Male OC

The First Time I layed My Eyes On Him

The alarm that lays on my bedside wakes me up from a really good dream. I mean the dream had me in a beautiful mansion, which is so clean I swear I could see my reflection from just looking at the wall. The weird part was that someone was with me, living with me in the mansion. I don't remember who it was though. My favorite thing about the dream is that there were no dumb responsibilities like school and work. Fuck, it's a school day.

After getting up from the bed (which took like 10 minutes), I grabbed my baggy black pants with an oversized white shirt and my big ass hoodie from the drawers beside my bed, which still had mickey mouse stickers covered all over it.

I'm so glad that it's almost Christmas break. I just gotta lock in and push through the last few days until I can finally have a break.

Before I leave my room, I grab my black beanie so that I kinda fit into the "regular boy look" at my school. I've never really felt ordinary, I don't know why though, maybe it's because of my crazy alcoholic mother or my drug dealer of a father or my other problems....

After contemplating leaving my room or not, I walk down my messy ass house with a cautious step. I don't want my parents to know that i'm awake.

Taking a peak through the crack of the door into my mom's room, she has completely dozed off in deep sleep, thank God. My dad on the other hand was gone. I don't know where he went but at least he's not in the house.

With a light tip toe into the kitchen to grab some bread, I head outta the door to finally get out of this miserable place, well i'm going to another miserable place but at least it's not as bad as here. I hate it here.

After a few minutes of waiting outside, I finally see the bus and run my way in just in time so that I can head over to the back seats and I notice that we have a new bus driver and a new bus route. The reason for this change is something i'm still wondering myself. Maybe I went into the wrong bus? No, the bus wouldn't have stopped right infront of my house if it wasnt my bus.

Out of exhaustion, I lay my head down on my bag and close my eyes. But more kids pile on the bus talking like it isn't eight in the fucking morning just had to wake me up with their big mouths.

After being forcefully being woken up, I started looking out the window when I see a boy about my age. I noticed a huge shiner on the side of his face. Im kind of curious of where he got it from but this town is full of gangs n shit so he probably got into the wrong crowd or something. He has fluffy brown hair and little fangs in his teeth. He seems to have a more tired face than most on this bus. It looks like he wants to just bang his head against a wall, which that's understandable since it's way too early in the morning for school, but he just looks plain on miserable. I kinda feel sorry for the guy.

He walks up into this bus with a smug look on his face. It's like a completely different person to what I just witnessed when I looked at him outside. It's like he switched his whole vibe in just a second.

"Hey man, could you move over for me?" The guy that I was basically stalking questions me.

"Oh, u-um yeah um sure i'll just move to another seat." god i'm so pathetic, these people probably think i'm a huge ass pussy. Fuck this.

"Nah, it's fine I don't bite." With those vampire teeth? you sure bout that?

"Yeah I-I um guess your right." FUCKK I SOUND LIKE A GODDAMN LOSER!!

"I'm Carl by the way." Carl? I like that.

"Cool, I'm Kit."

"Cool" Carl grins.

"Cool" I grin back.

Carl turns his way towards his other friends on the bus so I just sit there and overthink like I usually do in situations like this.

Authors notes:

I made this chapter a while ago and never finished the story because I didn't have the motivation. But I now think that I should complete this story instead of just leaving it to the drafts and btw the chapters will be longer so i'm sorry about how short this chapter is.
