Halo V. 1

My name is Halo. I'm not kidding. I have a sister named Angel, and she fits it perfectly.



First things first, the world is cruel. Don't forget that. People never get why wars exist, but I just struggle to let them happen like that. My sister doesn't see anything wrong, but I do. My mum calls me the 'Troubled angel in the family'. You most likely haven't thought about it, but I certainly have. I've seen the worst part of cruelty. When you're me, you're not spared any ounce of respect. I have to earn every single drop myself. I wish I could change that, but I know I can't. Not here anyways. Sometimes I wish I were somebody else. Because then people would listen. But when you're me, nobody cares what you have to say. My mum says that you can't change the way people think, but I still want to try at least. Its kind of silly, thinking back to when you're a kid, and you think everything will be perfect when you get older, and nothing will go wrong. Then you get a taste of the real world. Like I did. But I decided to do something different.

*3rd POV*

Halo walked down the hall to math, he was almost to his class when he heard people making fun of him. Halo just sighed and continued on to class. He set his stuff down and began to write in his journal.



Sup my only OTHER friend. Just a normal day in school. Y'know, being pushed around, excluded, never feeling good enough in class to raise my hand. Just a normal day. Not perfect. Normal. I envy those who can go, 'Dear diary, My day was PERFECT...'. But I can never do that. Not at my school anyway. Maybe I can get my mum to transfer my to one of those online schools. Should be bully-free right? Is that a thing? Maybe its just a fairytale designed to put useless hope into poor children. Or as I call them, Child-ren. Haha, I'm so funny. Back on topic. I got my test back today, got a 97%. Everybody laughed at my score, even the kid who got and 88%. Which was weird? I just can't wait until break. Only 1 1/2 hours to go! Then its a week to recover. Well, got to go, good-bye friend.



Halo closed the journal, and started taking notes. Unlike others, Halo had to work a hundred times harder than others just to pass. He just couldn't get some things. Give him a problem with finding the area of a circle, he can do it. But give him a negative and positive exponent problem, you can expect some mistakes for sure. Halo didn't really believe in 'happy ever afters', he thought it was just something that was made up to hurt people like him. He only had one other friend besides his journal. His name was Kace. They were both the weird kids at the school. Poor Kace though, he had burst out in tears only a few minutes ago. Halo would have to text him later. Right now, he had to focus on stupid perfect and imperfect roots. Halo envied Kace though, roots were easy for him. Kace had gotten an 100% on both the quick check AND the quiz (not to mention the practice quiz). Meanwhile, Halo was over here studying two hours a day on stuff that would only confuse him on tests! Halo wondered on why Kace didn't have more friends. Sure he had Natalie and the others, but Halo knew Kace could be popular if he tried to fit in. But knowing Kace, fitting in was considered a curse. Halo wished he could change the way people thought like Kace. Kace had recently started to make a stand ever since his cat had died. For the three years Halo had known him, Kace was a kind, reserved misjudged kid, but Kace hated anything that meant asking adults for ANYTHING. But now, Kace was standing proud and standing up for himself and others. Halo switched his thoughts from Kace to the bullies of the school. There were multiple, but the worst were Tori, Miles, Tyler, Cooper, and Micah. The evil five Halo had dubbed them. Kace tried to see the best in everyone (Except Miles, for some reason, Kace really REALLY hated Miles), but Halo knew it was a long shot. Kace was perfect, Kace had a perfect life, perfect friends, perfect singing voice, and perfect view of people.

"Hey! Halo-freak!" A voice called out. Halo groaned internally, it was the demon called Miles. Halo wished he could disappear right then.

"What do you want bothersome parasite" Halo grumbled.

"Don't be mean! Do you know who Candace is?" Miles asked annoyingly, only asking it so he could annoy Halo.

"No, and I don't care, so you can go take your annoying little self and reflect on the book you read last, which was probably when you were in first grade" Halo said bitterly, already fed up with Miles. Halo then sped walked to his next class **(For my privacy) Studies. He walked in and sat beside Aubrey. Aubrey was sort-of nice. She knew her Taylor Swift songs too. But Halo just grumpily stared ahead, thinking about what the future would hold if people didn't learn from past mistakes.
