Chapter 4
Bucky woke up feeling dread, because Bucky knew he had to go back to school. Bucky just stood in the shower, and could barely eat his breakfast. Bucky knows that he can't stay home. Bucky grabs his back pack and walks out of the door.
Bucky walks into the school and was walking throughvte hallways with h head down, once he got to his locker. Bucky quickly gets his stuff out and shuts the locker door close. Three boys push Bucky against the locker. "Hey freak, what is it like to see white, grey, and black? You are nothing but a loser, but I asked you a question, so answer me." He says. Bucky wwasn't sure what to do. Bucky was breathing fast and whimpered. "Are you scared?" He sneers. Bucky nodded. "Good, now ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION!" He yells at Bucky. "Brock, leave him alone." Someone says. Brock looks back to see Steve and Natasha. "Fine." Brock says and steps back. "By the way Bucky, your older brother William, told me everything about you, faggot." Brock sneers and smirks when Bucky pales.
"See you at lunch, blind bat." Brock says and walks off while laughing with the other 2 jocks. Bucky looks down. When did he get to the floor? Bucky didn't care, he just huddled and was gasping for air. "Easy, easy just take a deep breath." A female voice says. Bucky looks up and sees a woman kneeling in front of him. "W-who ar-e y-ou?" Bucky didn't mean to sutter, it happens when he is either on a verge of either a panic or axciety attack, or when Bucky is just plain scared out of his damn mind. The female smiles. "My name is Sarah Rogers, i am the school nurse, my son and his friend here got me." She says gently. Bucky looks up to see Steve. So this must be Steve's mother. Who sas the other girl? "My nae is Natasha, nice of you to ask." He says and Bucky blushes. He didn't mean to say that out loud.
"Come on, we have some people that you like to meet at lunch." Steve says and Bucky stares at them with wide eyes. "What you never had friends before." Natasha says. Bucky looks down at the floor. Bucky never had any friends, who wants to be friends with a person who can't see colour. "You never had a friend?" Natasha asks. Bucky shakes his head no. "Wait, you 16 and you never had a friend? Why?" Bucky didn't want to think back in time to the one person who he thought was a friend but turned out that it was some sick joke. That was the first transfer Bucky had to do, in order to get away from the heart break. So Bucky just shrugged.
The bell rings and Bucky slowly stands up and stumbles. Only for Steve to catch him from fallen, again. Bucky blushes and stands up and walk off to English class. Math class offically sucks. Bucky was sitting in the middle trying to listen to the teacher, but he kept on hearing the other kids talking. Did you hear about James Barnes?, I heard that he can only see black, grey, and white., who wants to be friend with him?, Did you know that he was gay? Bucky stood up and ran out of the class. That last one got to him. So Brock wasn't lying. William did tell them everything. Bucky couldn't believe it. Even if Bucky told his mther, she would think he was lying.
Bucky stayed in that bathroom till the bell ring signalling for lunch. Bucky slowly moved to the cafeteria. Bucky saw Steve, but he didn't want to play that game. Bucky did have a hard time trusting people. "James! Over here!" Bucky heard Steve yell. Bucky sighs then turns and walks to them. Bucky sat down beside Steve and refused to look at anyone. "James meet the group. This is Darcy, Bruce, you already know Natasha, Tony, Pepper, Clint, and Phil." Steve introduces everyone. Bucky wondered what colour there hair and eyes are. Natasha reads him like he was a open book. "I have red hair and green eyes." She says. Everyone else wanted to join. "I have sandy blonde hair and blue eyes." Clint says. "Black hair and green eyes." Tony says. "Brown hair and brown eyes." Bruce speaks up. "I also have brown hair and brown eyes." Phil says. Bucky nods and looks at Steve.
Steve looks att Bucky. "I have godlen blonde hair and baby blue eyes." Steve says. Bucky smiles. But Bucky had to ask the questions. "You guys aee not playing a joke on are you?" Bucky asked. Everyone looked at Bucky in horror. "No! Who would do that, that is sick." Clint says. Bucky looks down. "You'll be surprised by how many times someone did that to me." Bucky whispers. Steve puts his hand onto Bucky's shoulder. "We would never do anything like that." Steve says sternly and everyone nods in agreement. Bucky blushes and smiles shyly. "Jeez, where were you guys 5 years ago?" Bucky jokes and they all smile at him.
Bucky spots William across the cafeteria and see that William was glaring at him. But for some reason, Bucky didn't really care. Bucky actually got friends. "we heard Brock say Bucky, is that a nickname?" Natasha asks. "Well yeah, but my family calls me that. It's from my middle name. Buchanan. " Bucky says bashful. "That's cool, can we call you that?" Tony asks. Bucky nods. "Sure like you guys don't mind having a friend like me." Bucky says. "Bucky, your awesome. Ignore everyone. Just be yourself." Steve says and Bucky wants to cry. They are not joking, they actually wants to be friends with him.
By the time school was done, Bucky was so excited to tell his parents. "Hey Bucky, you want to walk home together, perks of living beside you." Steve says and smiles when Bucky giggles. "Sure. Bucky says and feels butterflies in his stomach again. Bucky was confused by these feelings. Bucky is going to have to talk to his mother about this. As Steve and Bucky was talking, William was stalking behind them. But again, Bucky didn't care. Bucky and Steve were laughing hard by the time they reach Bucky's house. "Well, see you tomorrow Buck!" Steve says and Bucky smiles. Bucky walks into the house. Winifred hugs him.
"You made friends! I'm so proud of you!" Winifed says and Bucky hugs back even tighter. "Thanks mom!" Bucky says. "So what isnthe total number of friends do you have?" She asks Bucky. "8 friends." Bucky says proudly. "I knew you could do it." Winifred says hugging Bucky again. Bucky was so happy. Maybe, JUST maybe Bucky can stay here and not move away.
