The minute the alarm went off I shot up, eyes wide. Damn, why is that piece of crap so loud! I reached over and shut it off. I hopped off my bed and dragged along as I got ready and ate silently at the table. I ignored my dad and left about 5 minutes after he did.

As I was walking to class I saw a kid being picked on right next to the door to the classroom I had to go into.

Beating time

As I got closer I heard, ”..Why are you so stupid and weird, you dork! I can kick your ass and you would never be able to help yourself.” That’s it!

I felt this surge of anger wash through me. “Leave him alone you bastard!” I yelled. “You want to start something, new girl!” “Don’t call me that!” I yelled as I pushed his head against the wall. Sounds like that hurt. After that he was all flustered. “Come on lets go, dumb ass here needs to think, if that won’t kill him!”

I never got the kid’s name. But, throughout the day I did notice that he was really clumsy and wore sunglasses and he was a bit cute.
