Rich's POV
Today is Monday. First day I'm back at school. Yay! It's 6:30 so I have 40 minutes until school starts. I want to get out of the house before my dad is up. I get dressed, brushed my teeth and start heading out. Jake used to drive me but it's kinda hard with his casts. I don't want to ride the school bus. Mainly because I don't want to see anyone from school longer than I have to. Luckily school is only about 3 blocks away. After about 10 minutes later I made it to school. I pause before I enter. I can do this. I open the door and walk in. I feel all eyes on me and hear whispers as I walk down the hall. Harder than I thought. Then I saw Jake. And the rest of our friends but all I care about is Jake. "Jakey D!"

"Hey Rich!" He says smiling and everyone else murmurs 'hi'. Everyone is talking when Jake nudges me. "You good? Ready for school?"

I nod, "Yeah. I'm fine."

Then Thomas Jefferson walks through our friend group and pushes me down. And Christine is pushed into a locker. "Watch it losers!" I feel like crying. I see Jenna help Christine. I grab my backpack off the ground, "I'll thee you guyth in clath." I mumble before speed walking to the bathroom. I could hear Jake call my name but I don't turn around.

Jake's POV
"I'll thee you guyth in clath." Rich mumbles before speed walking away.

"Rich!" I call but he doesn't turn around. I sigh, "I swear as soon as I get my casts off I'm going to kick his ass!"

"I'll help!" Jeremy said angry. Michael patted his back in a soothing manner and he calmed down.

"He'll be fine Jake. He's strong." Brooke said patting my back. All I could do is nod. Then the bell rang. Guess it's time for class.
