Rich POV

Okay last year was pretty shitty getting bullied by Dustin getting beat by my dad and failing gym class. But something else happened Jake said he would only be my friend if I cut Michael and Jeremy from my life in a friend way. So thats what I did I told Michael and Jeremy that I was too cool for them and that they were just a bunch of losers. Also I died my hair red, I have a red streak in my hair and it looks so fucking cool. As im walking to school feeling better than ever im wearing a white tshirt I found my favorite yellow and black plaid shirt and some black jeans. My dad told me I looked like a faggot but I brushed it off im used to it.

"Bye dad im leaving now" I yelled

No response. I smile and leave my house. As im walking I see a familiar PT cruiser, it's Michael fucking mell picking up Jeremy. I guess Michael got a car? If I get asked for a ride im going to panic. The car starts moving towards me and then comes to a stop.

"Rich, Do you wanna ride and get some slushies maybe some sushi?" Michael yells through his window

"Im good man but thanks" I say

"Oh okay see ya later man" He yells and drives off

I continue walking in about 30 minutes I'll be at school. Another car pulls up to me I roll my eyes until I noticed who's behind the wheel

"RICHIE" He yells

"Hey Jake" I say

"Need a ride?" He says

"Yea actually thanks" I say walking closer to the car.

"How've you been haven't heard from you all summer"

"Sorry just life at home is not the best but um anyways how have you been" I say changing subjects

"Woah woah Rich you okay? You can always talk to me man. If you need to talk about home like with me thats fine im here for you" He says

"Thanks maybe after school" I say

"Sure wanna come to my place" He asks

"Does lunch actually work um I can't be home later than 4 30" I say

"Hey no problem" He says parking his car

"Well we've arrived......hell" I laugh

Shit. Just please have Dustin leave me the fuck alone like god. I get it im a loser.

"Jake Im th-thorry I've been a dick"

"Awe 9th grade Rich is back my little lispy boy"He laughs

"Haha very funny Jake"

"Yo Chlo how was your summer" he calls seeing Chloe walk up to Jake

"You know how it was we hung out like everyday" she says kissing his cheek

I roll my eyes and walk off. Getting lost in my thoughts not even noticing the one the only. Dustin Kropp. Fun

"Sup loser" He says

"Hi Dustin"I say rolling my eyes walking forward again

"Slow down dickhead"He yells

I stop and turn on my heel.

"Oh so Im the dickhead now. Hmm lets see last year you picked on me at 3 45 every day until the end of the year. You called me names. And now im the dickhead" I say

I didn't notice people stopped and stared. I guess I should probably tell you that I was the weird kid who sat in the back of the class. The kid who ate in the bathroom. Last chosen for dodgeball. Rumors spread that I was fighting Dustin last year and thats where my bruises came from. But I have never touched Dustin till now.

"Calm down man it was a jo-"

I punched Dustin and his stupid ass face.

"Who's laughing now, fag" I said

Turns out I didn't know what came out of my mouth. Fag why did I say that I don't use that term. My dad does and Dustin does not me. I cover my mouth and run to the bathroom.

Time skip

Sitting in 4th period still thinking about what happened this morning. I need Jake I need to talk to him.

Rich: hey neee to talk asap

Jake: it's almost lunch can it wait 25 minutes

Rich: no

Jake: fine meet me in the downstairs bathroom in 5 minutes

Rich: kool

I put my phone in my pocket finish my test and ask to leave. I get permission and I book it down the hall. I open the door to see Jake dumping soap into the sink.

"Really" I laugh

"Okay whats so important you needed to tell me"

"I don't know if you know but I punched Dustin this morning"

"Nice dude"

"No not nice. I called him a fag" I sigh

"Holy shit, he's gonna get you afterschool"

"I KNOW!" I started crying

"I c-cant I fucking cant deal with any more bruises" I cried

"Dustin actually gives you bruises and cuts" He says

I shake my head "no"I say quietly

"Rich is it your dad again?" He says

I look up at Jakes face and cling to him and idk what im doing anymore but it hurts.

"Holy shit man im sorry" he says

"Wanna go get ice cream?screw it lets go get ice cream" He says
