Do you ever feel like your alone in the world? Like there is this big world full of people but, no one to talk to. It's been like that ever since my best friend went 'missing'. I know exactly what happened to him but, I can't talk to anyone about it because they may think I'm crazy. So I just shut up and keep to myself.

"Hey, Micheal. You feeling any better?" Asked one of my closest friends Shukni.

Shukni Is your typical teenage girl. She has long black hair and big brown eyes. She is the captain of the girl's volleyball team. Shukni is also on the school's drama team with me and my other friends, that's how we all met each other.

"I'm fine," I told her. But deep down, all I wanted to do is be left alone and cry.

"Fine? Come on tell me." She said while nudging me, trying to make me feel better.

"I'm fine!" I said with anger. I didn't mean to snap off on her but, it's just been hard keeping all my emotions built-in.

"I'm sorry, Shukni. It's just that my depression, anxiety, it's too much to handle sometimes. I'm sorry." I apologize while hugging her.

"It's fine, Micheal. Sooooo, you going to hanging out with the gang tonight?" She asked while trying to break the awkward silence.

"Sure," I mumbled under my breath.

"Sounds like a date!" She said with excitement. "I mean...." She starts blushing.

"A good idea." I corrected her.

She has been crushing on me since she moved to De Moines, Iowa. A little state next to Kansas City.

We then split up into different parts of the school. I had my last class of the day to go to before the final bell. Gym... The worst class ever! Not that I hate any of the activities, it's just the people in the class I hate! Speaking of the devil...

"Hey, nerd. Got any nerdy plans for today? Are you going to play Pokemon and watch Anime?" Jackson rudely smirked

Jackson is the school's bully and he picks on the 'nerds' for his entertainment. He's also the school's quarterback for my high school football team. He has short blonde hair and wears a fake rich boy smile.

"Anime is not for nerds! And not today, please. Just don't do this today." I said kindly, hoping that he would be a nice person today. I was so wrong.

"Hahaha. Very funny! Now, nerd listens here-" He tried to tell me something bu,t then my friend Isacc jumped in.

"Come on Jackson, leave the man alone," Isacc said while stepping in front of me.

"Whatever. Why do you hang out with the nerd's like Micheal, anyway? You're on the football team. You can get any girl you want. You can-" Jackson asked but, Isacc interrupted him.

"Loyalty. It's all about loyalty," He said while pointing to his head. "Come on, Micheal. We don't want to be late for class" He said. We then walked safely to class.

___________________________________________________________

By the time Isacc and I arrived at the gym, it was 2:45 and class started at 2:30. Coach looked furious.

"Mr. Jennson! Mr. Mendoza! Do you have a good excuse, why you guys are late?!" He said as he folded his arms and started to tap his foot on the ground.

"No sir. But, in my opinion, We were only... fifteen minutes late." Isacc said while checking his time on his phone and then showing it to coach.

"Mmm. Get to your spots, smart ass. And don't be late next time." He said while grabbing his clipboard.

Coach then went to the supply closet, grabbed a bag, and threw it on the ground. That could only mean one thing. Dodgeball today! I hate Dodge ball! Why? Because of Jackson and his 'friends'. They always go straight for me!

"Your team captains today are Isacc Mendoza and, Jackson Smith. If Isacc picks you, you're on the blue team. But, if Jackson picks you, you're on the red team. You know the rules! Oh and Isacc picks first." Coach explained.

"I want Micheal, China, and Simon on my team." He said while pointing at us. Thank god! At least I get to be on the same team as my friends.

"I want Bull, Anthony, and Jay on my team," Jackson said while pointing to his friends. Gulp.

Tison is what the school 'Bull'. He's the school's linebacker and they call him that because when he gets mad there is no going back...

After we picked out teams and got beat, I headed to the door as fast as I could to avoid Jackson. But once again he stopped me.

"Nerd. How did the ball taste? Since I hit you in the face so many times." Jackson smirked.

"Don't you have something better to do?" I asked him and turned around, started to walk away again.

"Whatever? What's the nerd squad doing today?" He asked and stopping me, again.

"Nothing! Absolutely, nothing! We have to go now. Come on, Micheal." Isacc then walked to the door and jumped him.

"Yeah, bye jerk," I said while regretting every word that came out. He then grabbed my shoulder and forced me to turn around.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY?" He said with an evil look in his eye.

"I said. Bye, Jerk." I repeated and then turned back around and started to walk away.

"Nerd, get over here. NOW!" Jackson yelled. But I kept walking.

"I'm here, what are you going to do about it?" Isacc said while getting in his face.

All I heard after that was, "Fight, Fight, Fight. " From all the kids crowded around Isacc and Jackson. I had to turn around.

"Come on, Isacc," I yelled to him.

"You're right. He's not worth my time, anyway. I'm coming." He yelled back while running towards me. We then left the school and headed down the street.
