Chapter 1: Bullies and School

It was 6:45 in the morning and Michael was still tired. He knew he had to get up soon to get ready for school. "UGHHHH!!",yelled Michael,"Another day of school and another day of Matt's ugly face". Matt is the bully at school. He steals lunch money and beats people up in the locker room. As Michael gets ready for school, he thinks about meeting up with his friend, John, at school. His other friend, Randy, is always late so he won't be able to meet up with him. He left his house at 7:25 to meet up with John at 7:30. As they walk to school, Matt sees them and walks over to them. "Hey, ugly and dumb", Matt says. Micheal says,"Why don't you just leave us alone for one day,huh?". Matt pushes Micheal and says,"Then why don't u stop me,punk." John and Micheal turned off and walked away while Matt's friends continued to laugh. In school was just as bad. Randy finally walked into class at 8:09, when he was supposed to be there for 8:00. Randy sat down next to John and the started their classwork. Micheal sat next to Clare a bully worse than Matt because she doesn't have to worry about Micheal hitting her back. Clare was punching Micheal in the shoulder and ripping his work up. She ripped up her homework just to get Micheal in trouble! John and Randy were getting their laughs in just before the end of class. When it was time for lunch, Randy, John, and Micheal were all laughing at a joke in 3rd period. They stopped laughing when a carton of milk flew across the cafeteria and splashed on all of them. It was soon a food fight, a 97 on 3 food fight.
