A/N: hey guys this is my first story... it seems like a good idea to me but i just want to know if anyone wants me to continue... please, please review and tell me if you do. i'm really unsure about posting this story.
Joshua W. was a peculiar boy. When Joshua was a baby he had been abandoned on the front steps of a small orphanage just outside of San Francisco, with nothing but the maroon blanket he was wrapped in and a small round locket that had his name on it. Baby Joshua was woken that morning by a screaming woman who he would learn was called Sister Henrietta.
As Joshua grew up strange things happened to him. When his lunch money was taken by occasional bully he would find some spare money in his pockets that he could have sworn were empty. Or when crazy Sister Marguerite had cut his hair until he was almost bald, he had dreaded and feared school the next day where the kids already picked on him, only to awake and find that his hair had grew back over night.
But Joshua had never thought much of these strange phenomenon's. He had other things to worry about at the age of eleven. Joshua was the main target of a local band of bully's who called themselves "The Skulls", their leader was Billy Fletcher.
Billy Fletcher was tall, strong and mean. He had spiky black hair and yellow-brown eyes that looked like vomit. He was at least 5'9 and towered over the other 6th graders. It was rumored that he was really 14 but had been expelled for 3 years while he was charged with killing a teacher, but they didn't have enough evidence to convict so now he was back. Billy Fletcher always wore faded, ripped, baggy blue jeans and a black T-shirt, with a black and red flannel shirt over it. He also wore a small leather bag attached to a string around his neck and when people asked what was in it he would sneer and say "teeth, one tooth for every person I've killed". Billy also had a small group of toady's.
First was Ed "The Head" Steadman, Ed was small and weak but he was smart. He was the one who stole the answers to tests, tricked the vending machine into giving them sodas for free and distracted teachers while they beat the snot out of someone. He was a rebellious little nerd who knew how to steal. Ed had straight blonde hair and icy blue eyes hidden behind wire-rimmed glasses.
Next were Erik and Derek twins who were fat, dumb and ugly. They mainly protected Billy and held kids arms behind their backs while Billy punched them.
Billy Fletcher has hated Joshua ever sense he told Mrs. Stevenson that it was Billy who had left a tack on her chair when she was passing out the quiz. It didn't help that Joshua was slightly odd looking.
Joshua had fiery red hair and a freckled complexion. He had a long nose and was fairly tall and lanky for his age. He had brown eyes. His hands and feet were slightly too big and it made him prone to tripping over nothing at all. Joshua wore baggy worn down clothes and his locket. His locket was one of the stranger things about him, it was small and round and hung on a gold chain. In fancy cursive writing was his name, well at least part of it. Joshua W- the rest appeared to be scratched out and was therefore unreadable. So he was Joshua W. and this is his story.
