Chapter One
Troy's POV
"Take a good look. Do you see any tears?"
I looked the blond-haired bully in the eyes, my back straight, my face neutral, and my eyes narrowed. In the corner of my eye, I could see Emma and Noah, watching me. I smiled on the inside, not being able to help but feel happy with myself. I still don't understand how I can stand up to this kind of person, after all of the bullying that I have endured when I was little. The bullies stared at me like they wanted to kill me, but then I couldn't help but be a little surprised when the blond-haired idiot said to the brown-haired bully, "Come on, he's starting to bore me."
They walked past me, and I watched them go around the corner. Emma and Noah started to walk over to me, and I met them half-way, putting my arm around Emma's waist as she said, "Can you believe those guys?"
I smiled at her, and Noah said as she kissed me on the cheek, "Troy, you were so calm."
Emma looked up at me, and said, "He wouldn't let me come over to you. I wanted to punch those guys in the faces, but he told me that you were as 'cool as ice', and that you could handle it."
I chuckled at the thought of Emma punching anyone in the face, and I said, "I can handle it, now."
Noah cocked his head, and said, "What do you mean, now?"
"Don't you remember? I was bullied a lot when we were little. I couldn't cope with it, then, but somehow I can, now. I guess it's from having you guys, and learning Karate from our parents."
Noah nodded, saying, "Yeah, I remember."
Just then, we heard a little kid yelling, followed by laughing. The three of us looked at each other, and we walked around the corner. When we saw the bullies picking on a little kid, I narrowed my eyes, and said as I took my arm from around Emma's waist, "You guys stay here, I'll be right back."
I walked over to the bullies, and grabbed the blondie's wrist, which he was holding high in the air, holding a container with some bug in it. As he looked back at me, I said, "Just because you're bigger, doesn't mean you can pick on him. No matter how small, everyone, and everything, deserves respect."
That may have been what I said, but what I thought was, Give the kid back his container, or so help me, I will pummel you. I let the wrist go, and he gave the kid his container. As the two bullies walked off, I stared at them, while they stared at me. Emma and Noah walked up behind me as the kid looked at the container, and said, "Thank you."
"No problem, kid. What is that?"
He said that it was some kind of beetle, and I said as he walked off, "Cool."
Noah said as Emma slid her arm around my waist, "Troy, that was awesome, man."
I smiled as we walked to class.
(AN: I don't recall them saying the bullies' names, so I'll call them Shawn and Micheal.)
Blond Bully's POV
As we walked away from that red-shirted freak of a new kid, I said, "Man, we need to teach that new kid a lesson."
Micheal nodded, and said, "What're we gonna do, Shawn?"
I smiled as we walked into our classroom, "We're gonna make him cry."
Emma's POV
After school, we went over to Ernie's. As we sat down, Jake pointed at the window, saying in a low voice, "Hey, look, you guys, it's those bullies."
We all looked out the window, and saw that the two jerks had bags full of items. Gia muttered, "I wonder what those clowns are up to."
Troy smiled, saying, "Probably up to no good."
I looked over at him, and saw something spark in his eyes, something I had never seen before. So I asked him if he was ok, and he looked at me, smiling. Nodding, he said, "Yea, Em, I'm fine."
He took my hand, and I squeezed it. The owner, Ernie, turned up the music really loud, and Troy and I quickly covered our ears, wincing. Ever since that guitar monster, we can't stand anything loud. Gia yelled as she looked at the bald man behind the counter, "Ernie, turn that off!"
However, before he could turn it off, Troy and I stood up, with him saying, "That's ok, guys. We have to get to the library, anyway."
We quickly walked out, and Troy said, "Man, I hate that monster! We can't even listen to music, anymore!"
I took his hand as I said, "Maybe it'll get better."
I was rewarded with a small smile, and he replied, "So, what do want to do at the library?"
"Well, there's this new plant that's in the forest. I want to look it up, and then go back to find it again."
He chuckled, and nodded, saying, "Alright. I guess I could look up some books or something while you do that."
Shawn's POV
As the two dweebs passed the alley we were in, I looked at Micheal, and said, "Did you hear that, dude? He can't stand loud music! Not only do we have this stuff, but that's another advantage that we have!"
"What're we gonna do to him, Shawn?"
I grinned evilly, and said, "We're gonna torture the new kid."
He smiled back at me, and we picked up the bags, walked out of the alley, and followed them.
Troy's POV
We walked into the library, and I smiled as I watched my girlfriend go over to the computers. I walked over to the dvd/cd section, and started to look through the stacks. I didn't see anything, so I walked back up to the computers. I walked up to her, just as she stood up. She said, "Ok, I found it! It's called the blumminbudde, the Blooming Flower."
I smiled at seeing how happy she was, so I said, "Ok, you go find it. I'm gonna stay here a little while longer, and look for something that I want to try."
She nodded, kissed me, and said, "I love you, Troy."
"I love you, too, Em."
She walked out, and I walked over to the cookbooks. Next week was Emma's birthday, and I wanted to make her something special. When I didn't see any good recipes, I sighed, thinking, Maybe mom and dad will have something that I can try.
I walked out of the library, smiling at the librarian as I passed. I walked down the sidewalk, and then remembered that I forgot something in my locker. So, I turned down an alley, which was a shortcut back to the school. As I was walking, I heard laughter behind me. I whirled around, thinking it was another monster, but instead, I saw that blond-haired jerk, Shawn. My eyes narrowed as I said, "What do you want?"
"You were stupid to stand up to me, new kid."
"I was doing what was right. Someone has to stand up to you."
"Yeah, well, it wasn't a very good idea."
His eyes flickered to something, or someone, behind me. Just as I started to turn around, I was grabbed from behind, with one arm holding my arms still, and the other hand was over my mouth. I struggled, and continued to struggle as Shawn said, "Let's go, Micheal. We need to get him out of here, before someone sees."
As Micheal started to drag me off, I started to lose consciousness, because Micheal was covering my nose, also. Right before I blacked out, I thought, I hope they don't search my pocket. My morpher's in there.
Review Please!
