Mike walked into school on his first day at this new school. On his way in a big jerk kicked him in the shin and he dropped his binder, and his books spilled out.

"Sorry loser!" The other four kids laughed. Mike was really angry. Then some girl with a flower in her hair stormed in.

"Hey!" The five mean guys stared at her. "Leave him alone!"

"What're you gonna do princess!"

"This!" The girl kicked him in the nose. "Back off!" The other kids darted off.

"You'll pay for that one princess!" He said as he wiped his now bleeding nose. Then he ran off.

The girl walked in front of Mike. "Hi I'm Zoey!" She said.

"Uhhh… I'm M-M-Mike." Mike said terrified.

"Here." Zoey said helping him with his books. "There. Let's get to class. Hope I'm in your class M-M-Mike! See ya around!"

Mike walked to class and went through the school day regularly with no one messing with him.

On his way home he saw the same five guys. They were walking towards Zoey. She was by herself at the swings. What were those guys up to? One of them came up behind her, and put a hand on Zoey's mouth. The other four pinned her, and tied her hands behind her back, and tied her feet together, one stuck a piece of tape on her mouth. "Told you you'd pay princess!"

Mike ran over as fast as he could. "Hey! Stop!" Zoey watched Mike run head on. She knew he was in for a beating now. She was just relieved someone was here to save her from these jerks. The kids laid her out on the ground and got ready to beat up Mike.

"What are you gonna do? Talk me to death?" The kids around him laughed. Zoey was struggling to get out of the ropes.

"Zoey!" He ran for her but was kicked in the stomach. He tried to get up but was kicked again.

"Stay down!"

He didn't give up he sprang to his feet and ran for Zoey. They tackled him.

"When are you going to learn to quit!" With a swift punch he knocked Mike out cold.
