I do not own Robotboy That's right! A revised (Or atleast updated)version of A Special Friend! It may look the same now but changes will become apparent as the story goes.
I do not own Robotboy
It was a cloudy autumn afternoon in the Bay Area. The bell rang at the Bay Area school and lots of kids started heading home. Two of them were chatting with one another.
"Gus you really gotta stop throwing paper balls at the kid in front of you." The blonde boy said.
"How else am I suppose to entertain myself? School is sooooo boring." said the ginger boy.
Suddenly the boy who Gus was talking to was picked up off the ground and slammed against the wall.
Oh great here we go again he thought.
"Hi Tommy." said Kurt. "Ready for another scraping?"
"Lets just get this over with." said Tommy knowing too well what was gonna happen next. Being beaten to a pulp while Gus cowered behind some garbage cans nearby was becoming a regular occurrence for him.
"Leave him alone!" a voice shouted from behind them.
Kurt turned around to see Lola with a really annoyed look on her face. Kurt dropped Tommy like a hot potato who landed on the ground with a thud.
"Fine." he said then he grabbed Tommy's wrist and pulled of a watch.
"But I get to have a little fun."
"Hey give that back!" cried Tommy.
Kurt dropped the watch on the ground and stomped on it.
"HEY!" shouted Tommy.
Kurt just snickered and left. Tommy picked up the remains of his watch.
"Oh man I had this for ages." he said sadly.
Gus returned from he's hiding place.
"Oh well just another thing to add to your birthday list."
Tommy just sighed as he remembered that tomorrow was his tenth birthday.
"All I want for my birthday this year is for someone who can teach that guy a lesson!"
"Well don't look at me." said Gus opening a jumbo size bag of potato chips.
"Oh please you couldn't teach a four-year-old how to play Snap." said Lola.
"Why would I want to?" asked Gus with his mouth full.
"Come on let's go to your house Tommy." said Lola ignoring Gus.
"Yeah OK." said Tommy getting up but then a strap on his yellow backpack snapped off.
"Oh man not again!" he cried.
"Think there's room on you're list for a new backpack?" asked Lola.
Tommy's backpack was really old In fact he had it since he was six or seven and it used belong to his brother. It was so old the straps started snapping off and instead of buying him a new one his mother always just sewed them back on. So the backpack was now covered in stitches and patches.
Tommy, Gus and Lola were heading to Tommy's house while Tommy was holding the broken strap in place. He was just heading up the steps of his house when he heard a small crashing sound from behind him and now his backpack was as light as a feather.
"Err Tommy?" Gus called out.
Tommy turned around to see a pile of paper and schoolbooks on the pavement.
"Oh no!" cried Tommy and tried to pick everything up but kept dropping them.
"I'll help you." said Lola.
Just then the door to Tommy's house opened Tommy's mother came out obviously hearing the commotion.
"Oh dear what happen here?" she asked.
"His bag broke big time." said Gus pointing to Tommy's backpack which now had a huge hole at the bottom.
"Oh I'll soon fix that." said Deb picking up the backpack and bringing it in the house.
Tommy just sighed sadly.
"Why can't I just have a new one?" he asked.
"Well it will become too small for you soon then she'll have to get you a new one." Lola pointed out.
"I guess." said Tommy sadly.
Tommy entered the house and went upstairs but half way up Donnie pushed past him making him drop everything.
"Out of my way Dork!" he sneered.
Tommy sighed again and picked everything back up. He went up to his room and chucked all his school stuff on his bed.
"Come on Tommy cheer up." said Lola."Things are hard now what with your brother and Kurt and all. But it'll get better."
Tommy just sat on his bed head in his hands.
"You don't know what it's like Lola even if I do my best to stay out of Donnie's way I still seem to get beaten down by him on a regular basis. It's like he goes out of his way to make sure I'm miserable! And I can't even avoid a beating at school because of Kurt!"
"In case you haven't noticed dude he beats me down too." said Gus thoughtlessly.
Tommy glared at his friend.
"Gus do me a favour...shut up!"
Gus just tucked in to his bag of potato chips. Lola sighed.
"You know Gus. He'll do just about anything to be noticed."
"Well maybe not anything." Gus commented.
"Let's play a video game Tommy." said Lola.
Tommy nodded still feeling down.
"OK."
