Chapter 1:
Hello, my name is Moe. I've been bullied almost all my life. It's really frustrating! I'm glad that they left me alone after something happened on that one day, many years ago. I was in seventh grade, if I'm not mistaken. I had no friends. Everybody would bully me because I was not physically active. It wasn't until many years afterward that I found out that I wouldn't need to be.
I was walking to school on a Thursday, like I always do. Thursday is the worst day of the week to me. Between my break period and my lunch period, I have Tony in all my classes. Tony is the worst of the bullies. His jokes are horrible, but everybody likes him because he's over-athletic for his age. I mean, the guy takes around 6 different sports at once. It's crazy! So long have I wanted revenge on him, and soon, I'd get it. Anyways, I was drinking some Coca-Cola while walking to school. I know it's odd for most people to drink soda that early in the morning, but I was thirsty and I didn't feel like getting some water. While walking, I was thinking about how Tony would beat me up that day. Would he throw me in a trashcan? Would he mock me in class? Would he simply challenge me to a fistfight? What would I do? While thinking about this, I hadn't realized that I squeezed my Coca-Cola can into a peculiar figure. What stunk about this was the can still had Coke in it and now my hand was covered with the stuff. I dropped the can, and then I kicked it as hard as I could, which was only around 20 feet. Unfortunately, Tony was riding his skateboard to school and saw what happened. After enduring several insults, he left me alone and went on to school. To make matters worse, it started raining. It's gonna be a long day…
After school, I walked back home, as I usually do. I entered my house and started working on my homework. Even though I had five different assignments, I managed to get through it all within an hour. I looked at the clock. It was 4:30 PM. I decided to watch some T.V. and wait until my parents and sister got home. Even though my sister goes to the same school as me, she arrives later than I do because she stays in the school library to work on projects. I suspect that she'd then drive herself home and be here at 5:45 PM, if she didn't go drive off to someplace else. I turned on my T.V. and switched the channel to Nickelodeon. There's currently a commercial about Geico. I love Geico commercials, so I sit and watch. Suddenly, the T.V. station changed and I saw a newscaster.
He said, "We interrupt this program to bring you this special bulletin. We shall deliver this bulletin within minutes, but whatever you do, please stay inside for your own safety!" And so, I watched and waited…
