Chapter 2
Violet was sure she had done the most work she had ever do on a Saturday and Sunday, but they had just finished bringing in the last box,
"Finally!" Mike said sitting down,
"Yep, but now we have to unpack," Mr. Teevee said,
"UUhhh..." Mike moaned into the couch,
"You can go home now if you want Violet," Miss Teevee told her,
"Are you sure, there's a lot to unpack?" Violet asked,
"It's all right, half of them are Mike's video game so he be properly be doing most of the work" Miss Teevee said,
"Ok, bye Mike see you in school," Violet said,
"Bye Violet" Mike replied,
After Violet had left Mr. Teevee looked shocked,
"You didn't tell me you was going to the same school as her" He said,
"Yeah, she said it's nice there," Mike said,
"She seems like a nice girl," Miss Teevee said,
"Yeah," Mike said, his mom give him a look,
"What?" Mike asked,
"You don't have a crush on her do you?" Miss Teevee asked smiling,
"NO, I was just agreeing with you," Mike said standing up, walking towards some boxes,
"Ok I was just asking," She said still smiling,
The rest of the night Mike unpacked, it toke so long by the time he was finished he had to go to bed, but he didn't get much sleep he was too busy thinking about what was going to happen at school.
The next day
"Good luck and have fun," Miss Teevee said driving off, it looked like normal school with normal kids, Mike spotted Violet with her friends, I was walking up to them and heard,
"Mike Teevee is gonna go to this school?" Mike heard for one of the girls, he hid near an old shed and listened to the conversation,
"Wasn't he the one who about 10ft tall?" said another one, "And paper thin?"
"He's a geek," said another,
"More like a freak," said another, Mike felt hurt from the comment but it wasn't gonna put him down,
"Mike IS going to this school, yes he is about 10ft tall and paper thin and he is not a geek or a freak, he's actually a really nice guy," Violet said,
Mike felt touched by that that, no one would ever stand up for him before, he stopped hiding and when over to them,
"Hi Violet," Mike said
"Hi Mike," Violet said, "Mike this is Coralline, Kalel, Mari, and Mel"
"Hi," they all said,
"Hi," Mike said quietly,
"Aww, he's shy," Mel said,
"Start talking about video game with him, then you'll see he's far from shy," Violet said laughing,
"Yeh yeh yeh," Mike said sarcastically,
The first Bell went and everyone was walking in, Mike and Violet had to go to form, luckily they were both in H8 when Mike and Violet walked on people was staring at them, they started whispering to one another,
During Recess
When Mike and Violet had walked outside they expected one or two people would make fun of them, but it more than one two, much more, Violet was nicknamed Bluebell and Mike was nicknamed paper boy, they didn't care about these nicknames, they actually thought they were funny, but it didn't stop there, people started to get the idea that they were going out and started chanting,
"Bluebell and paper boy sittin' in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g first comes love, second comes marriage, then comes a baby in a carriage"
The whole time during recess they got bullied, it would have been hard but they got through it,
After school
Mike and Violet were walking home together, laughing about what happened at school, they didn't see it as bullying they saw it as a joke,
"I can believe they thought we were a couple," Violet said still laughing,
"Yeah, and who on earth came up with the names 'bluebell' and 'paper boy'?" Mike said,
"They sound like superheroes," Violet said as they started to laugh again, "But you did have a nice time didn't you?"
"Yeah it was alright," Mike said smiling,
It was very cold outside and wearing a t-shirt wasn't the smartest idea Violet had, she was getting really cold and started to show it to, she starting to rub her arms as she walked down the street, Mike noticed this,
"Are you cold?" he asked,
Violet nodded her head, Mike then took off his coat and put it around her,
"Thanks," she said,
"You're welcome" Mike replied,
While talking about school, they walked down the streets, but as they were talking something caught Violet's eye,
"Mike where did you get those scars?" Violet asked she could tell straight away Mike was panicking to answer,
"No, Mike you didn't," Violet said, she felt sick, she couldn't bare thinking one of her friends self-harming,
"Violet I promise you that I don't do it anymore that was the past," Mike told Violet,
"Why would you ever consider it?" Violet asked,
"I got bullied a lot at school, kids would beat me every day and all the teachers hated me, it got so bad that I started to hate myself, the self-harming started a year ago, my mom and dad had no idea how bad it was until the night I tried to hang myself in my room, I set the rope up, got on the chair and when I was about to jump my mom walked in, 1 week later here we are" Mike said holding back tears,
"Last week?" Violet said,
"Yeah," Mike said, "But it not that bad anym..."
Violet hugged him before he could finish and start crying, she felt so bad for him,
"Violet please don't cry, I promise I'm fine, it'll never happen again," Mike said accepting the hug,
"I know you won't because I'll make sure you never think about trying to do it again," Violet said,
At home
When Mike got home he knew he had to tell is mom and dad that he told Violet what happened,
"Hi sweetie, how was school?" Miss Teevee asked,
"Me and Violet got bullied, but not as bad as before, they were just calling us names, we got new nicknames, Violet got bluebell and I got paper boy," Mike said,
"Bullied, again" was the only thing that Miss Teevee could say at that moment, she felt sick,
"Mom don't worry, last time you didn't know I got bullied, but you do now," Mike said,
"Mike, promise me if it ever gets that bad again tell me or your father, ok" Miss Teevee said,
"Promise," Mike told his mother, "Uhh... Mom, there's something else that I should properly tell you"
"What," Miss Teevee asked concerned,
"Violet knows what happened, she saw the scars and asked," Mike said, "I told her everything, please don't be mad, we can trust her"
"I'm not mad, but how did she see your scars? Wasn't you wearing your coat?" Miss Teevee asked,
Mike explained to his mother what happened he spent most of the day sleeping, he had a long day, he wasn't hungry that day and didn't eat a thing, his parents were worried if there was something wrong with him, but he really was just tired,
