(Lloyd's POV)

My mom was embarrassing. And I knew she wasn't only embarrassing me. My "hero" seemed to be embarrassed too. What was his name, again? Xander...? "What... Happened?" My mom asked again. I began to speak but was interrupted. "All it was is Kai and Cole bullying Lloyd and my friends and I tried to help him. That is it." Zane said, obviously losing patience with my mom. She glared at me. "Why were they bullying you? What did you do?" "WHY DO YOU ASSUME I DID SOMETHING!? IT WAS THEM! ALL THEM! MOM WHAT THE –" I began. "Lloyd..." Said my mom and Zane synchronized. My mom had finally lost her patience with me. "Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon! All I need to know is what you did! Since you entered the school, what events occured!?" She shouted. I was taken by surprise. My mom NEVER yelled at me. It was always Jaylynn and Morro she yelled at. "Oh... Well, I walked into the school to my locker, Morro gave me my backpack and said not to let anyone mess with me then Jaylynn stopped him before he could curse, they left, I said goodbye, then I got my books and when I turned Kai and Cole were there and one of them said to give me a 'warm welcome'." I explained skipping over what Morro said exactly. My mom looked like she was thinking then turned to the guy next to me. "Zane, tell me about Kai and Cole. Are they bullies?" That was his name... Zane. I listened to what he had to say. "Indeed. They are indeed bullies. They were not always bullies. At one time, they were like brothers to me. Kai is a football player and Cole is a dancer. My friends and I would always show up to their games, recitals, etc. Then one day Kai and Cole wanted to try something out. They wanted to see if Cole could dance in the middle of the football field while Kai was sprinting at him throwing a football. Jay, Samantha and I tried to stop them but they refused. All was well at first, until Kai tripped and dropped the football. It had rolled right underneath Coles feet making him fall. They both ended up with broken ankles and Cole with a broken wrist as well. They have blamed us since and decided to bully others to show them what it feels like being hurt, whether it be mentally or physically." Zane explained.

I was shocked. Those jerks used to be nice? That is the last thing I expected to hear. "Thank you, Zane. You may head to class. Mathematics room 109. Oh, and you better give the teacher this..." My mom handed Zane a green paper, likely a note. "Thank you, Miss Misako." Zane said as he left. "Lloyd...?" I gulped then looked at my mother. She looked ticked off. "Y...yes?" "After school your father and I are going to have to talk with you..." She said. "Yeah, I figured." I muttered. She got my phone from my backpack. "Can you hold this in either of your hands?" She asked handing me the phone. I tried but the pain was too strong to bear. "Non. Désolé maman." I said testing my French. She smiled. "No, sorry mother?" She translated. I nodded. "Oui." She got her phone and texted someone. "Who was that?" I asked. "Your sister." Was the reply. I sighed. "So, she coming to save me from physical and mental pain?" I asked messing with my mom. She rolled her eyes. "Go to class. She will be here around lunch time to check out you wrists." I got up and headed to class hiding my limp. Today was NOT gonna be a great first day.

(Coles POV)

I sat in the office waiting for the principal to come. Kai was fiddling with something on my backpack. "What are you doing...?" I asked. "Duhh messing with your backpack." Kai replied. I rolled my eyes. Then the principal came in. This was not the first time Kai and I had been sent here. We are troublemakers. "Menard... Smith..." The principal said. "Hey." I said as if he were my friend. "Sup." Said Kai leaning back in his chair. "So, Ms Grant told me why you are here..." the principal said. "Yep. That shrubby little sophomore didn't stand a chance." Kai smirked. "You can not keep bullying new students. Do you have any idea how many people transferred high schools because of you?" The principal asked. I thought about that. Kids dropped out of school cause of us? "Um.. What are ya saying?" Kai asked. "If you keep this up you will be suspended." "So... We need to actually... Make friends?" Kai asked as if it were terrible. The principal nodded. This was not an easy thing for me to do. I am REALLY shy and it doesn't help that everyone thinks I'm emo. I was lucky to even have Kai.

The principal let us go to class. We walked in and saw the blonde sophomore kid, Zane, Samantha, Jay, and everyone else staring at us. "You're late..." said the teacher Mr. Garmadon. "Yeah, sorry." Kai said running to the very back of the room. I pulled my black sweater hood over my head so you could only see half my face (my dark bangs covered the other half) and I walked to my seat... The only free seat was next to the sophomore, who looked to be in pain. "As I was saying... Does anyone know the answer?" The teacher asked. Nobody knew at first. Then the sophomores hand shot up. "Yes, Lloyd?" "The answer is x=137." The sophomore, Lloyd said. "That is correct." The teacher smiled at so-called Lloyd with a sort of affection. Lloyd sank down in his chair after everyone began whispering that the only sophomore in the junior/senior classes was smarter than us... And the possibility he could be the teachers son considering the way he smiled. A few minutes later we were dismissed to English with Ms Grant. Everyone hated Ms Grant. But she didn't care. Although, there was one person in particular she hated. And that happened to be me.

I walked to my locker where Kai was waiting. "Hey... Dude did you see the way Mr. Garmadon smiled at that Lloyd kid?" Kai smirked and blushed slightly. "Yeah... Why are ya blushing?" I asked. "Oh, no reason." Kai said then sighed. "Bro, you're acting suspicious." I said. I looked at Kai who seemed distracted. "Dude? Whatcha looking at?" I asked. "Remember how Principal Wu said to make friends?" Kai asked. "Yeah, so?" I asked losing my patience. "Well, there's a good start..." Kai pointed to the Lloyd sophomore guy. He was trying to stay balanced and get his books at the same time. I guess we must have hurt him pretty badly cause he collapsed. I sorta feel bad for the kid. "Should we help him?" I whispered to Kai. "Maybe..." He answered. We looked over and there was a girl helping him up. Kai and I both recognized her very well.

(Kai's POV)

Ugh...really? Mikayla Grace Barns. She was a freshman. Why did she have to beat us to Lloyd?! I was determined to make friends with Lloyd. Maybe we could be more than friends.. But that wasn't important right now. "Well, looks like we need to find someone else to be friends with..." Cole began. "NO!" I protested. "I'm not gonna be that guy! I won't give up! I will win Lloyd over if its the last thing I do!" I shouted. Several people looked over. Cole stared at me. Did I say that out loud? Then I looked over and saw Zane attempting to get his books. Cole and I looked at each other then walked to him. When he saw us, I swear I saw him flinch. "W..what are you guys doing? You aren't gonna hurt me are you?" He asked. "No..." Cole answered. "Principal Wu said we need to make friends, so... Will you accept us back?" I asked hoping he believed me. He hesitated. "Yes. Welcome back, brother." He finally answered. Cole and I fist bumped at our success, then helped Zane take his books to class. Again, we had class with the sophomore, Samantha, Jay, and this time, my sister Nya. Ms Grant was not yet in the room. I noticed Jay Walker flirting with Nya. "WHAT DO YOU THINKS YOURE DOING!?" I shouted at Jay. He turned to me and gulped. "Kai, dude... Tell him what we are.." Cole began. He didn't need to finish. "Oh yeah. We can't bully anymore... I know, terrible. So, will yo peeps accept us back? Zane already did..." I almost whispered the last part. Jay nodded, Nya rolled her eyes and nodded, and Samantha stared at us. "Kai John Smith and Cole Westly Brookstone Menard...YAS!" Samantha shouted. We all exchanged hugs which made everyone in class stare. I turned and noticed Lloyd the sophomore guy sitting in the very back row... Crying..? I walked towards him. "Hey, sophomore..." I whispered. He whimpered and hugged his knees. "Don't hurt me..." He whispered. "I won't. I just wanna say I'm sorry about earlier... Can you forgive me?..." I asked. Before he could answer, I could hear a voice behind me. "Kai Smith and Lloyd Garmadon, why are you not in your seats?" Said Ms Grant. "Sorry-" I began. "Unacceptable. Detention after school, both of you." "WHAT!?" shouted us both. "I beg your pardon, Ms Grant, but Kai was merely–" Zane began. "Detention for you as well." She scolded. "Ms Grant you can't do that!" Jay and Samantha shouted at the same time. "I can if I want! Detention for your whole group of little friends. Anyone wanna join them?" Ms Grant asked. Everyone stayed silent. "Good. Now today we are learning the different spellings of there..."

It was lunch time. Finally. We all sat at the same table. Well, the sophomore not included. He was sitting at a table with two young adults. I think they're his siblings or something. The girl had shoulder length blonde hair that was obviously dyed. The guy had just above shoulder length hair the was jet-black with a strip of green on the left side. I dunno if its natural or dyed. Anyway, so now that the guys and I are friends again, we had a LOT of catching up to do. "So, I see you still like Nya..." Cole smirked at Jay. "Shut up." Jay blushed. "Dude, you have a crush on Sakura Kondalenez." Samantha said shooting Cole an evil smile. "Stop it!" Cole blushed. "Oh, dude isn't she on your dance team?" I asked purposely butting into his love life. "Stop!" He shouted again. We all laughed at his embarrassment. "Colies got a girlfriend!" sang Zane. It was rare he found this kind of stuff funny. "Zane, you still in you with that Pixal girl?" I asked him. He nodded. "Oohhh look who's talking now!" I elbowed his side. "Ow... I do not understand..." He said. We all groaned and sighed. "Dude, learn these terms: humor and gossip." Jay said, sipping his Pepsi. We all laughed cause Zane was sooooo clueless. I heard yelling from behind me suddenly. I looked back over at where that Lloyd guy was sitting, then I realized where the yelling was coming from.

(Morro's POV)

-5 minutes ago-

"Alright, what happened?" I asked as Jaylynn looked at Lloyd's wrists. "Um..." Lloyd replied. "Lloyd what happened to 'don't let anyone mess with you or else'?" I asked. He looked at the floor. I sighed. "Well," Jaylynn began taking off her glasses. "They're defiantly broken. I don't understand how you can manage to break both your wrists in... What 4 hours of school?" Jaylynn sighed and stared at Lloyd, who only sank down lower into his seat. "Lloyd Garmadon, what happened? I will single handedly murder anyone who hurts you..." Jaylynn covered my mouth before I could finish. "What Morro is TRYING to say here, is that anyone who hurts you probably has a hurt of their own... And you should talk to them." Jaylynn apparently corrected. Huh... Is that what she thought I was saying? Well, she's very wrong. "Look, its nothing." Lloyd finally answered. "Doesn't look like nothing." I replied glaring at him. He looked uncomfortable. I smirked a bit but kept glaring at him. My goal was to make him as uncomfortable as possible so he'd be forced to answer me. My older sister Samaria used this tactic on me a LOT in my childhood. "Fine! It was some bullies... They beat me up..." Lloyd said. It was clear he was on the verge of tears. I looked away horror struck. It reminded me much of my own childhood. Of course now I'm 27, but still.

"Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon! Does mom know?" Jaylynn asked. Lloyd nodded. "Oh... Duh she called me." Jaylynn glared at me with puppy eyes. She only ever did this on two conditions. To plead and when she wants me to slap her. I never question the strange needs and desires of my fiancée, I just do it. She, being next to me made it easier yet harder to do... But I slapped her anyway. Lloyd covered his eyes. It didn't take me long to realize why. His parents were still very protective of him, so any sort of violence, even just slapping, was a really bad thing to him. "Oh, sorry Lloyd." We both said guilty. He uncovered his face slightly then nodded. Sometimes I wonder how this kid made it so far... My phone then vibrated.

I looked at it and it was 10 texts from the people who want to interview me for a job. Aside from that, 2 texts from Misako. Misako had been asking how Lloyd was doing. I quickly replied without Jaylynn seeing me, then put my phone down. Jaylynn was now examining Lloyd's leg and ankle. He winced every once in awhile. I felt bad for him. "Ha, so yous need your own personal doctor, huh sophomore." Said a voice. I turned and saw a kid with blue and green dyed hair and torn jeans. His shirt ruined the intimidating teenager look, for it had rainbows and unicorns on it. "What the fudge dude... You're supposed to be a high school boy not a five year old girl." I said standing up. The kids at nearby tables all laughed and I heard a few whispering "Swilard just got burned." "Huh, so Swilard is it?" I asked. "Why do you care? Why are you here? Ya get held back nine years?" Swilard smirked. "Actually, we are assisting my little brother." Jaylynn said. Lloyd sighed and facepalmed. Swilard laughed. "So, this helpless little sophomore needs his sissy and brother to help him? Pathetic." Swilard spit at Lloyd. "Take that back right now!" I shouted. I couldn't help it. He had just made fun of Lloyd and I wouldn't allow it. "Give me a good reason why I should!" Swilard said. By now, a good amount of the children were looking at us. "Morro, don't do this..." Muttered Jaylynn. "Yeah, the girls right. Don't get into a fight that isn't yours." Swilard said. "Oh this is my fight now." I smirked. "Morro, don't." Lloyd pleaded. "Lloyd is not pathetic. You WILL take that back, or else..." I said through gritted teeth. "Or else what? You'll gives me a check up?" Swilard laughed. I pinned him against the table. "WHY DO YOU TAKE PLEASURE IN BULLYING PEOPLE!? JUST BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE IS HOW YOU WOULD LIKE THEM TO BE DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO BE A JERK! I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE! Trust me! But bullying doesn't help anything! NOTHING!" I shout drawing attention to myself. Jaylynn looks up at me from wrapping Lloyd's ankle. "Morro... You're gonna get us kicked out to here..." Jaylynn whispered nervously. "Morro Harper Grant!" Said a familiar voice. I sighed and let Swilard go glaring at him as he cowered away giving him the message. The message was that I was not finished with him yet.

"Morro Harper Grant, what are you trying to do, ruin your reputation?!" said Samaria followed by Misako. OK, there were two possibilities. They heard me, which is likely, or a student got them, also likely. There was now whispering around the cafeteria. Some brunette kid ran up to Lloyd and Jaylynn. He seemed to be helping...? "Morro, look at me! You can not just waltz into my school, my turf and do that!" said my ticked off sister. "I just-" I began. "No! Its my job to make fun of and yell at teenagers!" Samaria said, then walked off with her hair twirling perfectly as she turned. "Morro..." whispered Misako. I looked around. The students seemed bored of this now, and carried on with their normal lives. "Yeah yeah, I know. I can't keep doing that in public..." I whispered. "And..?" Asked Misako. I sighed "especially not in front of Lloyd." She nodded. "Good." "Hiya, mom. He's got two broken wrists and a sprained ankle. He'll have to stay off of it for three weeks. As for his wrists, they'll both need casts. They are fine with the wrap I gave them till the end of the school day..." Her voice trailed off in my mind. I looked over at the brunette boy and Lloyd. Lloyd seemed to be afraid but the brunette didn't care. I wish I could feel the same, but I can't.

Being here with Lloyd makes me feel like I'm in high school all over again. That boy made fun of Lloyd, and I wouldn't allow it to happen again. I just hope the rest of the year goes better then today did... And I can just say one thing about this experience. I'm just glad Lloyd isn't high school me.
