Only a quickie, but it gets a point across. That point? You'll see...

Chapter 10-Bully

Sonny's POV

"What are you doing with Chad?" Portlyn asks me, and I shrug.

"Just…hanging." I say, "That's not a problem, is it?"

"Well, just a bit." Grady admits.

"What are you talking about?"

Portlyn looks around, before pulling me close and whispering in my ear. "I don't want you to get hurt."

"What do you mean?" I ask, and she sighs.

"I mean, Chad's no good."

"I thought you said he was OK earlier." I say, sticking up for Chad for the first time in ages.

"Yeah, but I was wrong to tell you that." She sighs, "I saw the charm he used on you. Face it-he's just gonna end up making you fall for him and then he'll break your heart. It happened to me and I don't want to see it happen to you."

"Guys, I'll be fine," I say, "We're just friends."

"For now." Nico says.

"Yeah," Portlyn sighs, "How long is it gonna be before you're having a Romeo and Juliet romance at your balcony?"

I blush. I daren't tell them it's already kinda happened.

"Just…be careful." Portlyn says.

I smile, "Thanks. Port, but I think I'll be fine."

I head over to Chad, to his friends, leaving my new friends behind, worrying about me. At that point I was thinking, they have nothing to worry about…why are they worrying? It wasn't too long before I realised exactly why.

"So, uh, Sonny." The red-head cheerleader, Bella, says, "Where are you from? And why did you have to come here or all places?"

"Bella." Chad says, shaking his head, "Don't."

"No, it's OK," I say, unsure of what's coming, "I'm from…Wisconsin."

"Wisconsin?" Tawni asks, "So you love cheese?"

"I…guess…" I say, starting to worry about what's coming.

"OK…" Tawni says, "You know cheese is bad for you."

"Not really…"

"Yes, it is." Tawni says, "You can get fat…which explains you."

She and Bella snicker, and I look down at my stomach. Am I really that fat?

"Alright, Tawni, that's enough." Chad insists, but it seems Tawni doesn't know the meaning of 'enough'.

"In fact, Sonny, why don't you just run back to your little cheese-loving hometown, coz nobody wants you here. Not even Chad." She wraps her arms around him like snakes and pulls him close, "Right, Chad?"

Chad looks startled, from me to Tawni to me again. I want him to tell Tawni to shove off, but even I know that's not gonna happen.

"Uh…" Chad looks around as everyone in the whole cafeteria seems to be looking our way, and I blush.

"You know what?" I say, "Maybe I will go."

I walk away from the table, deciding I hate Tawni, and possibly hate Chad too, now. I pass Portlyn on the way, who sighs.

"Bet you're gonna say 'I told you so'." I say, and she sighs.

"Come on." She says, "Let's get you out of here."

We walk away from the cafeteria, and I sigh. This really is a tough world. Why did I even make that wish? Coz now, all I want back is my world, the real world. I hate this one.

You see the point? Tawni is a B-wait...this is K rated...never mind ;)

plz review! :D
