I don't own anything in this story besides the bullies and the story itself.
Chapter 1
Ferb's POV
As me, Phineas, and Isabella were walking home from school, I noticed that Phineas had a sad expression on his face. That's odd, he's usually very happy. Something's going on with Phineas and I don't know what. When the three of us reached my and Phineas' house, Isabella said her goodbyes and went to her house. I then noticed that Phineas' expression hadn't changed so when he went upstairs to our room, I asked my mom a simple question.
"Hey mom?" She turned around and saw me and noticed that I had a concerned look on my face.
"What is it hun?" She said with the same expression.
"Have you noticed Phineas' change in personality and mood?"
"Now that you mention it, yeah I have." Just as she answered, my dad walked in through the front door.
He asked "What did I miss?"
I replied "Nothing really but I do have a question for you."
"Fire away."
"Have you noticed Phineas' change in personality and mood? He's not his usual self."
"I have noticed it quite a bit. All three of us have to make sure that his mood gets better, not worse." Me and Mom both nodded our heads in agreement.
The next day
Phineas' POV
I woke up at 5:30 the next morning with my phone buzzing every few seconds. I picked up my phone and saw so many cruel messages from my bullies: Ben, Ethan, and Henry. Three read:
(Henry) red-head freak!
(Ben) loser!
(Ethan) you are a failed abortion, can't believe your parents wanted you
I sighed, what am I going to do? These guys are making my life a living nightmare. I set my phone down to go to the bathroom and as I washed up, Ferb opened the door and asked
"Hey Phin, you okay?" I nodded my head and we both went back to our room. Since we're supposed to get up soon anyways, we just stayed up and talked about stuff till our dad poked his head through the door and said
"Boys, time to get ready for school." But then he noticed the sad expression on my face and came over to my bed and sat down beside me. "Phineas, are you okay?"
I nodded my head. "I'm fine, dad." I knew that wasn't true.
"Is there something I can do for you?"
"I may have to get approval from both you and mom but, is it okay if I stay home today? I just don't feel like going to school today." Just as I said that, my mom came in and sat on the other side of me.
"Hun, is there something going on at school?" She asked.
"No, I just don't feel like going to school today." My parents looked at each other and my mom looked at me and said
"Your father has to go to work today but I'll be here, is that okay?
"Yeah mom, that's fine."
"Alright sweetie, get some rest." As my parents left my room, I laid my head down thinking when is Ethan, Ben, and Henry going to stop making my life miserable?
Ferb's POV
When I finished getting ready, I noticed that Phineas had laid his head back down. Looks like he's not going to school today. At least I won't be walking alone, I'll have Isabella with me. On the way to school, she asked me a few questions about why Phineas wasn't with us.
"Ferb, why isn't Phineas coming to school today?"
"He didn't feel like going to school today."
"Do you know what's going on with him?"
"No, not at all."
"Ferb, doesn't he tell you everything? You're brothers and best friends, why doesn't he tell you?"
"Isabella, I'm going to let him tell me, you, our parents, and our friends on his own time. Is that okay with you?
"Yeah, poor Phineas, hopefully he gets better soon." I agreed with her, whatever it was that is going on in my brother's life that's making him miserable, I'm going to put a stop to it ASAP. As we approached the school, we saw our other friends: Buford and Baljeet. They too were wondering why Phineas wasn't with us. I told them the same thing I told Isabella. We all agreed to keep our eyes on Phineas when he comes back to school.
Phineas' POV
I was taking an amazing nap when my phone kept buzzing every so often. So when I picked it up, there were messages from Ferb and my friends.
(Isabella) Hey, are you okay?
(Buford) Hi Dinnerbell, hope you're feeling better.
(Baljeet) Phineas, what's going on? Are you okay?
(Ferb) Hey Phin, hope things are going well at home. See you after school.
As soon as I set my phone down to take another nap, I heard a knock on my door and when the figure walked in, I knew exactly who it was.
"Hey little brother, how are you feeling?"
"I'm okay Candace, just not in the mood to do anything today. Where's Mom by the way?"
"Dad called her saying that there were a lot of customers in need of help finding things so Mom called me saying that there's an issue at work and that she needed to get there ASAP so she asked if I could watch over you till she, Dad, or Ferb get home."
"I thought you had a wedding to plan."
"Phin, you're my little brother. Family comes before planning events." I gave Candace a big hug and she left my room so I could get some sleep.
Ferb's POV
As me, Isabella, Buford, and Baljeet sat down at a table for lunch, I saw three boys go to the bathroom and it occurred to me that these guys may be the reason why Phineas has been down. So I excused myself to go to the bathroom and I ran behind the first stall so I could spy on these guys to see if my prediction was right. Then I heard them start their conversation.
"Man, who knew that this guy was such a freak!" A boy with blonde medium length hair said.
"I agree with you dude, he's so pathetic." A boy with short auburn hair said to his friends.
"What was his name again?..." I saw a boy with black medium length hair ponder for a minute then I heard the name of the boy they were talking about. "I remember it now, the freak's name is Phineas Flynn. What a stupid name for a stupid kid." When the boys walked out of the bathroom, I felt my face get red and hot with anger. Nobody treats my brother like that and gets away with it! I knew what I had to do at that moment.
