I don't own anything in this story besides the bullies, Mr. Peterson, and the story itself.

Phineas' POV

A few weeks later, after Winter Break ended and the bullies served their suspension…

So far, life has been going uphill for me since Mr. Thompson caught Ben, Henry, and Ethan in the midst of hurting me not long before Winter Break started and has been keeping an eye on them since then. To be honest, it was kind of weird not being beat up or insulted everyday since I was so used to it but, at least for the moment, I can relax. As I was walking out of school to meet up with my friends, I caught Henry and Ethan having a conversation. I hid behind the lockers so I could overhear what they were saying and by the looks and sounds of it, Henry was not in a good mood.

"Henry, you okay dude?" Ethan asked.

"What do you think?! First, I get in trouble for that video of you and Ben beating up that red-haired midget and second, I catch my dad drinking and wasting money AGAIN!"

"First of all, didn't you post that video in September? Why did you just get in trouble for it?"

"I guess Mr. Thompson didn't see it till break and called me in this morning and gave me morning detention for the rest of the week." Ethan's eyes widened.

"Really?"

Henry nodded. "Yep, I still couldn't believe that I got away with it for so long! Now back onto my drunk as anything dad. Friday, he's going to a bar to drink again while I'm going to be stuck at home with nothing."

"Yikes, well, I'm going home. See you later dude."

"See you later Ethan." As the conversation ended, I ran outside to see Ferb, Isabella, Baljeet, and Buford just waiting by the steps. When I got to the bottom of the steps, all of them looked a bit impatient.

"Dude, what took you so long?" Buford asked.

"I overheard a conversation between Ethan and Henry. Henry's father is an alcoholic and is going to a bar Friday and that helped me come up with a plan."

"Okay, what is it? Hopefully it doesn't involve violence!" Baljeet said worriedly.

"Don't worry, it won't involve violence...only humiliation. It involves me following Mr. Peterson to the bar and taking pictures of him and posting them on social media." Ferb smiled and put his hand on my shoulder.

"This is great payback for Henry, but what about the other two?"

"That's a bridge we'll cross once we get there."

On Friday

Henry's POV

Once again, my dad's wasting his time and money on drinks instead of finding a job and paying bills. God, wish I could get out of this hellhole. I thought. At least Ben and Ethan care about me. As my dad left to go to a bar, I went to the kitchen to get something to eat and once I did, I went back to my room and just watched some movies on the laptop I was able to get for a low price. After watching two movies, I went to sleep, not aware of what would come.

On Monday

On Monday, when I walked into the school, I found my friends with angry expressions written on their faces. They saw me and motioned me over.

"Hey Henry," Ben said. "Look what the red-headed freak posted Friday night." I looked at Ben's phone and saw pictures of my dad drinking at the bar with the caption: Mr. Peterson is drinking once again, will he ever stop? My face turned red and hot with anger. My friends could definitely tell I was out for blood.

"That little jerk! He'll pay for this!" Ethan and Ben agreed with me. As we were walking to our first class, we talked about what can happen to the jerk later that day. Later that day, we walked out and saw the little jerk leaning up against one of the brick walls. I stormed over there, grabbed his collar, and shoved him against the wall. "YOU LITTLE JERK, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN HUMILIATE ME?!" He was barely fazed by my screaming, much to my surprise.

"Maybe...it's payback for what you have done to me over the past year?" He gave a smirk that only made me more angrier. My friends noticed that I needed help and rushed over to me. "Hey, you three put me in the hospital for two and a half months, it's only fair that I did something for revenge, still haven't thought of what to do for you two but I'll figure it out." As soon as he heard that, Ethan came over and moved me out of the way. He raised his fist and punched the little jerk in the eye. But as Ben grabbed a nearby metal pipe, we felt cold stares. When we looked over, we saw the jerk's friends with anger written on their faces, walking towards us. The jerk's female friend went over to see if he was okay while his male friends came to us. The guy we know as "the freak's protector", grabbed Ethan and pushed him to the ground.

"What the hell did you do to Phineas this time you JERKS?! The aforementioned guy said with anger blazing through his violet-blue eyes. While my friends stayed silent, I spoke up.

"Oh I don't know, maybe Ethan gave him a black eye because HE FREAKING HUMILIATED ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA!"

"Oh yeah, well you deserved it! All three of you deserve to get humiliated!"

"Why you little-" I started to say but before I could finish, Ethan put a hand on my shoulder and said.

"Let's go, it's not worth it. But before we fled, Ben used the metal pipe on the dark skinned kid and left.

Phineas' POV

"BALJEET!" Me and my friends cried out as our Indian friend fell to the ground. At that moment, I felt a feeling of guilt. As Ferb and Buford went to check on Baljeet, Isabella stayed behind to see if I was alright.

"It's my fault." I said, tears coming out of my eyes.

"Phineas, no, it's not-" Isabella tried to say but I cut her off.

"IT IS!" I yelled out, getting the attention of Ferb and Buford. "BECAUSE I POSTED THOSE PHOTOS, BALJEET GOT HURT!" I got up and ran away, crying all the way. As I ran, I thought to myself-If I hadn't posted those photos, Baljeet wouldn't have gotten hurt, I'm such an idiot!

Alright, here's the next chapter! Poor Baljeet got hurt and now Phineas blames himself for his friend getting hurt. So now that I have a new story(I published the first chapter yesterday), I'm going to figure out when to update each story. I've been updating this story almost every week and that might become a routine for me! Disneyfan16, I can't thank you enough for helping with this story, it means a lot to me! Anyways, hope you liked this chapter! I'll probably have Ferb try to comfort Phineas in the next chapter. Poor thing blames himself for his friend getting hurt. Anyways, see you in the next chapter, bye! ~Aurora
