5. September 1982

Hawkins Middle School

Will groans in pain as he lands on the hard ground. "Come on ya little fag fight back!" Troy orders. Will starts to slowly push himself back up, but is stopped when Troy kicks him in the gut. "What is your problem?" Will asks. Troy scowls, "You," he says, "You are my problem."

"I have never done anything to you!"

"You never needed to, being a little queer is enough."

Troy feels a tap on his shoulder, he turns around and is kicked hard in the balls. "AHH!" He doubles over in pain. "Jane!" Will says in amazement. Jane pushes Troy to the ground and runs over to Will to make sure he's okay.

"You bitch!" Troy says getting up, "Just wait till the principal finds out about this."

"Oh yeah? And what are you gonna tell him?" Will asks, "That you got kicked in the balls by Jane Byers, an Autistic girl, what do you think the rest of school would think if they heard about that?"

Troy's eyes go wide in fear at the thought of his reputation being destroyed.

"Because that's exactly what will happen if you tell the principal or bully us again! Understood?"

"Yes."

"Now get out of here."

Troy walks away, still in pain. After he's gone, Will gets up and smiles at Jane, "Thanks, that was amazing."

Jane smiles, happy that she protected her brother, and finally got revenge on Troy.
