Chapter Two: Subconscious Dreams Part 1 [{(Hope)}]

I couldn't come up with a better title so if you have a problem with it send me your suggestions. Max is a character I made up and he is supposed to be the cool guy in the school. I want nothing to do with him. Mrs. Lafferty was my fifth grade teacher. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He was running, running, but from what? He turned around and was greeted by punches and kicks. "Fight," a boy yelled to him ", fight unless you're scared!" Then the gang hit him again and again, but he wouldn't fight back.

"Damn it," Seto cried as he woke up from that nightmare. He had tried to forget those times that he was hit for being different, those horrible times that he was singled out for something. It had all started when he started going to public school. He was in fourth grade. He had started public school late in the year and so it was his first day.....

On the bus

Kids on the bus: Hey, there's a new kid coming on this bus!!

*Bus stops for Seto*
