"I never would have thought,"a large boy said, circling arounda smaller boy who was standing defiantly, "that a wimp like you could be a super. A wimp like you? It's just to much!" The larger boy began to laugh, and the students who had now crowded around the circle began to laugh with him.
"What are you talking about, Huey? I'm not a super. I'd love to be, but I'm just not!" the smaller boy protested. He didn't seem to be scared at all, even though the larger boy must have been three times his size. "What would give you that idea, anyway?" he said, uncomfortably.
"Him," the larger boy, Huey, said. He pointed towards a slim but tall boy with a striped baseball cap on, and when he saw he was being pointed at by Huey, the Long Known Bully of the Playground, the bubble he was blowing popped all over his face. He climbed on the bicycle he had next to him and sped away. The small "super" boy gawked. It's that kid! The kid in the driveway that Dad told me about! he thought. But he kept his mouth shut.
"I've never seen him before," he said, truthfully, and turned to walk away. He was abruptly cut off by Huey again. "Let me through, Huey."
"Hmm, I don't think so," replied Huey. "But Ihear that your family calls you Jack-Jack. Is that true, Jackey-boy?" Huey stared at him with an air of someone very superior. Jack-Jack rolled his eyes, and began to shrink. Huey began to say "What?" but it came out a bit like "Whaaaaaaah." By this time, Jack-Jack had shrunk to the size of a small dog, and quickly turned into one. His bloodred coat and spiked collar frightened Huey enough that he began to run away, and the rest of the playground children followed him. Jack-Jack chuckled in a dog-like way, and returned to his normal form.
He pushed his sandy-brown hair behind his ears and walked back towards the school just as the bell for the end of recess rang. He was smiling to himself. I sure showed him, Jack-Jack thought. And they were all kids. None of the adults would believe it if they said anything. He doubted that they would anyway.
