Chapter 1
Bart P.O.V
I arrived at school with bruises around my neck and a black eye. "What the hell,Simpson!" cried Nelson. Nelson and Milhouse are now a couple. Milhouse tried to date me but he was more like a brother to me so it would be like...dateing Lisa! Just not right to someone who sees someone as a sibling. "He was pissed that I didn't get him a beer. I was busy chatting with ex-con." I said. Ex-con is a online pal on my facebook messenger. He seemed familiar so I friended him.
That and after Homer's abuse I sort of knowticed danger signs. This guy used to be dangerous but wasn't any more. He was trying to get better.
"Still chatting with your online Romeo huh?" chuckled Nelson. "Well I think your old man should get his own beer and let you!" Ex-con also knew about the abuse. I had told him. He used to be in prison but was let out due to 2 years of therapy and finishing his time in prison. "Oh! Did you hear. We have a new teacher. The last one quit because of that prank I did." Nelson said. He used a firecracker under desk and she left tired of us. In highschool it is different than it used to be in 4th grade. We looked at our papers to see who the new guy was and it read
"Mr Terwilliger". Well Lisa was dateing Cecil now. Last time I saw Cecil he got better and was in therapy. "I love your sister too much and don't want to lose her." he had told me.
I smiled having knowticed a lot of Bob's family got better. I volunteered as a tutor and tutored Gino who was now a 4th grader. I wasn't as stupid as I pretended. I only faked it so Homer wouldn't beat me. It was how I used to always stop Bob a lot dureing his murder sprees. But I had tutoring after school. "By the way how is that kid?" Nelson asked. "A fellow prankster now. Am so proud." I said smirking. Nelson chuckled. "Better than the past I guess." We entered the class room and took our seats. Then I saw that the teacher was Bob. A few students looked terrified but I looked him
over and knowticed he was attempting to get better and not kill anyone or steal this time. "We will be reading Edgar Allan Poe's work. If any of you are stupid enough to hand in fake essays I will just mark your papers with an F." he said. "We will also be doing essays on a story or poem of your choice and The Raven isn't the option. Know a lot of you will choose that." he said. I got started on my essay and added extra reasonings and logic to it and finished up and then handed it in. Soon the bell rang and it was time to head off. I packed my things and left. Homer would be pissed if I was late for any classes and he had to be called in.
-Later-
Bob P.O.V
It was some kind of meeting with the principle. "So what do you think of Bart, Bob?" the principle asked. "He did good in my class. Got an A on his essay. He's a smart kid and I heard he tutors my son." I said. I already knew Bart was smart, probably as smart as Lisa if not smarter however he hid that from a lot. I ended up chatting online as "Ex-Con" and saw a
"Bart-Man" and chuckled knowing who that one had to be and we ended up chatting and after awhile got to know him a bit more. "He's a bit more quiter than what I remember. Used to always prank people and get into trouble." I said. "Yeah. The kid changed a bit around middle school. His mother divorced his dad then and took his sisters. Bart started volunteering and stuff. Probably good for him." he said. I knew the quite smart kid thing was just anouther act though.
Cecil and I used to be abused by our father. It was how we ended up having to have therapy in the first place! "Has Bart ever considered therapy? He's been through quite a bit and it may help him." I said. The principle smiled.
"You may be onto something." he said. "But I don't think we should let his dad know. Last time I called Homer that man was cussing and swearing up a storm and scareing the shit out of students." he said. I silently agreed.
