MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE
Malcolm's whole body froze as he stared into Reese's fierce blood-shot eyes. Reese grinned evilly and pulled Malcolm from his hiding spot.
"Oh you're gonna get it now!" Reese said. He lifted Malcolm into the air. His feet dangled helplessly above the ground. Reese threw him into a bush and picked up a shovel. Malcolm gasped. He looked around desperately and found a garden gnome statue. Reese was standing right in front of Malcolm now. His shovel was raised above his head, ready to come down and thrash against Malcolm's body. Hurriedly Malcolm picked up the gnome and threw it at the shovel just as it was about to crush his leg. The shovel was almost flung out of Reese's hands. Malcolm quickly stood up.
"Look Reese, all I did was eat the last doughnut. That's it! You can get mom to buy you some more can't you!" Malcolm said trying to reason with Reese.
"Or I could just use YOUR money!" Reese dropped the shovel and rushed to the boys' room. Malcolm ran after him shouting "NO, NO!" Reese grabbed Malcolm's bag and rummaged though it.
"Wait Reese, I need that money to buy lunch tomorrow!" Malcolm tried to take his wallet off Reese but failed.
'Ha, ha!" Reese laughed as he disappeared out of the room. Malcolm sat on his bed feeling sorry for himself. Why was Reese extremly aggressive all of a sudden?
The next day at school Malcolm was having a drink at the water fountain when he saw Reese out of the corner of his eye. The new guy at their school was giving him a hard time. His name was Cliff, or so he said. He was big and muscly. Malcolm watched discreetly as Reese was givin a black eye. Once Cliff had gone malcolm ran over to Reese.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Does it look like I'm okay you little brat? Just leave me alone!" Reese walked off. Malcolm watched him go.
After school Malcolm found Reese in the bathroom. He had a knife in his hand and was cutting his wrists.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Malcolm yelled. Reese leapt to his feet and covered malcolm's mouth with his hand.
"If you know what's good for you, you wouldn't tell anyone, now get outta here!" Reese whispered. Malcolm was shoved out the door.
Later that night, just as Malcolm was getting ready for bed he spotted something under Reese's pillow. He pulled it out. It was a bag filled with tablets. Malcolm realised what they were. Reese was on drugs. Malcolm carefully put the bag back where he found it when he heard Reese's footsteps nearing the room. Without warning Dewey flung into the room and jumped under the blankets of his bed. Then Reese entered the room. He growled and muttered soemthing under his breath. Malcom watched him.
"What are YOU looking at, dork?" He said angrily. "Malcolm turned away and got into bed. He tried to close his eyes and nod off but sleep wouldn't come. He kept thinking about Reese. Then, at about 2am Malcolm heard Reese get out of bed and tip-toe out of the room. Curiously, Malcolm got out of bed and followed him into the backyard. Reese had tied a rope to a tree. Malcolm gasped as Reese took the rope and slipped it around his neck...
