I was breathing hard already. How long had these guys been chasing me? I couldn't feel my face or hands anymore, so I probably have frost bite. I had run all the way into the woods, which were covered in snow. Then, my luck ended as I came to a halt at the edge of a frozen lake. I looked frantically around, desperately looking for an escape, but too late.
"Whats the matter, can run anymore?" that sophomore's voice mocked at me from behind. I turned to face them, and man was I in for it. I mean, half of his buddies had given up on the chase, so there were less guys, but I couldn't take all of them on. I braced myself for the pain I knew was coming, and boy did it come...
I opened my eyes, and attempted to raise myself from the freezing ground. I couldn't feel my hands, and I was probably on the verge of hypothermia. I finally was able to sit up and look around. The sun was setting and there was a little blood on the snow where I was laying. I coughed a little, and tasted my own blood. I dragged myself over to lean against a tree and closed my eyes again. There really was no point in trying to go home, I was too beat up. I let out a sigh. This it, my life will end.
I was abruptly dragged out of my daze from a cold impact on the side of my head. I grumpily opened my eyes and looked for the culprit. My swollen eyes soon landed on a particular blurry image of a boy, about my age, partially hiding behind a tree. I gave the teen my best glare and grumbled: "What was that for?" The boy comes out from behind the tree and points at himself as if there was anyone else around. "Yeah, you." I said with slight irritation. "Wait, you can see me?" the boy said with a shocked look on his face. "Why wouldn't I see you?" now this was just ridiculous. What was with this guy? While I was deep in thought, the boy had made his way to my side and was looking at me. I turned my gaze to meet his and was captured in his eyes. They were like crystallized orbs of ice. My lavender eyes widened a little when I saw the playful joy of a child in them. My heart skipped a beat as I felt the hope return in it. That was why I lived in this world. That was why I always kept fighting. The happiness of those kids who didn't fear bullies.
I smiled at the boy and let out a small whisper before the world went black.
