A/N: I'm glad you liked that! Hmm… I forgot what I was going to say for a second. Anyways, this is the nickname chapter, and Hunter is 8.
Hunter's POV:
~~~at age 8~~~
I was on my way to school with my best friend, Mark. He always calls me Bella because Mom and Dad gave me a bell to wear so they know where I am, and so I can ring it if I spot any monsters.
"Hey, Bella. Guess what my mom and dad got me last night?" Mark asked.
I thought for a minute. "I give up. What?"
"The Avengers action figures! I had been begging for those for so long, and I thought they'd never get them for me!"
I smiled. He got so excited over the simplest things. He always made me laugh.
"That's great Mark!" I said as I hugged him to congratulate him.
Soon, we arrived at school. Our teacher, Ms. Cole (A/N: my last name), was out today and we had a substitute, Me. Brooks. She was kind of, how do I put this, an interesting case, but she wasn't a monster. I could see that much.
"Okay kids! I'm going to call roll now so be quest and sit down!" Ms. Brooks yelled.
Okay, so she's bipolar, I thought. That's not a problem for me.
"Mark Ashington!"
"Here!"
She continued calling out names, and eventually got to Jared Zoringer. I liked his last name. It sounded funny, but he was sensitive about it.
"Okay, you're going to work in partners today, so I'm going to let you call out the name of your partner. Since Mark is first on the list, he gets to choose first. Go ahead," Ms. Brooks said.
"Bella will be my partner," He called.
Ms. Brooks looked confused. "There isn't a Bella in this class."
Mark smiled and explained, "Bella is my nickname for Hunter. She always wears this bell, so I call her Bella most of the time."
Ms. Brooks frowned. "Okay, but you have to call out her real name."
Mark rolled his eyes and said, "Fine. HUNTER is going to be my partner."
We had an odd number of people in our class, so there was one group of three. Frank Lee, Jared Zoringer, and Jeanne Thomas ended up working together. Poor Jeanne was the only girl in that group, and she was girly. Her partners were very… active.
"Okay Bella. What are we going to do for this paper? You do the odds and I do the evens? Or do we just do what we can and hope for the best?" Mark asked.
"I vote for the second option," I said.
~~ten problems later~~
"Hey Bella!" Someone called.
I turned to see Jared calling my nickname. "What is it Jared?"
"Do you have a pencil?"
I gave him the pencil. It went on like that the rest of the day. I would be working, then someone would say "Bella!" and make the sub mad. It was funny.
A/N: I am so sorry this is so late. I have had a BUSY BUSY BUSY week. Please review! Also, sorry it's short.
