Mr. Feeny left the classroom, going after Cory who just ran out. There was no sign of him in the hallway. He walked down and didn't see him. No sign of everyone, but then realized the bathrooms were nearby so he went inside the Boy's bathroom to see if Cory had run in there.

"Mr. Matthews?" Mr. Feeny called, but there was no answer. He looked down and could see that someone was in one of the stalls. "Mr. Matthews, come out." He said, but there was no reply and no movement.

"You can't just run out my class."

"I can't take it." Cory choked out. Mr. Feeny didn't know what he meant, however, he was interested.

"What?" He asked.

"I can't take it." Cory repeated. "They don't stop."

"Who doesn't stop?" Mr. Feeny asked, but then it dawned on him that he had a few students in there that liked to stir up more trouble than Cory; it was also a different kind of trouble.

"Harley, Frankie, and…" Cory said, he stopped at the second name because it pained him to the say the third. But Mr. Feeny knew there had to be someone else.

"And…?"

"S-Shawn." Cory choked out. Mr. Feeny found that hard to believe that Shawn was giving Cory a hard time. He could believe it from the other two boys, but not Shawn since Cory and Shawn were friends; he didn't think that was possible. "They won't leave me alone. I have no one and I don't know what to do."

"Well, you first need to come out." Mr. Feeny said and after multiple seconds. The stall was unlocked and Cory came out. "I'm going to have a talk with your family." He said. It wasn't exactly what Cory wanted, but he had no choice now and frankly he just wanted this all to stop.

Later he found himself, sitting with his parents and Morgan, along with Mr. Feeny. "So what's going on? Amy asked.

"What did Cory do, exactly?" Alan then asked.

"Cory didn't do anything." Mr. Feeny started by saying.

"Then why are we here?" Alan then questioned and then Shawn came into the room. And he sat down next to the Matthews. Cory didn't look happy to see Shawn, while Shawn looked worried; but nobody could quite put his facial expression into place.

"It has come to my attention that Mr. Hunter and a few other students have been bothering Mr. Matthews." Mr. Feeny starts off by saying.

"What do you mean?" Amy asked.

"Mr. Hunter, as you know we do have a zero tolerance policy, especially in the classroom." He said, looking at Shawn and nodded. "And why would you choose to engage in this sort of behavior?"

"I didn't—I don't want to. Cory's my best friend, but I didn't really have a choice." Shawn said and everyone in the room looked at him, even Cory. He didn't think Shawn still thought of him as a friend.

"Explain Mr. Hunter." Mr. Feeny said.

"Well, those guys threatened me. They said if I didn't do what I have been doing, they would do things much worse to Cory and me. They also threatened to get me expelled." Shawn admitted.

"You believed them?" Mr. Feeny questioned.

"I wasn't going to take that chance. And besides, they would do much worse things than they were already doing—I didn't know what to do." Cory understood and it sounded like the boy he had been friends with. And now that he thought about it, Shawn never really put a hand on Cory like the others did; he never tried to hurt him and he never really said anything; all he really did was watch.

"Let me get this straight, you've been harassing my son?" Alan questioned and Shawn looked scared. "And you didn't know what to do? You should have said something. You were his friend."

"Dad, it's okay." Cory said, he didn't want his dad to end up beating Shawn up.

"I'm sorry, Cory will you forgive me?" Shawn said, Cory could tell that Shawn was sorry and even though it was a hard, but he nodded. It wouldn't be exactly the same but decided that to make things right.

Both boys sighed in relief. They knew Mr. Feeny would take care of Frankie and Harley, so they could easily be friends. Cory was glad this was all over.

I sort of lost inspiration a little bit and didn't know where to take this because I didn't want to leave you guys without finishing this… so this is what happened.

This ended up being more between Cory/ Mr. Feeny… but I hope you guys still enjoyed it.

Thanks for reading!
