Hello, I am trying out a story Idea I was thinking about for a while. Here is the first chapter.


Chapter 1

It was a regular day, a Monday if I recall.

I didn't know what pushed me over the edge. Whether it was Violet's insistence on calling me "worthless failure face", Linus's non caring attitude as he saw me being berated again, or Lucy's joining in on the tirade. I felt like I lost it.

If I had it in the first place was up for debate, but I knew that I lost it.

"You know what…" I said, standing from my chair from the lunch table.

"What Charlie? You finally admit you are only good for being on the bottom of everyone's shoe?" Violet, Patty, and Lucy looked at me degradingly.

"Maybe… maybe. I think I don't need to listen to this anymore. I am leaving." I said softly. I never liked fighting; it was only a last resort. I stood and looked at Violet in the eyes, "You know, maybe needing to push me down constantly may give you a type of trivial satisfaction. BUT I can say that at least I don't have a father who treats me like a DOLL!"

Everyone looked at me shocked, I didn't care. This was far overdue, for all her big talk and self-stroking of her own ego she was nothing but a mask with no person behind it. A cruel person though and though.

*SLAP*

Ow, that hurt.

She looked at me with fury, Patty and Lucy still looked at me shocked. Not that I would say it but that I DID say it.

They probably wondered: "Did the blockhead failure finally grow a backbone?"

Yes.

I did.

"YOU STUPID IDIOT, HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT!" Violet yelled, now everyone in the cafeteria was staring. Sigh, maybe I should have taken it on the cheek and not said anything.

Nah, it was too funny to see this.

I started chuckling.

Then laughing.

Then I went on to a full hysterical laughter.

Maybe all those years of abuse from my peers finally caught up to me. Maybe all the failures I have endured (with most of them not really being my fault) finally caught up to my own head.

"Really? A slap? From a comment like that?" I stood; I was still laughing. The others looked at me like I was insane. Was I about to pick a fight with someone who was so up the hierarchy like Violet?

Yes.

Yes, I was.

And I really could NOT give a crap anymore.

"I never knew YOU, Violet of all people, would be offended by little ole blockhead failure face Charlie Brown." I stared her down and she stared right back. I. Was. Done. I could not take it anymore. She tried to slap me one more, but I reacted and grabbed her hand.

"RAPE! He is trying to rape me!" She cried. EVREYONE knew it was a lie, but to fight with Grey was social suicide. Two security guards came up and immediately grappled with me. I didn't fight it. I knew this was coming.

"FUCK YOU YOU BLACK HAIRED BIMBO BITCH!" I yelled, then the security guard punched me. Excessive force of course. Typical. And I got knocked out.

SOMEONE ELSES POINT OF VIEW

I looked at Charlie being dragged away, poor Charlie. Sure, he had it rough, but this was bordering on insanity. Sigh, I wish I wasn't such a coward.

I looked at Violet, Patty, and Lucy. Patty and Violet looked at the dragged away Charlie with disgust. It was sort of a unwritten rule in the school that Charlie was at the bottom of the social ladder. I felt it was unfair, he had so many admirable qualities. Due to him being Charlie Brown though, it was ok to torment him.

Sigh… if only I spoke up…

RING RING RING!

The school bell, time for next class.

I thought back to elementary. He was so kind back then, and was always willing to go the extra mile to help people.

You have the qualities I admire.

He really does. He really really does.

Something changed though. Many didn't notice, but I did. The bullying became harsher, people started to both physically and mentally abuse him for all he had. It broke my heart every time he suffered. He in turn became more jaded. Closing himself off to everyone aside from Linus. I should have spoken up sooner but…

"Can't you believe that pathetic excuse of a boy talked to ME like that?!" Violet exclaimed. She was walking next to me with Patty to our history class. "I hope he gets detention and even more!" I felt anger rising but suppressed it. Violet, Patty, and I were the most popular girls in the school. Partly due to our looks, and partly due to our academics. I felt kind of ashamed of it though, it restricted me to be with these two. Sigh.

I hope Charlie is ok…
