Here I am in middle school, an 8th grader, With Edd, Matt, Tom, And Tord. I am indeed the shortest in the school, being at 4'6. Yes, Tord teased me alot.. But he's not much taller than me, he's 4'11, at least, that's what he told me. Yes, Tord was bullying me, but he was still my frenemy. " Milo! " He said with a heavy accent. " ..What, Tord? " I look him in the eyes as I'm walking with the gang. " Ha! Now I know why you don't have a boyfriend. " Edd jumps into the conversation. " Leave her be, Tord… You don't have a girlfriend, either.. " Tord narrows his eyes at Edd but then says: " Whatever, I don't need one. " Don't worry, I wasn't alone, Tom didn't like Tord either. They were enemies. Matt then stepped in. " Edd! What class are we going to again? " Matt was forgetful at times, but sometimes he could remember certain things, no conditions, just forgetfulness. Edd then looked at Matt and said, " Accelerated Math. " Matt then remembered. " Oh yeah! That's right! All of us.. Or.. " Edd then chuckled and said " Yes Matt, all of us. " Matt nodded and grabbed out his pocket mirror, checking himself in the mirror. He thought he was the most beautiful person in the group, well, besides me. Tord knew that, but didn't want to admit it.

We enter the class and now I look at my seat, facepalming. I had the worst seat, Yes, I had to be next to him.. Tord. I sat in my seat, I really wanted to raise my hand and ask the teacher if I could switch, but was too embarrassed to ask her. Tord grinned widely, he wanted to pull my chair back, but he couldn't, because we all had to stand up and say the Oath of Allegiance. Then we sat back down. Tord chuckled as the teacher was giving the lesson. He whispered. " Hey Milo… I bet no one likes you.. " Tord chuckled. He then pulled my chair back, and I fell head backwards. Everyone around me was laughing except Tom, Edd, And Matt. I clench my head, as it hurt. " Ow.. Shit.. " I said, getting up. Mrs Thompson, our teacher, said. " Are you okay, Milo? " She said. I nod my head and sit back on the chair. Tord then looks at Tom and starts to mess his hair up. " Hey Thomas! " Tom was annoyed. He then pushed Tord's hand away. " Quit it, Tord. " Mrs Thompson looks at Tord and then asks him a question. " Tord, what was it that I said? " Tord looked up and then scratched his head. " Erm.. I don't know miss. " I chuckled. " You don't know anything, Tord. " Edd and Matt laughed. Tom chuckled. " You got that right. " Tom said. Tord looked at me and looked tensed as hell, but I didn't mind it. Matt then raised his hand. " Can I use the restroom? " Mrs Thompson nodded. I think he was going to check himself out in the mirror as always, he was always narcissistic. So, we didn't care. Tord knew that class was gonna end, so he started to pack up. Everyone else around me was starting to pack up so I decided to go along with it. Edd walked over to me and picked me up. " C'mon, let's goooo! " I was confused and flustered and a bit embarrassed. " EDDIE- PUT ME DOWN! " I raised my voice a little. Edd chuckled. Yes, he's my very best friend. " Nah, I'm good. " Edd says as the bell rings and he carries me.

" Wait, where's Matt? " Edd looks around for him as he located the CTE class. " Right here! " Matt says, behind Edd. Tom is following behind, but a bit angry. Tord looks at me with an evil grin, like he's planning something. " Milo. " Tom says as he's walking. " Yes, Tom? " I look at him as were walking to the woodshop CTE class, the bell rings, and we made it on time. Tord sits at his assigned seat, and I'm assigned to sit by Tom. " So, Milo.. " Tom says, as he's sitting in his seat. I turn to face him as Edd is sitting across from

me and Tom, also Matt. Tord was assigned in the back, and everyone else is doing their own stuff.

" I heard that Mr Bonner is going to pick our teams. " Tom says as he doesn't want to be picked with Tord, or any other stupid person here. " Oh? Really? I hope I'm not with Tord… " Tom nods in agreement. " Class, settle down. And take out your project sketches, I will be pulling names today for the partners, remember: This is a group project and it's due on the 5th of December! " Mr Bonner says as he's now drawing the pieces of paper. " Milo, and.. " I cross my fingers, as I hope I'm not with... Tord. " And.. Tord! " Welp, my hopes and dreams are ruined. Mr. Bonner starts drawing more names, I feel lucky for Matt and Edd, But Tom.. Tom has to partner up with Paul. Paul was one of Tord's friends, he's like Tord, nothing better. I get up and walk into the woodshop room. When suddenly… Tord decided to push me! " Hey, Partner. " Tord chuckled. I facepalm, as I don't wanna be his goddamn partner. " Don't talk to me. " I say as I'm walking over to the cardboard. Our project was supposed to be for a Cardboard desk model for Mr. Bonner's new desk. I grab a big piece and some safety glasses. I also grab a box cutter, ruler, and a pencil. I started to make straight lines with the ruler, now cutting little pieces. I now think to myself... As I don't wanna do this... But I did it anyway. " …Tord. " I say. Tord looks at me and smirks. " Why.. the little girl is talking to me! " He chuckles. " Shut up... Just.. help me. " Tord looks at me and thinks about it for a sec. " Hmmm… How about. NO! Hah! " He laughs, I'm getting pretty annoyed. So I raise my hand. " Can I use the bathroom? " I say. Mr Bonner says " Sure " And start to walk to the bathroom. Suddenly, Tord raises his hand and says: " May I also use the bathroom? " Tord says. Mr Bonner nods at Tord and he starts to walk out. I notice him and try to walk to the bathroom quicker. But he eventually catches me and grabs my arm. I feel a shiver.. " … I'm gonna make you pay for humiliating me in math. " He said. He drags me to the janitor's closet... " Hey! Let me go! " I say. I try to pull off, but I get pushed inside of the closet. Tord closes the door behind him. And I get pinned to a wall. I start to sweat. " Milo.. " He says, his accent deeper. " I'm going to punish you…" Tord says as he fucking SLAPPED my cheek. " Ow! Tord stop! " I say as I push him away. He then grabs me by my shirt. " You better be lucky your a girl.. Or else Me and My boys are gonna have to beat you up.. How about this.. Meet me in the bathroom cafe in 4th period.. And we'll continue there. " I nod quickly, and he lets me go. " Good, let's go back.. Shall we..? " He drags be back to CTE. Edd was worried about me for a second till I came back. " Milo! " Edd runs over and hugs me, Matt and Tom follow him behind. " Milo, where were you? " Tom says, his suspicion coming towards Tord. " Oh, she was drinking at the water fountain when I saw her. " Tord lies to them, they nod. " Alright, I just wanna know if your safe, Milo. " Edd says as he's holding on my shoulder. Matt nods in agreement, still holding that mirror. " You're still vain as ever, Matt. " I say as I'm looking at him. " Well of course! I'm beautiful-! " Matt says, but he's interrupted by the bell. We all walk back to our math class. " Sigh, I hate that 3th period is Math. " Tom says as he's walking in the far left side. I'm always in the middle. Because I'm the shortest. " Sucks to suck guys! I have to go to choir practice right now. " I say as I giggle. Edd looks sad. " Awwwww… But whyyy? Can't you skip it? " I nod no. Tord looks at me and chuckles. " Awww. The little Milo knows how to sing.. " Tord crosses his arms. Matt looks at Tord " Tord! Be nice! " he says. They all walk to the Math class, Edd looks at me and frowns. " Bye, Milo.. See you at lunch! " I wave, and walk to the music room. Where I'm greeted by my teacher, Mrs Harris. " Please Milo, take a seat. " She says.

After class, I go to lunch. And sit down at the table with Edd, Matt, And Tom, I look around for Tord. " .. Where is Tord? " Edd sighs. " Over there with Paul and Patryk. " I facepalm. As I now look at Matt. " Matt? Can you get me a tray? I want pizza. " Matt nods, and I walk towards the bathroom.

Tord, Paul, And Patryk follow me. And once again, my arm is pulled. " Oh Milo… Did you think I forgot? " I nod no. " Oh Milo.. You ready for the punishment? " I look away and sigh shyly. " I-I guess… Get it over with.. " As this is heard, Paul walks over and grabs me and takes me to the stall and hangs me to the stalls hanger. Patryk and Tord chuckle as I'm left there, hanging.
I just want to go home already and get this madness over with. Glad it's may so it's almost the end of the summer…
