bullies [DISCONTINUED]

- one -

     Apologies if I make any mistakes, as this is my first fanfiction ^^

     Monday morning. Tubbo sighed as he rolled out of bed, smacking the clock to turn off the alarm. He absolutely hated the incessant beep - beep - beep it made, as if it was taunting him. It didn't help that it made his heart beat out of control every week-day morning, waking up in a panic. Beeping was associated with the feeling of running out of time. Like a timer signifying the end of work or test time. Crap. He had a test today.

     He did alright in school. He got mostly A's and B's, excluding ELA or PE of course. But he was a gamer, so did they really matter? Oh. And the bullies...

     Tubbo shook his head, and kicked/pushed the covers off the end of his bed. He tried to keep his bed neat, keeping the covers smoothed nicely, and the edges even, of course, but he was already running a bit late as it was. He resorted to just pulling the sheets back over, and did a quick check to make sure the edges were somewhat neat, promising himself that he'll fix it later.

     Glancing over at the clock sitting on the bedside table, he flew over to the dresser to choose his outfit. Settling on a random Zelda-themed t-shirt and pair of jeans, he decided that he didn't have time for a shower this morning. To get to school on time, he had to get to the bus stop by 8:05, and it was already 7:45. It didn't help that his sleep schedule was so messed up, sometimes he only slept for four or five hours.

     Rushing down the stairs, he stopped in the kitchen to grab a yogurt, some coffee and the lunch box he had made the previous night. Preparing the lunches at night made getting ready in the mornings a whole lot less of a hassle, he had found. Stopping in the hallway to deposit the lunch box, some small boxes, and a few papers from yesterday in his bag, he grabbed the world history notes to try and squeeze in a little studying. Sitting down on the couch, making sure to be careful with his legs, he started to eat his yogurt and flipped to the right page.

     To be fair, he found the topic interesting, but studying sure stressed him out. As he reached over to the coffee table where he had put his drink, he accidentally leaned too far forward, and brushed against the metal clips of the schoolwork binder. Wincing slightly, he pulled back, coffee in hand, and glanced over to see his sibling giving him a confused look. Smiling back reassuringly, he returned to looking over the notes, until he ran out the door to catch the bus.

     After arriving at school, he stuffed his bag into the locker and sat down on a random bench. While waiting for class to begin, he let his eyes roam over the crowds of students. He shivered slightly and cursed. Of course he forgot a jacket. Just his luck. As if on cue, he looked up to see a group of a few older students making their way towards him. As they locked eyes, he quickly looked away, eyes darting around, to see if there was an escape. Even if there was somehow he could dart away before they caught up to him, he kinda stuck out. No real friends, and no one even looked his way.

     "Ay brat!" The leader of the pack called to him. Class was starting in about three minutes. Tubbo froze and sighed internally. They had planned it out so he didn't even have time to escape to the bathroom afterwards. This was going to be cutting it close.

     It was going to be a long week.

Hope you enjoyed :)

I'll try to post as often as I can, but no promises XD
