Bullied

Connor wasn't exactly popular at school. He didn't have any friends and everyone made fun of him for being a nerd and wearing 'geeky' glasses. It wasn't easy for Connor and every day he wished he didn't have to go to school. But now it was Friday, and he had two days without stress. He felt a tug on his shirt and he was pulled into the now abandoned sports field. And he saw Michael, David and Liam, the school 'populars'.

"Well look what we have here - little ConCon the teachers' pet," Liam said.

"Not a very cute pet," laughed Michael. "Who'd want that? Kill it now!"

"Please just let me go," Connor mumbled.

"What was that?" David said, cupping his ear. "Is ickle ConCon scared?"

"He should be," Liam said, and punched him in the nose. The other two joined in, kicking Connor until he fell over. They continued to hit him and when they got bored, they took his money and ran away. Connor just lyed there in the mud, pain all over his body. He slowly pulled himself up and dragged himself home. Connor spent all of the weekend in his room, terrified of even going near the window. All he had was music to help him relax.

It was Monday and Connor had spent most of the day avoiding the bullies. Nobody asked about the bruises covering his face and arms. There were bruises all over his body, but most were covered up by his clothes. But he couldn't escape at the end of school. He was first out of the class, even first out of school. But still he was too late. They grabbed him and had him on the floor in pain in seconds.

"What the hell are you doing?" a new voice said. Connor looked up, to see a boy with big brown eyes, looking at them in disbelief.

"Beating the weak nerd up! Joining in Brad?" said Michael.

"No. I'm cool, but I'm not a bully," Brad said, and helped Connor off the floor.

"I'll take you home."

Most of the journey was spent in awkward silence, until Brad noticed Connor was limping, wincing at every step he took.

"Jump on my back," he said and gave Connor a piggy-back home. He was surprisingly strong seen as he was the same height as Connor.

Connor hadn't being doing as well as he normally did in lessons. He was worrying: he wanted to thank Brad, but he was a popular! Connor would get beating up if he went near him. He made up his mind: he would. Before he could chicken out, he walked up to Brad.

"Erm... Thanks for yesterday..." Connor said, looking at the floor.

"No problem. Just tell me if they go near you again," Brad said, with an amazing smile. As soon as Brad left to join his friends, they walked over.

"Think you're so popular because Brad spoke to you?" said David.

"Got a little crush on Brad," Michael laughed. Oh no, Connor thought and knew he was blushing.

"Look - at his face! He does! Disgusting little freak," Liam said, and punched Connor's nose so hard it went numb. They continued for longer this time, Connor unable to get away. Brad ran over, dragging them off Connor and hitting them.

"We're doing you a favour Brad!" they shrieked. "He's got a crush on you." Brad paused for a second, but then just put his arm around Connor, helping him walk away.

"So you don't hate me," said Connor after a long silence. Brad didn't reply for a while, but then grabbed Connor's face, slowly and passionately kissing him. He pulled away, slowly biting Connor's lip.

"Does that answer your question?" Brad said, as Connor grabbed him and carried on what Brad had started.
