"Pfft, how are you so short??" said one of the big kids, laughing.

I wanna be ten feet tall

Bad was surrounded by some of the 6th graders. He was terrified. They always hurt him for being so 'small' and 'adorable'. He never understood why. He just wanted to play with his friends as everyone else did.

"I-I don't know.." he replied quietly. He was on the edge of crying by now.

I wanna grow big red horns

"You look like such a nerd with your glasses. Bet that you are one anyway," said a tall one. He went to Bad and ruffled the little boy's hair hardly, then got back to where he came from.

"Right?! I was thinking the same thing!" said another laughing.

Fingers covered in thorns

That was the point when Bad gave up on trying to hold back his tears. It just hurt him so badly, for no reason.

That pierce everything

"Awwh, look guys, now you made him cry!" said the big one sarcastically, looking at his mates. "You are such a crybaby, dude," he said looking back at Bad, rolling his eyes.

"I-I'm not!" Bad said tears falling down his cheek. He quickly put his hand on his mouth. He didn't mean to say that out loud.

"Yeah, sure, we'll see that," said the big kid getting closer to Bad to punch him.

I wanna be ten feet tall

Meanwhile Skeppy, he was playing hide and seek with his classmates. He was about to hide in the most obvious place when he saw his best friend, Bad being bullied. Again...

He sighed trying to keep calm himself which didn't really work. He made his way to the small group of people. When he got there, he suddenly kicked one of the kids that were the closest to him without any hesitation.

I wanna eat fire and snow

"Let's just stop here, thanks, bye," he said grabbing Bad's wrist and walking away with him.

They stopped at the opposite side of the schoolyard, right at the swings.

"Are you okay, Bad?" Skeppy asked after sitting down on one of the swings. He nodded to the other swing next to his, telling Bad to sit down too.

"Y-yeah..." he said sitting down on the other swing. "Thank you for helping.." he said looking at his friend with an insecure smile.

"No need to thanks. You are my best friend, and I won't let anyone hurt you!" he said smiling back. "By the way! Did you see how I kicked that kid?! He's probably dead by now!"

I wanna scare everyone...

[ ... ]

The sun was setting, hiding behind a few clouds turning them into a shade of pink and yellow. Leaves and flower petals flew around in the air. It was a beautiful spring evening. The two were sitting in Bad's room. They were talking about whatever came to their mind.

I want to collect swords, stab my walls when I'm bored

"Skeppy..." Bad started. The other just responded with an 'Mhm' saying he is listening.

"I-I don't want to be 'little' and 'adorable' anymore.."

"..Bad...." Skeppy sat up from his comfortable position looking at Bad with a worried expression, giving his friend all his attention.

Wear clothes made of old socks

"I want to be taller than everyone. Like a 10 feet tall giant or even bigger! And I-I want to have big, red horns like demons have! It sure will scare them off and then- then no one will mess with me, with us!" he said with a huge smile on his face, tears gathering in his eyes.

Which are missing their pairs

The blue boy was surprised. He didn't think his friend would say such things.

He smiled. He was happy for him for finally standing out for himself. So happy.

I wanna be ten feet tall, I wanna eat fire and snow

Bad was the most wholesome person he ever knew. Ever since they met, he always thought he deserved all the love in the world. But people were just mean to him. They hurt him for being the kindest person ever. It made him so angry every time.

"You are gonna be the scariest guy in the world, BadBoyHalo," he said.

I wanna scare everyone...

[ ... ]

"Hii Bad!!" said Skeppy looking up at his best friend.

Bad, hearing the small voice looked down at the ground. "Oh, hey Skeppy!" he said with a smile on his face. He crouched down to pick up his small, blue friend.

Climb over the circus walls, finally feel at home

He put his hands on the ground so the other could climb on it. When Skeppy finally made it into his hands, he stood up and carefully put the diamond boy on the top his head. Skeppy immediately ran to one of Bad's big, red horns to hold on. It was really high up for him, to be honest.

Cotton candy floss, haunted houses ghosts

"S-so, how are you doing, Bad?" asked the short one after a few minutes of trying to get used to the high.

"I'm doing pretty great, thank you!" the other said. "What should we do, by the way?" he asked while starting to walk slowly.

I wanna feed the ducks, I wanna eat some stones

"Hmm, I don't know. Let's just keep walking,"

Sink down to the bed, finally feel at home

"You are not even walking, Skeppy. You are just sitting on my head,"

Finally feel at home

"That doesn't matter!"

Bad giggled. "Sure," he said, then continued walking, to who knows where.

Finally feel at home...
