 I was called to the office because I was in a fight. Yeah I know its not me at all to get into trouble, but I've been bullied for so long now.  They always called me names, always had something to say. They went too far this time.

Way too far.

 "Oliver!" Chad called across the hall. 'Oh, god.' Tucker bit his finger nails in terror.

I sighed.

"Yea, Chad."

There he was in my face.

'Run away, Oliver'

Slam!

I was pushed into a locker.

"How are ya, momma's little angel."

His breath reeked.

"Get lost, Chad."

"I am gonna hit you like your dad hit your mother!"

Bam.

He hit me.

'I am gonna hit you like your dad hit your mother!' 

It played over and over again. Anger struck me as I grabbed a hold of Chad's throat."What did you say?!".

"I.I" He gasped.

Bam.

This time I hit him. Over. And over.

"Never, EVER mention my Mother or Father again!"

"O-okay, Oliver, okay."

Slam!

Now it was him against the locker. "Piece of shit!" I. . .I cussed. I never cussed, ever. It just slipped out.

"Oliver!" It was my teacher, Miss. Prayt.

There I sat in the office with my black eye.

"Oliver. ." The principal called. I shakily got up and walked over to the principal who has given me many rewards in the past for honor roll, perfect attendance and so forth.

"Sit," he commanded as he shut the door behind him. I did so. He sighed and sat across from me."What happened out there, Oliver? This isn't like you."

I crumbled. I told him everything through heavy sobbing. 

"You're not in trouble, son. I will, however, I will send you home for the day. Not because you are in trouble but because you are a wreck and I think you need to go home and rest. I will also put you in counseling Tuesdays and Thursdays during study hall. Chad, however is suspended and has detention for two weeks. Now, call your mother, son."

I did so.

"Oh, Oliver honey. I will be there a.s.a.p. Meet me by the back doors."

Slam

I ran into. . Jack. I automatically picked up my fallen books. He helped.

"Running late as usual?" I asked.

"Slept in. What about you?"  

"Got called down to the principal's office." 

"Probably to give you some sort of award." 

'Go with it,' Tucker nervously stated. 

I slightly turned my head away from him, trying to hide my black eye."Well, I'll see you around. Go on and get to class before you get detention. Again." I said trying my best not to act suspicious. 

"Okay, see ya around."  Was all he said as he jogged away.

I then walked to the back doors and waited for Mother.
