The Fun Nights

Introduction

He chased us into an alley. "Leave him alone!" Brian screamed. I watched dazed, as Brian got plowed down by the bully, Jacob. The bully picked me up by my shirt, I finally saw his repulsive face in all of its glory. I scowled at him. He gritted his teeth, I almost puked. They were dew yellow and there was still food between them. His breath reeked of...hazelnut coffee? I was interrupted from admiring his face when he threw me to the ground. "No!" My friend Avia screamed. She ran to my side and knelt down. I could see my crush Vivian standing as apart the circle the spectators made, she had her hand cupped over her mouth and a surprised expression shown in her eyes. Her same fair black hair was resting on her shoulders, like usual. Her eyes suddenly became glossy with tears. I had felt important again, I thought someone actually cared for me other than Brian and Avia. Then I realized that she was weeping, because her friend had just proposed to her, so that they could go to prom. I was shattered, I turned to my bully and felt a surge of energy, rage washed over me and before I knew it my fist was planted in the side of Jacob's face. I quickly jumped back and Jacob looked at me with disgust. I got in stance, Jacob ran right at me. I sidestepped, he ran into a brick building and a burst of laughter came from the crowd. He turned to me with his bloodshot eyes and a brooding expression.
"You should've given your laptop to me, and this never would've happened." Jacob grimaced.
"What do you mean? Oh, you getting your ass kicked never would've happened!" I taunted.
"I'm goin' to get my boys on you. Then you'll regret ever messin' with me." He said with a smug smile.
I began to walk away. "I'll probably just kick their teeth in!" I called from behind me. I picked up book bag that my laptop was in, and began to walk away with Brian and Avia. Vivian stopped me to say that what I did was awesome, I looked at her with a shameful expression, then walked away. Brian and Avia were silent, their faces were unreadable. We eventually split up and walked to our houses.

I came home. My parents didn't acknowledge me, they just stayed in their rooms. I plopped down onto my bed and thought. Why did Vivian just now acknowledge me, I've helped her do her math, I've bought her gifts for her birthday multiple times, and I even volunteered to replace her during a play so that she could go hang out with her friends. She was supposed to be a girl character. I had to wear a dress! I never got a thank you. I felt my eyes get heavy, eventually I fell asleep. No dreams, just peaceful sleep.
