The next morning, Sam and Carl were downstairs eating breakfast before heading off to School, "Y'all should be leaving in a few minutes," Christine told them, looking at the clock that was hanging on wall.

Sam wasn't eating, he didn't feel hungry, so he just sat beside Carl, listening to him as Carl was talking about his dreams.

at a moment, Sam chuckled with him, looking at each other, "Mommy?" a small voice spoke, behind Christine.

Christine turned and looked at Cody, "what is it, sweetie?" She asked, "I don't feel well." Christine looked at the time again on the clock, "Yep, It's time for your medicine." She said, looking at Cody, picking him up and carrying him upstairs.

Carl watched Christine take Cody upstairs, he then turned to look at Sam, "what's the medicine for?" He asked, Sam looked back at him, "Cody has this condition illnes thing where he has seizures." Sam tried to explain, watching as Carl took his last two bites of his breakfast.

a few hours later, Sam and Carl were walking in the halls, in their school, Sam walked over to his locker and opened it, grabbing a few books he needed for his next class, he then zipped up his bag again and swung it over his shoulder, closing his locker door.

Sam began to walk after Carl, until Sam tripped and fell, he landed onto the floor, chin first, he looked up as he winced in pain a little, "Sam, are you okay?" Carl asked him, bending down in front of him, looking at him with worry, "I'm fine." He said as he looked at the boy who was behind Carl, seeing the dirty blonde boy smirk at him, as if he had tripped Sam, and as if Sam was his enemy.

"Sam, you're bleeding." Carl told him, Sam stood and wiped the blood of his chin, smearing it with his jacket sleeve, "I'm fine."

Sam went and grabbed his bag again off the floor, he swung it over his shoulder and began to walk off, until a person laughed, "oh Sam, looks like you dropped something!" Sam stopped in his tracks and turned around, seeing the boy who had tripped him, hold an stuffed animal that belonged to Sam.

Sam went over to the boy, "give it back."

"fine, here." Sam reached for the stuffed animal but the boy moved his hand away, "you really thought I would actually give it back?" The boy asked, beginning to laugh again, "what are you? fucking five years old?"

Sam just reached for the stuffed animal again, but the boy shoved him back, "you didn't answer me, five year old."

Sam looked at him, "Can I just have it back?"

"If you're a big baby." Sam shook his head again and turned around, walking away.

"oh what? You going to go cry to mommy and daddy?" Sam stopped and turned, looking at the boy, he walked toward him and just punched him across the face hard, "Sam!" Carl shouted at him.

the boy looked at Sam, grabbing his shirt and pushing him into the lockers, kicking his leg and punching his nose.

"guys! Stop!" a girl shouted for the two to stop fighting but they didn't, until Sam shoved the boy off of him, "Anderson! Blake!" A loud voice spoke, everyone turned and saw their principle, Mr. Tanner.

"you two come with me, right now. The rest of you get to your classes!" He told the students.

Sam and the boy walked over to Mr. Tanner, following him into his office.
