THIRTEEN, pen15

3. First day

   "You shouldn't be here." An eighth grader said. Obviously referring to us.

   "Get out of here freaks. Who even are you?" Said some boy.

   "Shuji no, it's important. And her names June." Said Maya. I was confused on who this Shuji kid was.

   "Uhm there were these boys in our grade who were not kind to Maya." Anna said. She couldn't out that in a worser way I thought, looking at the boys who truly looked like they didn't give a fuck.

   "Look I need you to beat them up." Maya replied.

   "Why should I?" Shuji said, not giving in.

   "See? He's probably just going to call me ugis too!" Maya said as I felt all of the eighth graders look at us, genuinely concerned.

   "Did you just say ugis?" Asked Shuji. "Ugis is the worst thing you could be called. The list of ugis's past, they're all heinous dogs."

   "There's a list?" I asked.

   "Look I'm not going to beat up a seventh grader, but I can teach you some words." Said Shuji.

Fast Forward Lmao

   "You guys. You guys! After school, I'm going to bitch out Brandt and Dustin." Maya said, confidently.

   "She's gonna get her butt kicked." Some girl whispered.

  School ended and the fight was about to happen. I really didn't want to be involved with that so I stood on the outside of the circle with Sam as he was only one I slightly knew. As Maya and Anna were warming up, I slightly prayed that Maya wouldn't actually get her ass beat. But, we all just sat awkwardly for 5 minutes in straight silence while nothing was happening.

   "What's up?" Brandt said, getting pushed by Dustin to get closer.

   "Sup." Maya said pouncing. They just kept saying what's up to eachother while doing nothing. "You midget."

   "What are you doing?" Brandt asked confused.

   "Midget!"

   "Ok?"

   "You midget. Aardvark. You got an aardvark?"

   "Uhm I, I have a dog." Brandt said very awkwardly. I tried to help.

   "Maya, an aardvark dick, not the animal." I said.

   "You're a piece of shit." Anna said, helping Maya.

   "Yeah, you're a piece of shit." Maya said just repeating what Anna was saying.

   "Oh damn, you gonna take that?" Asked Dustin.

   "Midget piece of shit!" Maya exclaimed, slightly getting the crowd of 7th graders to start cheering. I couldn't stop myself from smiling. "Come on, come on fight!  You midget piece of shit! Yeah!" Maya exclaimed, cheering herself on.

   "You gonna take that?" Anna asked.

   "Yeah you gonna take that? You're a midget piece of shit and you got an aardvark dick, and that's why your dad died!" Maya said turning to Anna jumping proudly while the crowd went silent. I looked at everyone shocked.

   "Hey, Brandt. You okay?" Dustin asked softly. "Can't believe you'd bring up his dad."

   "What the fuck?" Alex said.

   "You can't help it if Dustin's a bitch." Anna said, trying to defend themselves.

   "Fuck you!" He replied. At that moment a car started honking.

   "Omg my mom. Go! Go!" Maya exclaimed. As they ran off, I looked at Sam and absolutely could not stop myself from laughing. Sam slowly looked at me slightly smiling while lightly pushing me. I wasn't laughing at Brandt's dead dad, I was laughing at how Maya said that was so happy. I heard my brother start honking at me to hurry. I quickly said bye to Sam and looked at Brandt, feeling bad. I looked at Sam one last time,

   "Bye Juney." He said as I nodded at him, rushing to my brothers car, completely ignoring the nickname.

   "Bitch, guess what happened today?" I exclaimed to my brother.
