The Boy Who Couldn't Grow Up

Chapter eighteen: The Bathroom Incident

First period, Coach Spencer's science class, was always one of Alex's favorite classes. He loved the hands-on experiments and the way Coach Spencer made science fun and accessible.

As they were working on their latest project, Alex turned to Drake and whispered, "Hey, have you noticed anything weird about this school?"

Drake looked at him curiously. "What do you mean?"

Alex leaned in closer. "I don't know, it just feels like something's off. And I heard rumors that Jimmy's back and causing trouble."

Drake's eyes widened. "Yeah, I've heard that too. I don't want to get involved in any drama, but I'm worried about what might happen."

Just then, Jimmy walked into the classroom, a smirk on his face. "Hey, Coach! What's up?"

Coach Spencer looked up from his desk. "Ah, Jimmy! Good to see you're back. Just remember to behave yourself and follow the rules."

Jimmy nodded, but Alex could tell he was already plotting something.

As they left the classroom, Alex and Drake headed to the bathroom to grab some water. As they walked in, they saw Jimmy already there, looking smug.

"Hey, Jimmy," Alex said, trying to sound friendly.

But Jimmy just sneered. "Oh, look what we have here. The two biggest losers in school."

Drake stepped forward, trying to defend Alex. "Hey, leave him alone. He's just trying to make friends."

But Jimmy just laughed. "Oh, please. You're just as weak as he is."

Alex felt his face burning with embarrassment as Jimmy started taunting him. But before things could get out of hand, Jimmy suddenly stopped and grinned.

"Wait a minute...I've got an idea!"

He grabbed both of them by the arm and dragged them out of the bathroom, towards the front of the school.

As they walked outside, Alex felt a sense of dread wash over him. He knew what was coming.

Jimmy pulled out a pair of scissors and started cutting their clothes off at the waistline. Alex felt his heart sink as he realized what was happening.

Next thing he knew, they were being hung up by their underwear on the flag pole, right out front of the school.

Drake was wearing a pair of Ethika Boxer Briefs, which was normal for a boy his age. But Alex was wearing Paw Patrol Potty Training Undies, meant for babies.

As they stood there, feeling humiliated and embarrassed, Alex couldn't help but wonder what had just happened.

The rest of the day was a blur as Alex struggled to come to terms with what had happened. He knew that he would have to face Jimmy again tomorrow, and he didn't know if he could handle it.

And as he walked away from the school building, Alex couldn't help but wonder what tomorrow would bring.

But little did he know, this was only the beginning of his troubles with Jimmy...
