A month now has passed since i have been in highschool and im in the routine of school, nothing has really changed, im still being bullied by all the other kids. One thing that is helping with the bullying is going to the lunch time art club that keeps me out of the way of all the bullies, and i get to do art which calms my nerves i suppose.
A new boy has moved into our registration group, his name is Erik and he doesn't talk to anybody, he just sits and Observes.
He has light brown hair and brown eyes, he wears big square lens glasses and hes also only just taller than me by a couple centimetres.
I tried to talk to him in class because he was sitting alone, i asked if he would like some help getting round school incase he would get lost. He just nodded and said thanks.
Registration finishes and me and Erik start walking to the first class of the day, science.
While we were walking to the science classroom i ask Erik where he was from, "london" Erik stutters quietly.
And just before i can say something in return a 2nd year walks past and knocks into me and i fall to the ground.
He shouts "watch where your going, maggot!" he coughs up a loogy and spits it on me.
Erik quickly helps me up and asks if im alright.
Me and Erik quickly scuttle off trying not to attract more attention to us, i run into the toilets to wipe the huge ogre spit off my jumper.
I quickly thank Erik for helping me up, he says "you're welcome" with more confidence than the last.
Erik then asks me if i would like to hang around after school, i say yes with no hesitation atall.
