Too far gone

Thank goodness for nurses

--- Gregory's POV ---

"Johhhnnyyyy!!" I yelled and tackled my friend to the ground. He gasped and dropped all his books, "Ghost!! What are you doing!?!"
"Hugging you, silly!"
"Yes, obviously. But why??"
"Because I missed you, Johnny!"
"... Ghost, its only been two days since you've seen me last.."
"I know!! That's too long!!" He sighed then chuckled lightly. I helped him get his books off the ground and we walked to his class. By now, all of the kids and teachers knew that I was in the same body as Jimmy. Which was good in some ways, but really bad in others. And it didn't help that Johnny was the most hated kid in school.

"Hey there, your highness. Want me to help you carry your books??" one of the school bullies walked over and snatched half of Toast's books from him. "Give those back!!" Johnny reached foe his books but the bully only held them away. I watched, teying to wake up Jimmy who decided to take a nap. He usually helps but... "What's wrong, Brit?! Worried we'll ruin your book?!" The boy laughed and another bully joined in, "Don't worry, we won't! And even of we did, I bet the teachers would give you a brand new one, huh?!" "Give them back!!" He reached for them again, only to have two more boys join in on the fun. None f the school bullies would pass up a chance to pick on Toast. The boys grabbed his other books and ran away in opposite directions. "Leave him alone!!" I screamed at them and they only laughed. "Shut it, squirt."

They tossed one of Toasts books at me. "Make yourself useful and hide that thing." the one boy told me. I gasped again. They want me to bully my friend?! Who do they think they are!? I looked at the book, just staring at it. Now, another bully joined, pinning Toast's arms behind his back, making sure he didn't move. The one boy came over and pushed me back. "I said hide it, squirt." I grew angry and growled, lookng up at the boy. "NO!!" I used all of my strength and swung the book at him, slamming it into his head. I looked at the boy and cringed. He was on the ground, out cold. Huh.. all thay 'training' Jimmy has been doing is paying off. I looked up at the other bullies then glared at them, raising Johnny's book, threatening to hit them too. They looked at each other and laughed, looking back to me. The boy dropped Toast and they all walked over to me. I was terrified but I stood my ground, holding the book in a ready-to-use position.'Wake up, Jimmy, please, wake up...!'

When they got close enough, I swung the book again, hoping to hit someone. Sadly, I missed and the boys grabbed the book from me, throwing it away from us. I went to run but one boy grabbed my shoulder and spun me around, punching me in the face. I yelped and fell back, looking up at my attacker. It was the boy I knocked out a minute ago. The biggest bully in school, and I managed to make him mad. This isn't going to be pretty...

The bully ordered his friends to pull me up and hold me. The other boys looked at each other, unsure if they wanted to do this to a 'kid'. The bully yelled, threatening to hurt them too if they didn't listen. They eventually listened and pulled me up. Naturally, I tried to pull away, only to find that my strenght had faded. The boy punched me again, causing me to yelp yet again. He went to punch me again but ended up being punched himself. Toast had gotten up and punched the bully. He glared at the other boys with a very scary expression. He was ticked. I don't think think I've ever seen him get angry before. He's usually so calm... the boys dropped me and ran, followed by the bully who was now holding his nose.

Toast shook his hand and wipped it off on his vest then helped me up. I just stared at him, as did everyone else who was watching. Johnny took me to the nurse's office and explained what happened then left for class. I hadn't noticed until he left, but there was blood on his vest. Right where he wipped it after he punched at boy. And the boy was holding his nose... I wonder... the door opened and I looked up, instantly shrinking back into my seat. It was the bully. The one Johnny hit. He was followed by a teacher. The teacher left the boy here and walked off, leaving the nurse to tend to him. He has a bloody nose and refused to let go of it. Once the nurse finally moves his hands, she gasped. Heh. Johnny hit him so hard, he broke the boy's nose. Remind me never to make him mad.
