~Scotty's story~
(2nd Grade)

~Scotty's POV~
I walked around bored. I am technically supposed to be in class... But right now I am walking around the school aimlessly. James finally took up the karate lesson, so now he can defend himself.
I jumped on a bench out in the front of school and sat on the back of it. 'Hmm... Wonder how mom's doin...' I thought.
"Please!?" Scotty opened his eyes and spotted Vanoss and Craig begging Nogla again to join them, 'They are persistent. Wait... Isn't it class?' "Guys, seriously, stop following me, I'm going to get in trouble if I don't get back. And for you to follow me is really creepy." Nogla said, he walked away, "Aww..." Craig complained, "Don't worry. I know a way to get him to join." Vanoss reassured and they both walked away.
I smiled and hopped off the bench. I walked over to the side of the school and spotted James, fighting, again.
There was punch, kicks, and dodges, until finally, James's opponent fell. He rose his hands up in victory, "Yes!" "Hey James!" I called out and looked towards me with a smile, but he quickly made it disappear and turned it into a frown, "Oh... Uh... Hey Scotty. You didn't see that just now, right?" He asked.
I smiled and shook my head, "Good."

I ran to my house, alongside James. We reached thr front door and at the same time we both shouted, "WE'RE HOME!" There was a sudden stop of noise and my mom came out of the kitchen, "Oh! Boys! Great timing! Can you please help me with the cooking?" We both nodded and headed in.
We spent the next hour preparing, cleaning, and cooking. When it was finally done, my mom quickly grabbed her purse and ran out of the house. "How unnatural." I commented, "Yeah. Wonder what's up." James also commneted. We both shrugged it off for now.
We sat at the table quietly eating our food, when the front door opened, and my mom came inside. Exhausted. It has been a few hours since my mom left and so she shouldn't have been this tired. "Hi kids." She said heading upstairs, "Don't you want food?" I asked, she didn't answer and kept heading up. I slumped in my chair and stared at James. "What?" I asked, "Nothing." He replied and continued to eat.
----
"Haha! I won!" I shouted standing and doing a victory dance, "You cheated!" James shouted. "BOYS!" We both looked up the stairs and saw my mom, "Be quiet, I had a really tough day." "You were only gone a couple hours." I replied, "Yeah? And those couple hours kicked my ass. So shut up. Or go to sleep." We didn't reply and she went back to her room.
"Your mom's sort of a handful." I nodded. "But I love her." I replied smiling.
----
The next day was the same, and the next, and the next, it was the same continuing pattern everytime. I sighed as I went to go meet up with James who was next to the school, 'Lately James has been getting into fights. More than what he originally used to fight.' I watched as he finally beat down, some random kid. He smirked and waved at me, "James? Do you even know that kid?" I aksed, "Uhh..." He turned his head, "Yeah. This kid..." I saw him desperatly trying to come up with an excuse, "James..." I warned. He sighed, "Okay... Ever since I learned karate... I felt like I have this power. This ability to beat anyone and everyone." I frowned, "But larate is supposed to be used for protection, not to bully." He also frowned, "Well, what do you know about bullying? You never been bullied before! So how would you know what it felt like!?" He started to yell, "There's no need to yell." I said, "SHUT UP! You don't know how it feels to finally have the power to fight back against your enemies! You don't know how it is! You-" I covered his mouth, "Be quiet." He tried prying my hand off his mouth, "Listen to me. I am about to tell you the reason of why I took up karate, and I want you to tell me if I don't understand." He nodded, "It was for my mom." I released his mouth, "What?" "My mom. When I was one, she would bring home guys... That would... Hurt her... I watched it all." I kept eye contact with James, "And well... When I was finally able to walk, I wanted to do something that would protect my mom. So my friend offered karate classes. I took them, and I used them to protect my mom." I explained, "Well... Wait... You beat up guys 3x your size?" I nodded, "Wow..." "Had to. They were..." I trailed off. I saw James nod and place a hand on my shoulder. "I don't need anymore explanation. Can we just go home?" James asked. I nodded.
----
On our way home, I saw them. The three kids again. This time though, one of them ran into the street, in front of a truck. I stopped James and we both watched.
Vanoss stood there shocked with fear. I guess Craig too, because he didn't do anything. Nogla, just stood there. I was about to run, when somebody ran past us. 'Eye freak.' I thought and continued to watch the blue blur.
He rescued Vanoss, and at that point, James and I were headed home, joking about whatever.
'That was the eye freak right? I remember the kidergarten class he froze by accident. Of course I was invisible, because people never pay attention to me, so I wasn't frozen, but those were some loud screams...' I shook the memory out of my head and continued to joke around with James.
'I have more important things to worry about than Eyes. I have my own issues.' I thought.
'Hopefully I'll be able to solve them.'
