Chapter 9, Mikey Murphy.

Phil heard a scream, making him bolt around the corner. He soon noticed a boy holding someone against the lockers, a wicked smile on their face. "Freak." The boy harshly snarled, making the other wince.

"Excuse me?" Phil yelled, making the bully turn away from his victim. "Can I speak to you for a moment?"

"Can't you see I'm busy?" The boy snapped and Phil shrugged, gesturing to his camera.

"I want to take a photo of you." The boy released his grip on his victim, obviously interested in why Phil wanted a photo of him. The victim then shot off but not before making eye contact with Phil and making him realise that it was the boy that Phil wanted to take a photo of but he refused. Even more evidence that he was bullied.

"Why me?"

"I think you're beautiful." The bully smirked slightly, pressing his hand into Phil's shoulder and suddenly his back was touching the lockers.

"What are you? Another one of them? Howell must be infecting people." The bully harshly chuckled and Phil shook his head. Howell? Was that the boy?

"No I'm actually not, it's for a photography project."

"Oh yeah? Why should I believe you? For all I know you could be scrapbooking photos of your crushes." The bully's hand was getting dangerously close to Phil's neck but that didn't even make him think of giving up.

"Well we need to take photos of things we find beautiful. You're something I find beautiful. You may not believe you are yourself and that's why I'm taking photos of people."

"Sweet." Phil couldn't help but feel like he was being slightly sarcastic.

"Please? I'm sure a picture of your handsome face would give me an A."

"I'm sure it would." Obviously the guy couldn't tell that Phil was joking.

"Don't be tough. I'm literally calling you handsome. You owe me."

"Fine but only because you're going to need my face to up your shitty grade."

"Thanks?" Phil sounded unsure but once the bully had released his grip on him and stepped back, Phil was certain he wanted the photo. He lifted up his camera to his eye and snapped a photo of the bully whose smile was wonderful, too bad it wasn't seen enough.

"I'm Mikey by the way."

"Phil."

Do any of you watch Luke Korns and/or Mikey Murphy? If you don't, you really should. They're both awesome :)
