Can You reach the moon?

Chapter Five

I walked inside my house, empty as usual, mum and dad are still a t work while Lucy usually has play dates with her best friend, Yerin. I looked around the house, as if I have never lived here before. I suddenly got a text. It was from Teddy.

Yo he said. Look, there is no need of blaming Rachel because she missed you out on the studying thing. Geez...
I texted back.
Hey, what happened with the Teddy I know?
The Teddy you know has just changed. Supporting family relatives, not friends.
What do you mean?
What I mean is that Rachel came home saying that you are constantly bullying her because she studied by herself... Idiot...
Wait one second.... Did YOU just call me an idiot!?
Yes. In fact-I did. Is there a problem? Numb brain. You don't know anything compared to the perfect-minded Rachel Silliachico. Idiot-numb brain, slow witted, son of a piece of dung that has just been removed by a pile of toxic waste.

Now, I didn't know that Teddy decided to go to Rachel's side. He hated her. But he also hates bullying and is against it. He is pretty much a fair person. And he knows me pretty darn well. Why is he becoming against me-when he knows I'll not even hurt a fly? (I actually will. I'm pretty scared of 'em) But still. Ever since when did Teddy change?

The next day, Tuesday, arrived. I lazily got up from my bed, worrying about my problems, I didn't remember to study yesterday. And that was a fairly large problem. I put my glasses on and shuffled along to the dining area. To the table I found in front of me a large amount of pancakes, with maple syrup and a slice of butter on top. I poked the pile of pancakes with my fork, which eventually was covered in sweet, sticky, gooey maple syrup. I sighed.
"What's wrong?" Dad asked. Mum was busy reading Just Ladies while listening to the radio. I gulped. "Nothing. Just a bit-uh-sleepy" I did a fake yawn (I stretched my mouth as far as I could) and stretched my arms to make a Y shape.

I half finished breakfast and walked into my room, where I changed into my uniform.

I enter my high school, finding that Micah was talking to Rachel and both of them were taking selfies and posting it on Instagram. "So nice to have fun with my best girls!" Rachel cried. "Pos-" "Oh, don't forget the hashtags!!!" Micah squealed. I rolled my eyes at them.
In the corner, a group of boys were sitting under the shade of the large tree, some of them leaning their backs on the roots and most of them climbing up it to see if they could catch anything. I recognised one person for sure and a few others as well. My best friend, Roderick, Charles and Teddy were lying their backs on the tree branches, fiddling with the leaves and talking about something. I dropped my bag to join them. "Um... There are only three branches, loser". Charles replied.
"Oh..." I said back, I sad expression on my face, "I'll just get to class then..."
"Yeah! And learn your lesson about bullying you dumb head!" Teddy shouted.

Why, why, why? I didn't do anything! It must've been Rachel... She's up to something... I can definitely sense it.
