~Scotty's story~

(3rd grade year of 2007)
~Scotty's POV~
I was standing near my locker when out of the corner of my eye I spotted Mini and Vanoss, Vanoss was literally pushing Mini towards this kid named Tyler. I smiled and leaned my shoulder against the locker to watch. Tyler was too oblivious to notice the two friends argue and I watched as Mini finally agreed to walk up to Tyler and tap him on the shoulder. I watch as he gets flustered and about to back away when Tyler stops him. I raise an eyebrow and Mini seemed to finally spit out whatever he wanted to say to him. After Tyler gave his response and walked away, Mini jumped around overjoyed. I smiled happily and turned on my heels to walk away.
I closed my eyes and put my hands in my pockets. I walked towards outside of the school and spotted James grabbing a kid's collar and lifting him up. I sigh and walk towards him, "Hey dude." I say and he turns his head to look at me and drops the kid. He quickly runs away in fear and Scotty glared at him, "You seriously need to stop bullying James. You need to grow up." I scold, "Shut up man. I feel powerful when I belittle others!" He shouted happily. I roll my eyes, "Listen, you're going to hurt someone really bad sooner or later." James frowned and walked up to me, I'm a little taller than him so he had to look up to make eye contact, "Lookie here Mr. I'm-in-charge-of-James's-life, I don't care who I hurt, as long as I get to keep this power of mine!" I let a little hurt show in my eyes, "Even me? My mom?" He glared at me and nodded, "Whatever it takes." He backs away and I grit my teeth.
Before I could say anything too rash, the bell rings and I regain my composure. James walked away and I stride over to a bench and jump on it, I sit on the backrest and put my head in my hands. I rub my face and look up, I spot the four person group walk out of the school with everyone happy. You're probably wondering where Marcel came from right? Or how he joined? Well he was a new kid in mine and Nogla's class sometime last semester and Nogla being the social butterfly seven year old he is, he talked to Marcel and introduced him to his friends. Since Vanoss has this knack if finding good people to join his little group, he wanted Marcel to join.
That's basically what happened (no pun intended). I sigh and watch as they all stop at the gate. 'Guess they are waiting for Tyler.' I thought and I thought correct. Here comes the man of the hour. I watch as he greets them and they all start talking. It was all boring until a kid came running and crashed into Vanoss. I almost burst out laughing. I walked to the edge of the gate and walked along the wall away from the group of six. I peered over the wall and saw someone who looked somewhere in their twenties, running and calling out, to who I'm guessing, eye freak. I watch as the group huddles around him and I smirk as the idiotic man runs right past them. I jump over the wall and stop the running man, "Hello." I greeted him, "Uhh... Listen little kid I don't have time to speak." He said and tried running past me.
"Why?" I side-stepped in front of him, "Trying to find someone?" He looked at me with confusion, "How did you know?" I shrugged, "Lucky guess." He gets down on one knee to come level with me, "Look, this little boy is really important for me to find." I stare at his red, swollen eyes, "Have you been crying?" I ask. He looked taken back and shakes his head, "No need to worry about it little boy." The man replied.
I roll my eyes. He stands and started to walk off, "What if I know who you are looking for?" I ask. I hear his steps freeze and his heels crunch as he turns, "What?" I smirk and turn around, "What if I could help you find your kid?" The man stared at my eyes, "How are you able to help?" I smile, "Well, I saw a blue hooded masked guy run through here." The man's eyes widen, "Which way did he go!?" He asked desperate.
I think for a moment, 'This is going to be interesting.' I point behind him and he looks back, "I believe he went towards 5th street." The man looked at me and nodded, "Thank you. By the way, my name is Cartoonz, and the boy's name is Delirious." I nod, "My name is Four0." He smiled and ran away. I smiled, 'So... Delirious huh?' I look back at the group interrogating Delirious, 'Yeah, I see how that nickname could fit.' I chuckle to myself and start walking the way Cartoonz went. 'My work here, is done.'

I walked home and opened the door. I stepped in and was presented in front of my mom, "Scotty..." She said with a harmful tone, "Yeeeeees?" I drag out the 'e' sound, "Did you have a fight with James?" I but my lip, "No mom. Of course not." She crosses her arms and glares at me, "Scotty." She warned. I sigh in defeat, "Okay fine... Yeah we had a little disagreement, so what?" My eyes widened and I covered my mouth. 'That was too much attitude...' I scolded my brain. My mom didn't seem to notice though, "Look, I am extremely busy... So just go apologize to him? Okay?" I look away from her and nod. I heard a 'hmph' and then I received a kiss on the forehead. "Be good. I'll be back around 2." Her heels walked to the door behind me and opened the door, "Tomorrow or in the morning?" I ask. The clicking if her heels stop and I hear a sigh, "I'll see you at 2, Scotty." She said and closed the door.
It was my turn to sigh and I walked up the stairs to James's room.
Okay, now you are probably wondering what my mom is doing, well she is officially a club owner, actually has been one since james started living here, and goes there every night.
I knock on James's door.
It sometimes is frustrating because I did a little research on her club, apparently it's a stripper club and my mom is the 'best' one in the whole facility.
There was no answer, I knocked again.
I went even further with my research and actually searched up what a stripper is. Let's just say never click images when searching up something you don't know.
The door opened to reveal James glaring at me, "What's your problem?" I glare back. He rolls his eyes, "Look, I just wanted to apologize. My mom might not be back until 2 in the afternoon tomorrow. If you want me and you can make popcorn and watch a movie to get out minds out of our argument earlier." I suggest. James looked down at the ground then glared up at me, "Fine." He growled. I smiled, "That's the spirit!" I saw his glare intensify and he walked past me, 'What was that about?' I thought and walked downstairs with him to watch a movie.

Okay, so I don't really remember what is going on in this story, Scotty's story to be exact. I will come up with something better, this is the beginning of my 14 chapter streak! Whoo!
