Dan's POV

Mummy always said that I had to stay near the house when I'm outside playing so she can see me through the kitchen window. It's not fair though. I want to go down the path to the field and play, but I never can.

So instead I picked up a stick lying on the path and dragged it along the fence while it made a scrapping noise as I dragged it along. I didn't really have any friends to play with, the boys around the block didn't like me very much. I don't know why. I tried playing with them one time but they called me Posh boy and told me to go away. Except there was a new kid around the neighbourhood, I haven't see this person but apparently according to my mum it was a little girl the same age as me.

I threw my stick aside and I started re an-acting my favourite episode of Pokemon.

"Go get em Pikachu, use thunderbolt!" I giggled, "No charzard! Hit them with a-"

I felt a WACK across my head and I fell on the concrete floor, I looked up and saw the horrible boys around the block that didn't like me. I only knew the main boy, Connor. Mum always told me to stay away from him and his friends. So what do they want now?

"Daniel howell. Your such a loser! Talking to yourself you saddo!" Connor hissed at me as the other boys laughed.

"What do you want Connor!" I asked feeling scared. I tried not to show them but I was petrified on the inside.
"Can't understand you poshy boy!" He sneered at me.
"Maybe you should leave here, no one wants to be friends with a gay boy like you!" He jeered having an evil grin on his face. One of the boys, a blonde one butted in.

"Connor, maybe we should go now. We might get in trouble." He boy said sounding scared. "Shut up Alex! I'm not done with howell here!" He snapped at the boy who turned his head to the side.

Connor grabbed me by the collar as I whimpered hoping that mum or dad would come out and save me. Connor raised his fist at me and I shut my eyes tightly, "This is what you get for being a sad loner!" He hissed at me.

I wanted it to be over quickly and just go home away from these boys. I was wanting for the punch but I heard a voice.

"HEY GET AWAY FROM HIM!" A small voice yelled I opened my eyes to see a little girl run up and push Connor off me. She then stood in front of me and stared at the boys. "How dare you pick on someone who never did anything to you! You better leave him alone!" She said firmly, the boys laughed at her and Connor stood up facing her.

"Get lost girly, before you get hurt!" He had a vile smile on his face but the girl grabbed his hand harshly and twisted it as Connor yelped in pain. While the other boys stood there, shocked.

"You better leave him alone and if I see you near him again I'll chop off your penis and feed it to the crows!" She said pushing Connor into the group off boys as they ran off in shock.

I Laid on the ground in shock she turned around and knelt down by me and smiled.
"Are you okay?" She asked kindly she offered me a hand and I took it gently as she helped me up. "Those nasty bullies, picking on someone who's different. It's not fair!" She said folding her arms.

"Th-thank you. For helping me" I said shyly, she grinned at me.
"It's no problem!" She had curly red hair and a freckled face and gorgeous green eyes and a really nice smile.

"Anyway, I'm Rebecca but everybody calls me Becca." She held out her hand and giggled slightly, I smiled at shook it.

"I'm Daniel, but everyone calls me Dan." I said, "Nice to meet you Dan, not many people had been nice since I got here but your the kindest person I met!" She jumped excitedly. I laughed.
