That's What I Am

Chapter 2: Geek Corner

Cody's POV:

Despite all that was so painful and humiliating in his life, Big G seemed to command respect.

No matter what, he maintained a certain nobility about him, at least in the eyes of those few sensitive enough to look.

I looked up and saw a guy spraying Big G with water to look like he wet himself. All the kids started laughing.

Unfortunately, I was not one of those few.

"Freak looks like he wet his pants." The kid with the water gun said and continued to spray his pants. Big G looked at me and I just stood there not helping him.

"Oh, my God!" The boy who sprayed his pants said laughing as he walked away.

"Everybody! Big G wet his pants!" The kid announced.

"I want a sandwich!" Sam yelled at Norman.

"Sam, look at me! If I ask my mom for an extra sandwich, she's gonna know something's up.She gives me two as it is." Norman said.

"Sandwich and candy bar." Sam said. Norman looked at him in disbelief.

"Candy bar? Candy bar! Are you nut? My mom won't give me a candy bar, no matter how many times you beat me up. Hello! My dad's a dentist, remember? Why don't you just cut off my arm and snack on that, Sam?" Norman said lifting his arm up.

"Go ahead! Cut it off!" Norman said. Sam turned him around and gave him a wedgie.

"What are you doing?" Norman asked. Then he yelled in pain. I continued to walk down the stairs.

"Please! Sam, easy! You've got to work with me here! This is counter-productive! I'll do your homework!" Norman said in pain.

"Hinkle does my homework. I'll take cash." Sam said.

"Okay! Okay!" Norman said and Sam finally stopped.

"Cash is not a problem! Cash will work. There you go." Norman said and handed Sam the money. Sam finally left. I walked downstairs and walked towards Norman.

"Hey, Nichol." Sam said.

"Hey, Sam." I said.

"I can't believe you paid him money." I said in disbelief.

"Oh, really? What part didn't you believe? The part where I handed him the money, or the part where he had my underwear around my neck?" Norman asked and started to walk away but I stopped him.

"Sam's all bluff. I mean, he's not actually gonna hurt you. Not like Ricky Brown." I said.

"Is that right? So, I guess you were sick that day Sam shoved my head into a toilet and broke my tooth." Norman said and walked away.

"Wait! Norman, hold on." I said walking after him.

I caught up to him.
