I forgot to mention this before the first publish but language warning to all you mostly innocent people. Ok, I will leave you be now, enjoy!
                        ~~~~~~~~
The bell rang for lunch and as usual, I was the first one to leave. I hated school. Nothing good ever happened there so I didn't have a reason to like it.
     Today I went through the same ritual as always for lunch. Go to my locker, grab my lunch, without getting spotted head to the bathroom, and lock a stall door. I tried to get away from the crowds as fast I could so no bully could-
     "Simon?" A voice squeaked out. Shit. "Can I join you?"
     "Sure," I opened the stall door and moved over, letting Josh sit on the floor beside me. I looked over at Josh and he looked at me. Then we both did something I hadn't done in a while. Laugh.
"How did you find me here?"
"Well uh... I... um... kinda, let's say, WATCH you when you come here for lunch."
"You watch... ME?"
"Yeah..."
"Why didn't you just talk to me? You look so lonely in the halls by yourself." Josh just laughed.
"It seems I'm not the only stalker here."
"Hey!" I shove him and he falls on the ground shaking with laughter. I start laughing and fall on top of him. He didn't seem to care.
~~~~~~~~~
After school was over, I went to my locker and grabbed my pack, slinging it over my shoulder, and started to walk down the halls. I felt someone following me, but I shrugged it off. I felt a pain in my head as someone slammed me into a locker.
"Where do you think you're going bitch boy?" Preston sneered, his hands gripping the shoulders of my shirt. I tried to wiggle away but his grip just tightened. "We're not done here."
As he finished his last sentence, he let one fistful of shirt go, keeping the other hand against the locker and balling up his free fist. Inches away from my face, the fist was blocked by another hand.
"If you lay one finger on him you're gonna be sorry mate."
"We'll see about that." I hadn't seen my rescuer, but I could pinpoint that voice from anywhere. Josh.
Preston's face became red with anger. He threw a punch at Josh, which was sidestepped with ease. Without warning, Rob came up behind Josh and was about to grab him. I took action.
"Not on my watch," I muttered and sprinted straight into Rob's side. Rob teetered off balance and I had the chance to back up against Josh. By now, the people who hadn't left yet had come to watch the 2 on 2 fist fight.
Rob regained his balance and lunged at me but I stopped him by grabbing his fist. I spun him around, pulling his arm up behind his back and pushing him against a locker.
I looked over my shoulder at the other 2 and Preston had Josh pushed up against the lockers. I pushed Rob down and the next thing I knew I was on Preston's back.
Now as a duo, I held Preston's arms while Josh slammed his fist into Preston's face. I jumped off his back and let him topple to the ground. The crowd cheered at us for defeating the school's biggest bullies. I smiled shyly.
"What in hells name do you think your doing?" The smile fades from my face as quickly as it appeared. "Principle's office. NOW."

Gawkskdnenjekdkdjeneieibedb, short chapter! Sorry for not updating for like 5,000 years, I thought I would have time but with everything going on, including the Breakfast Empire, I just haven't been able to do anything. I promise the next chapter is longer, I may even update again tonight if I finish typing it. Probably not cause it is 9 pages in my writing journal, but maybe. So yeah, have a great night/day, Peace!
