Can I Be Your Superman

Introductions

Recap:

As I heard Jenny softly call my name to gain my attention I shifted to look at her when I felt a heavy hand on my shoulder the look on both Jenny and Rose’s face let me know I was in deep s**t.

@--)--- @--)--- @--)---

Turning around I looked at the person who had rested their hand on my shoulder. ‘S**t I can’t believe I thought I was going to be able to run away from this.’ “Umm is there something I can help you with?” I spoke out loud in slight confusion.

“Hey loser did you really think you could get away with hurting Ian? Because if so you’re in for it.”  One of my usual guy tormentors said as he squeezed my shoulder pulling me up from my seat.

“Wait…but…”I sputtered. I watched in horror as someone handed something and he slammed the item onto my hair. I let out a little shriek then twisted out of his grip and began to pull the spaghetti noodles out of my hair.

“Yo Matt chill you didn’t need to do that to her it was just an accident.” came the velvety voice I had expected earlier.

“Dude, Ian was just teaching the nerd a lesson for messing with you.” As they went back and forth I saw Rose, out of the corner of my eye, grab a hand full of mash potatoes then launched them at the big meaty guy. After that a food fight slowly came to that filled the room with flying food screeches of terror and playfulness. Not wanting anymore food to accumulate in my hair I got down crawled to Rose and Jenny yanking them down, we crawled to an exit.

I went about my day like I didn’t clearly smell of spaghetti was hard. A lot of people laughed at me but that’s alright because no one physically did anything to me and that’s the best it gets for me.

After school while I was waiting for the bus some girls from my school came up to me. I knew what they wanted because this was a normal occurrence. “Hey Emi!” one of the girls spat the words at me.

“Yea, Hey Em why don’t you come with us we wanna talk to you.” Another girl sneered and grabbed my arm and dragged me to the side of the school building. A red head shoved me against the wall.

“Alright Waller cough it up.” She shoved her hand into my face. I reached into my pockets and pulled out all my money and putting it into her palm. The red head counted the money then shoved it into her pocket before grabbing me by the hair tightly. I gritted my teeth and she got into my face

“Next time bring more money, b**ch.” Before she threw me down and landed a good kick to my stomach. I looked up into their hateful eyes as they walked off cackling like witches.

I don’t know how long I laid there before I got up and limped home in the darkening afternoon. I lived a good distance away from the school and I’d be walking for at least 20 minutes before I was at home also my phone was sadly dead in my bag so no rides for me. I knew I should have charged it last night but I was just too lazy and now my mom was probably extremely worried. Walking out the gates of the school and through the park I used as a short cut, I heard some voices coming from forest like area, it wasn’t really a forest just had a good amount of trees to hide in. I just continued walking not caring enough to go over there and check it out. I bet it was just some drunks getting into an argument. As I strolled by the place the shouting sounded its loudest, two boys came tumbling out of bushes struggling against each other.

Unsure of what to do I slide behind the jungle gym equipment and watched them until I figured what to do. The two boys continued to fight throwing punches at each other from what I can see under the tall lamp’s light was they were both pretty beat up but the one with brown hair seemed to be winning and the black haired kid was about collapse.
