At the school that Six went to, she was the quietest student there. The reason she was so quiet was because she didn't have any friends. She was raised in an orphanage where some of the kids picked on her because she didn't look very pretty. She covered her eyes with her hair and put on a yellow raincoat as a result of the insults.

One day when she was walking to Spanish Class, she was confronted by some bullies who regularly picked on her with pranks and verbal insults. She didn't pay much attention to those insults until today. A female bully knocked all of the books out of Six's hands. She didn't pay much attention and just casually tried to pick up the books. 

Then a male bully decided to take things a little too far. He grabbed Six's feet while the female bully grabbed Six's hands. They tied her up with rope and gagged her with a blue cloth wrapped around her mouth. Six started screaming as loud as she could while gagged. The startled bullies then carried her and were going to the boy's gym room.

That was when Seven heard Six screaming. He was outside of the classroom because he needed to use the bathroom. While on his way, he heard Six screaming and decided to investigate. He took his phone and walked quickly while recording some trouble. He made it to the gym room and saw something crazy: the female bully was filling the tub with water while the male bully held on Six tightly. 

"Let's do this whole school a favor by drowning this bitch." They grabbed Six and were about to put her face first in the water when Seven popped up from behind the door and said, "Checkmate."

"The hell are you doing here?" The male bully taunted. "There is nothing for you."

"What are you doing to her?" Seven asked with a hint of anger in his voice.

"Why do you want to know?" The female bully scoffed. 

"It's because I got everything on my phone," Seven replied. "It's funny isn't it?"

"What is?" The male bully asked.

"Because I have the upper hand," Seven smirked. "The tables have turned. If you don't leave her alone, I will call the police and show them this video. You wouldn't want that to happen, right?"

The bullies both froze and stopped doing what they were doing and headed back to class. Seven took off the ropes and gag off of Six. 

"Are you ok?" Seven asked. Six was weeping, so she didn't answer. "Cry as much as you need to. I'll be there." After weeping for a long time, she finally answered.

"I'm fine," Six spoke. "My name is Six."

"Like the number?" Seven asked. Six nodded. "My name is Seven. And yes, like the number. Anyways, why were those bullies hurting you?"

"Because they thought I was ugly."

"In my eyes, looks are nothing. What I think matters the most are the personalities of the person. Please put your hair up. I'd like to see how you'd look like." Six was reluctant, but she put up her hair and revealed her face to Seven.

"Do you like my face?" Six meekly asked.

"Honestly, I don't care about your looks," Seven told Six. "All I care about in life is if someone is nice or not. And I bet you are a nice person."

"You really think so?" Six asked. Seven nodded. "Thank you so much." She hugged Seven and they walked back to Spanish class.

"Why were you gone all class?" The teacher asked. 

"Sorry I was gone all of class," Seven apologized, "but I need to show you something." Seven showed the teacher the video he took of the bullies hurting Six.

"This needs to be issued immediately," The teacher said urgently. "I'll call down the principal." The teacher called the principal, Seven showed the same video he showed the teacher and the bullies were sent to juvenile hall. Poetic justice, eh?
