Ethan

Kian kicked my stomach, and Jake joined, laughed as I tried not to scream in agony. "Ow, stop !" I mumble. The bell rings. "Bye, nerd!" Tessa giggles. I stand up, to see Grayson. "You need to defend yourself! They are going to kill you! You should come work out with me after school." He says, patting my back. "Okay. Thanks Gray." I whisper." you also have to speak up. They won't be scared of you with that tone." Graysin looks at the clock on the wall. " I have to go." He walks away, and I sloekg push open the door. "You're late. Again, better not be next time Dolan. Or you get detention. " I nod, and sit down. "Okay, class. Today we'll be doing the test that takes up most of your grade." I breathe heavily, knowing she's passing the tests out from last year. "Ethan Dolan. You got the best test score!" Everybody clapoed but Tessa, Jake, JC and Kian. I Puff out my chest, feeling accomplished. I go up to the teacher, and she holds out the paper. "Good job." She whispers. She passed out the rest of the tests. "Time for the test!" She yells. I fix my glasses, and Somebody pats me. "Great job, Ethan." Its Melanie. "T-thank you." I say. She raises her hand. "Since the year just started, isn't it going to be easy for Ethan? He shouldn't do the test. Its kind of like making him re-do something he already knows!" She looks around the room. "I suppose. But you have to read." I nod. Tessa throws a pencil at me. "Nerd!" She yells. My glasses fall, shattering into bits abd peices. "Bitch! Hows he sopposef to get tgriygh the day now?" She helps me pick up the glass. "Give it to me. I don't want you to cut yourself." The teacher looks at us. "Go help Ethan, bring him to the nurse. "They'll call Hus mom." Shenids. " put your arm around me" she says. I out n arm around her neck. She walks me down to the nurse, and all i see are blobs of colors.
