The next day at school, there were the usual bullies. I had always been bullied, and by now, I was used to it. I was normally able to beat them back with some well-planned insults, but today, they had a friend.
I had always known that the new exchange student Cater was a computer genius, but I had never expected him to come to me.
"So, is this the puny Hyrum I keep hearing about? Huh, I thought his head would be larger based on what I've heard."
I couldn't really process what he had said, I was just wondering why.
"Uh, hi Carter. Can I help you?"
"I doubt not. I don't think you're quite smart enough to understand anything I'm doing."
I just stared at him, still wondering why he had come to annoy me of all people when Hannah came up behind me.
"Hey Hyrum, just wondering where you were..."
It was then that Hannah noticed Carter, and it had seemed that Carter had noticed her long before.
"Well, see you later Hyrum." And without another word, he left me and Hannah, with me still confused, and her the exact same.
"Um, who was that?"
"Carter. He's a foreign exchange student. Real good at computers apparently. He just came to tell me that apparently, I suck and that he understands way more than me."
"Well, then you should kick his butt! You know you could, right?"
"Ya, I know it's just... I'm still confused as to why he came to me in the first place."
"Probably feels threatened." After that remark, a notable spring was added to my step.
