The New Kid

Chapter 2

         "Tyler Posey." I said to myself. Wow, that's a perfect name. He's perfect. Haha, what am I thinking? I just met him! I am suddenly interrupted by the morning bell. I never noticed the people that surrounded me.

           The teacher Mr.Mugg walked in & introduced me to the class. After that embarrassing moment, he gave us an assignment & we began to work. We were allowed to work with partners, so I casually asked Tyler to work with me. He agreed.

          I was so happy. 15 minutes into class, I noticed something odd. Tyler flinched every time someone walked by him. All the boys in the back of the class made fun of him & threw paper balls at him. I couldn't help but wonder why.

            How could people be so cruel to someone who seemed so innocent. I was lost.

                                   ...

                   By the time class ended Tyler & I had finished our assignment. I had a free period, so I just roamed around the hall. I had finally figured out this school! I circled back around the halls, back to my locker. On my way back, I heard someone screaming & crying.

          I ran to the noise & saw the boys from my 1st period in a circle. They looked like they were all kicking & punching someone. My stomach literally dropped when I saw who it was... 

                 Tyler. His face was all bloody & I felt so horrible for him. Thankfully after a few more punches the boys left. I slowly walked over to him & knelt next to him.

               His eyes were red & puffy. "Are you ok?" The words squeaked out of my mouth.

               He desperately shook his head no.

           "Let me help you get up & we can go to the office."

             "Noo." He screamed. "They will hurt me even more if I tell!"

         "That's horrible Tyler!"

   "Do you think you could just take me home?"

       "Yes, that is fine!" I slowly helped him to his feet & put my arm around his waist as we walked to my car.

            So much for my first day I thought to myself.
