There was a knock on the door. They opened it to reveal Kathriene.

"Hi! Who's the new boy-and oh my god what the hell. What happened?" Kath started.

"Morris Delancey happened. We's figurin out what ta do. We can't tell on him because I might've hit him with Crutchie' crutch." Easton started.

"Nothing. We do nothing."

"Huh??? We gotta do somethin he beat up Easton." Jack reminded.

"He's a senior. He'll be gone soon." She thought for a moment. "If we collect enough data, he'd have to be in trouble.

"What-"

She got out an old style journal. "Easton, is it?"

"Yeah."

"How much would you say your injury hurts?"

"Da bloody lip, split knuckles, scraped knees, black eye, stomach? You hafta be more specific."

"Good answer. So, what's your story?"

"My life story, school story, Delancey fight story #1 or #2?"

"Wow, it's worse than I thought. Just tell your story."

"Ok. So my parents don't really pay attention ta me and dis is da first year I ever had friends. But dey're tha best already. So one day I's was walking through da hall an Morris tripped on me so den he pushed an I kicked 'im in tha shins. Today, he blocked da hall and den-" He waved his hand down his face. "Dis. But I may or may not've hit him in da ribs..."

"Well, that's a lot. Anybody else?"

"They keep stealin ma eyepatch." Blink piped up.

"He trips me a lot," Crutchie added.

"They've both chased me all the way to Brooklyn." Race started.

"They stole my glasses." Specs piped in.

Morris felt like he was being talked about. He knew they were in the art room. He listened in.

"I think it's cuz he don't have friends." Race thought aloud. "Seein us would make him angry cuz we's everythin he ain't. Everyone knows we's the closest group in da woild."

"You're right! That must be it." Mush confirmed.

"I thinks Oscar ain't as bad. He don't hurt people fa no reason." Spot pointed out. "He still bullies us, but he don't just attack. I wese act'lly bein annoyin, the he will."

"Yeah he ain't as bad." Davey agreed. "Still a bully but with less of a temper."

"Let's play Uno!" Easton suggested.

-later-

"I AM GOING TO MURDER ALL OF YOU" Easton screeched.

"NOT IF I KILL MYSELF FIRST!" Jack countered.

"SPECS, I HATE YOU WITH ALL OF MY BEING!" Spot yelled.

"THAT ISNT VERY MUCH SHORTSTACK!"

Spot raised his hand, threatening to slap him.

"ROMEO I WILL THROW YOU OUT THE WINDOW DONT TEST ME!" Albert screamed.

"IM A BAD BITCH YOU CANT KILL ME!"

"BLINK DO YOU WANT TO BE BLIND IN YOUR OTHER EYE TOO!?"

"TAKE ME ON MOTHERF*CKER!"

"DONT YOU DARE HURT MY BOYF!" Mush yelled.

"I SHIP IT!" Easton squacked.

"I WILL SHIP YOU IN A BOX TO JAPAN YOU LITTLE-"

"I WANT TO DIIIIIIIIE"
