The Ugly Duckling MAGCON BOY, Nash Grier, Hayes Grier, Matthew Espinosa

Chapter 1: How it Began

Leslie POV

I wake up to another day in the hell place they call school. I am barely in 4th grade and already have depression issues. I see a therapist every Thursday. I only have one friend and his name is Hayes. We have been friends since kinder. He is nice and caring unlike his brother, Nash Grier. Nash and his group of friends bully me in a daily basis. They call me names and once in a while physically hurt me since the verbal part isn't enough I guess. I grab my glasses and head to the bathroom to clean my braces and teeth. I clean my face and then I change into the school uniform which today consists on a kaki dress and blue polo shirt. I wear my black chucks with tights. I wear the tights because I don't cut but I do scratch myself till I bleed or it hurts so there some scratches there right now. I go downstairs and grab my backpack and head to school. My mom usually drops me off or my dad but neither are to be seen today. So I'm going on the bus today. I walk out and put my headphones on and plug my iPod to shuffle my songs. I turn my head and see The Grier's are heading to school too. Hayes waves and motions for me to go over there as I put my iPod away.

"hey Les, how are you today" Hayes asks.

See that's what I like about him different than the devil himself .

"Hey Hayes and great what about you" I say.

"good and your parents told my mom if you could ride with us today".

"sure if it isn't a much of a bother to your mom" I say looking towards Mrs. Grier.

"not at all right mom"

"not at all Leslie, after all your like family" Hayes' mom says.

"thanks Mrs. Grier" I say.

" well hop in the back with Hayes" Mrs. Grier says.

I get in the back and Hayes also does right after me. Once I get in I look up and see Nash looking through the rearview mirror and giving me a evil look. I tense up and he smirks in his success of threatening me yet again. So this is usually a daily basis thing. Me riding with Hayes or both in the bus or one of my parents driving all three of us. This also happens till fifth grade. Great. Not!

FAST FOWARD TO 5th GRADE

So you would think Nash is in another school now since he was in 5th grade last year. Well no because the school we go to has pre-K through 8th grade. Yay. I still get bullied but just recently they simmered a bit down. I wonder why but I'm scared this will get worst. So I do my daily routine but today I'm wearing a skirt with navy blue knee high socks to cover my scratches that I still do to myself and a white polo shirt and black chucks. I still have my glasses and braces which sucks big time. I still have a bit of acne. Just recently I also started using these training bras. My mom says they help cover my chest area that is starting to grow. I'm scared since I don't know what Hayes or Nash and his friends will think about it today. I am being driven by my mom today to school. I get to school and work immediately see Hayes get off Mrs. Grier's car. He heads towards my direction and at the corner of my eye I see Nash glaring towards me which is nothing new really. I shrug it off and me and Hayes head to school. So we are in "recess" right now best part of the day if you tell me. Hayes and I are just sitting on the swings. Then I see Nash and his friends heading this way. So Nash maybe cute but his bullying kills it.

"so what do we have hear the ugly duckling and her troll" Nash says.

His friends immediately start laughing. Well this is new he has never said anything to Hayes.

"Dude! What I do to you?" Hayes says.

"hang out with this deformed creature" Nash says.

"look Nash he's my only friend. Plus he's the only one that cares for me" I say.
