POV: Jake

"Good luck sweetie, have a great first day!" I wave at my mom as she drives off, leaving me to fend for myself in front of a new school.
I sigh, and head towards the entrance where other middle schoolers are piling in through the green puke colored double doors. I look down and shove my hands into my pockets as i rush inside, avoiding anyone's glance. Suddenly the wind gets knocked out of me from my left side, i fall to the ground. I hear a grunt and look up, a boy around my age with wavy brown hair, green eyes, and freckles scattered across his nose looks down at me.
"Oops, gotta watch where you're going dude." He gives me a mischievous smile and sticks his hand out for me to grab.
I blink in confusion. Wasn't he the one who bumped into me? I grab his hand and feel myself being pulled up before being shoved back down to the ground violently. Then, laughter, from all around me. I feel goosebumps begin to form on my body as i look around in embarrassment, the boy with the green eyes stands above me howling in laughter. I try to stand up and feel a foot against my waist, pushing me back to the ground. "I think you belong on the ground." He says menacingly.
My eyes fill with tears as the laughing boy winks at me before walking away. I bury my face in my arms as the people who were laughing around me disappear and head off to class. Once the coast is clear, i shakily stand up and wipe my tears. So this was how my life at this school was going to be, huh?

Lunch time:

I hold my tray nervously as i walk into the packed cafeteria. I can feel beads of sweat forming on my forehead and upper lip. Clutching the sides of my lunch tray, i find a solitary seat in a far corner of the cafeteria. I take it and keep my head down the entire time as i eat in silence and solitude.
A fist slams down onto my table, i look up in surprise and am met with those green eyes again. He smiles at me, it looks almost genuine, but i can see the darkness in his eyes. "Hey, you're the clumsy idiot from this morning." He says.
I scrunch my eyebrows in confusion, thinking again to myself, wasn't he the one who bumped into me? I stutter as i try to defend myself. "N-no, you're the one who-" my words are cut off as he takes a seat next to me. He looks at me in amusement before asking what my name is. I stay silent. He shoves my shoulder roughly causing me to whimper, i spit out my name pathetically.
"J-Jake!"
"Hmm, Jake? Cute. Wanna play together some time?" He eyes me expectantly.
My entire body is shaking in fear at this point, worrying that he's going to push me down or hit me again. I don't answer his question and avert my gaze down into my lap. He brings his face uncomfortably close to mine before repeating his question and adding a 'dumbass' at the end of it. I cover my ears and close my eyes as i ignore his aggressive questioning. I feel him get up before something wet and cold is poured onto my head. I gasp in shock as my eyes fly open.
He's pouring a carton of milk over my head. My eyes fill with tears and i cry out. "Stop!"
He laughs and throws the now empty carton at me before walking away, once again winking at me before doing so.
I end up having to go to the nurse and changing into a pair of stained jeans and an oversized T-shirt. I feel uncomfortable and sticky the entire day, i don't see the green eyed boy for the rest of it, thankfully. When i get home in a different pair of clothing my mom looks at me, pity in her eyes. "Not again, sweetie.."
I ignore her soft words and go straight to my bed room, locking my door. I stay there the rest of the night, under my bed covers as i sob silently.
