It was a few weeks after you moved in, and you had by now gotten pretty used to everything. You had met Todd and Ash, and you walked to and from school with Sal and Larry every day. Another person you had met, was Travis Phelps. The school bully. Although he was constantly targeting you and your friends, you couldn't help but feel kind of bad for him. It was obvious that he had some shit going on at home. If only he had a better way of dealing with it.
One such instance of Travis being kind of a dick was on a chilly October morning, when Sal, Larry, and you were walking to school.
You guys were just talking and stuff, when suddenly you hear somebody yell from behind you. You all looked back, and were not surprised to see Travis.
"Hey f*ggots," Travis said to them with a mischievous grin.
"What do you want, Travis?" Sal asked.
"Oh, nothing. Just checking out the freak show."
"It's too early in the morning for this shit." You said as you continued to walk.
"Not so fast," Travis sneered as he yanked the back of your shirt, causing you too fall to the ground.
"Dude, what the fuck?" Larry yelled at Travis as Sal helped you up.
Travis seemed taken aback by Larry's increase in volume, but only for a second.
"I'm just doing what's bound to happen eventually. With their crack addict of a mother, who knows?"
That was it for you. You yelled at Travis, "You don't know a single fucking thing about my mom, or the rest of my family for that matter! See, you think you know everything, but you don't even have a clue. Travis, you are such a shitty person to everybody! Here's an idea, maybe take that stick out of your FUCKING ASS and make some friends for once!"
Travis was stunned, but quickly walked away.
"You good, Y/N?" Sal asked.
"I'm fine."
You weren't really that fine. You were fucking pissed. You were pissed that he threw you to the ground, but that's not what made you go off on him. It was when he brought in the part about your mom. Your mom did do drugs, but not crack. And she would never be physically abusive, even when she's shit-faced.
-- time skip --
You were not looking forward to Science. That was the one class that you had with Travis. You felt a little bad about telling him off earlier, but he did kind of deserve it.
You sat down in your seat right before the second bell rang. Your teacher started talking about a project and how you would need partners. You looked over at Ash, and she looked at you. But then your teacher said "And now, thanks to Ash and Y/N, I will be assigning partners." Everybody groaned. Your teacher was always doing petty stuff like that.
Your teacher began assigning partners, but when he said "Travis and Y/N." your heart sank. Travis glared at you from across the room, and you sighed. "This is going to be a long couple of weeks..." You muttered to yourself.
