School was quiet. Almost too quiet. Opening my locker, I sighed when I saw a note in there. At first I thought it was maybe a piece of paper I left in there, but it wasn't.

As fat as the moon,
As ugly as slush,
I promise you'll see me soon,
I'll make you hush,
There's no stopping me,
You'll see.
See you soon, fat-so.
-Your lover, Greyson

How poetic.

I don't see why he tries so hard, day after day. I don't see why he feels the need to bully me either. I haven't done anything to him.

With a sigh, I stuffed the note to the bottom of my bag and slammed my locker shut. A scream almost came out of me when someone slammed my backpack to the ground causing everything inside to scatter across the hallways.

"Did you like my present, Adrien Lee?" The fucking idiot that I despise, Greyson Brown, said. "I made it especially for you."

"Leave me alone." I said rolling my eyes and reached down to start picking up my stuff, except the paper that had my homework, he was stepping on it. Looking back up at me him, I sighed. "What do you want."

Crouching down, he tapped on my nose. "Oh nothing! I just love seeing you like this, you're so pathetic."

"Oh wait, I think I've heard this insult before, don't you have a class to fail?"

"Don't you have a teachers ass to kiss?" He said pushing me to the floor and stood up. "See you later loser."

He doesn't usually give up so easy, he must be having a bad day. Or I really hit a nerve. Without a second more, I picked up all the pieces of paper on the floor and headed to my first class.

Sadly, because our school is so small, those in the advanced classes are all roomed together. And somehow, year after year, Greyson cheats his way up here. It's so annoying.

I looked over at him and saw him crumpling up the test that the teacher is passing back, he failed. Looks like there's only so much cheating can do with these type of test.

"See me after class." I heard Ms. Butch say to him. She came over to me and handed me my test. "As amazing as usual."

Once she was done, she stepped to the front of the classroom and pulled out her clipboard. "Ok, due to the ranging results with this last test, I will be pairing you guys up and together you will be doing a book report and a project. For those who failed, don't be mistaken, your test will still be going inside the grade book. However, this is a chance for you to raise your grades."

Pairs?! This is terrible. Looking around, there's an odd number of people in the classroom. Maybe that means I can work alone!

"And nobody will be working alone. Now when I call your name please move your seats to be seated with your new partner. This will be for the next three weeks and there'll be one group of three."

With a sigh, I put my head down and waited for my name to be called.

Slipping my phone into my pocket, I wondered if I was ever going to leave this place. In this small rural town, there's not much people here.

"Lee, you are with Brown and Santiago." Greyson and Ian?

"What?! Ma'am, can I please work alone?" I demanded standing up, she gasped at my outburst and shook her head. "Look, I am sorry for coming across as disrespectful, but if I'm with them, I'll end up doing all the work!"

Ian was a popular kid, football team and everything. He's also best friends with Greyson. Although he doesn't bully me, he lets Greyson run rapid!
