TW's this chapter:
-Bullying

At the end of the hallway, I fell down against the wall and slid down. I hid my face in my knees and started crying.

'Dude, you go to a therapist. Wow he stutters, interesting. Why do you have to bully him because he stutters? It's difficult for him, not for you,' I heard Clay screaming. I suddenly heard the door smash behind him and he ran towards me. I hid my face even more. I didn't want him to see me crying.

'Are you okay, George? Are you crying?'

I slowly looked up. 'S-s-sorry.'

'For what?'

'A-annoying you a-all.'

'You didn't annoy me. I like your voice.'

'You're j-just saying that.'

He grabbed my hand and rubbed it with his thumb. I felt so comfortable.

'I'm not. Calm down, George. He always bullies, he is just annoying and a dick.'

I smiled. 'Thanks.'

'Do you want talk to me about coding? I like coding too.'

'Really? I code plugins for Minecraft.' I was shocked. I didn't stutter once. He noticed it too and smiled.

'I have too! I just mess around sometimes. Oohh, we can code together one time.'

I smiled and blushed a little. He was very enthusiastic. 'We c-c-.'

I felt his thumb rubbing my hand again.

'We could.'

'Why did you move here?'

I concentrated on his hand in mine and started talking. 'My dad h-had a better opportunity for w-work here.'

'Oh, I understand. Do you like it here?'

'I don't know. E-everything is so different.'

'Really?'

'The school is w-way bigger and just everything is w-way bigger. I live in O-Orlando, but it's just a d-different world.'

'I live in Orlando too. People from everywhere come to this school. Some even have to travel 1 or 2 hours to get here. It's popular I guess. I only have to travel about ten minutes.'

'Me too.'

'Do you take the bus?'

'Eh- my m-mum brought me.'

He smiled. 'Cool.'

'Childish, I know. I w-was so scared.'

'Aww.'

'And I got lost.'

'We can go to school together tomorrow and I'll guide you?'

'Where do you live? It doesn't matter a-actually. I have no idea where it would be if you told me.'

'Where do you live is a better question?'

I explained shortly where I lived and he smiled. 'I live like two streets next to you. We can take the bus together.'

'Sure.'

'You're a nice guy.'

'No one seems to think like that. I'm only the boy known for stuttering.'

'You didn't stutter once.'

I felt so confused. I have always stuttered and he just calmed me down for some reason.
