“Watch it you fat loser” I was shoved into the locker in the hallway. It’s the final year of high school, after this, university, if I can get into an international University, I can leave this shit life behind.

“You’re the one that was in my way!” I shouted out to the group of boys that pushed me, I had acquired a rather dirty mouth on me.

“What did you just say” The leader of the group turned around and glared at me, I wasn’t going to be pushed around!

“You heard me! You’re the one in my way” I pushed the boy into the locker, the rest of his group started shoving and punching me. Ah, my daily ass kicking, I had been receiving these for the past six years, you’d think my bones would have toughened up by now, right.

“Hold him up!” The leader pushed off the locker and gave me a hard punch into the gut

“Arg” I fell down, I had the wind taken out of me and was gasping for air.

“That would have hurt, I think that’s enough Touga” One of the other boys tried to calm the leader down

“This waste of space needs to know whose the boss around here!” Touga gave me a hard stomp to my back

*Stomp Stomp Stomp

“Touga! Thats enough!” The rest of the boys grabbed Touga and pushed him away from me, I had received a couple of kicks to the head and had split the skin.

*Spe

“Yeah, I guess you’re right, lets get going” Touga spat out the built up salvia at me and walked off with his group.

“The same, the same thing everyday! And you, all of you! You just stand there and act like nothing is happening! You don’t even try and get help! You’re all worthless pieces of shit!” I managed to pull myself up by grabbing the lockers, I saw the rest of the students looking on, some even had their phones out recording my ass getting kicked. I stumbled to the boys bathroom and wiped the blood off of my face and tried to dust the dirt off my white button up school shirt.

*Ding Ding

“Great the lunch time bell, I’m going to be late again” I grabbed my backpack and started to slowly walk to my classroom, by the time I got there it had already been 15 minutes of class time

“Mr Kubo! Why are you late again” The teacher yelled at me, he was a very strict teacher, he didn’t care what you had to do to make it to class or even get a high score on a test, you could cheat all he cared, as long as you did well it reflected back on him being a good teacher

“I was getting beat up in the hall way and these low life’s didn’t do anything” I pointed to the rest of my class, I saw Touga and his crew giggling in the back, damn it!

“How many times do I have to explain to you Mr Kubo, you are not to blame others on your problems, they are yours alone” The normal answer, he always told me it was my fault, never once did he mention to other teachers or the principal that I was turning up to class with cuts and bruises all over my body, they were probably like him, they wouldn’t care.

“Just sit down and don’t annoy anyone” The teacher pointed to an empty seat, damn it! It was next to Touga and his crew

“What are you waiting for, hurry” The teacher waved his hand getting inpatient. I reluctantly sat down and tried to ignore the others

“Oi fatty, don’t break the chair” Touga teased me, the rest of his crew seemed to find that hilarious.

“I can see the chair sinking”

“I’m surprised it can hold such a fat ass” The rest of his crew laughed and joined in

“Don’t look at my ass, what are you? Attracted to me?” I gave my own comeback, the rest of the students seemed to hear it and giggled

“Why are you looking at his ass Touga” The rest of the boys now targeted Touga making fun off him

“I wasn’t! What the hell! I’ll get you back for this” Touga told me raged

“Boys! What is going on back there” The teacher shouted out seeing the class giggle

“Nothing Sir” Touga replied back, he was such a suck up, lets change that

“Touga was checking out my ass and told me I was thick” …

“Huh!?” Touga shouted out, the rest of the class burst out into laughter including the boys from Touga’s crew

“I didn’t say that! You lying fat shit!” Touga was now more enraged then before

*Bang

“Mr Kubo! Get out of my class this instance!” The teacher slammed his book down on his bench and aggressively pointed to the door

“Yeah, yeah, I’m going, don’t look at my ass while I walk out Touga” I gave one last sly comment and left the room, I turned back to see the class laughing except Touga, his brown eyes were twitching and he clenched his pencil that hard it snapped.

“There he is!” It was after school, I spent the last period out on the bench studying game programming.

“Get him!” Touga and his crew found me and started to chase me

“Damn it!” I knew this was going to happen, I should have just went home.

“You can escape fatty!” One of the boys shouted out, I wasn’t fast at all, of course they were going to catch me. If I can make it into the school building I might be able to find a teacher and just follow them until they leave me alone

“His going into the Club Building!” It was after school surly there had to be some clubs going on at the moment with teacher supervision

“Got him!” One of the boys pushed me into the wall stopping me from running

“You’ll pay for making fun of me back there” Touga cracked his knuckles and punched me in the gut again

“Get him Touga” The rest of his crew seemed to edge him on, what the hell!

“Bring him in here” Touga opened the door to the Home-ec room and turned one of the kettles on

“Touga?” One of the other boys said

“Don’t worry, I’m only going to toy with him” Touga replied. He shoved my head in the sink while the other boys held my body still, he grabbed the boiling kettle and waved it over my head, some of the water was dripping out and scorching my skin, damn it! This hurts!

“Whoa, close one, whoa, another close one” Touga was pretending to pour the water out and pulled up at the last second, he was laughing his ass off, so were the rest of his crew, did they seriously think this was funny!

“You pathetic freaks! Is this what gets you off! Torturing a single person, threatening them with boiling water! Are you all going to jerk each other off after this, you disgusting freaks!”

“What was that” Touga’s laugh immediately stopped, he was now looking down at me with sinister eyes, what was with this boy.

“Touga, let it go”

“Yeah Touga, his just some worthless fat piece of shit”

“Don’t do it Touga” The rest of the boys had let me go and were now trying to talk Touga down, did he have an anger issue or something?

“Ow! Let me go!” Touga tightened his grip around my neck and was pushing me down with more force

“Touga, that’s enough”

“Let him go Touga” The rest of the boys seemed scared of Touga themselves now

“Let me go you fre…OW!!!”

“Touga!”

“What have you done!”

“Ow! Ow! Ow!” Touga poured the boiling water all over my head, the scorching water burnt my skin on impact, I could feel my hair getting scorched and could see bits of it falling into the sink

“Ow!!!” I had got out of Touga’s grip and was jumping up and down clenching my head, my hands got burnt just by touching my head

“Touga, lets get out of here”

“We’ve got to go” The boys grabbed Touga and ran out of the room, Touga was frozen solid, he looked like he didn’t realise what he had just done.

“Damn it!” I fell to my knees and then to my side, I was clenching at my head, this hurts so much! This pain! My head is burning! I could feel the freshly burnt skin, my fingers were sticking to the red flesh on my head causing the pain to sky rocket

“Is anyone in here? You shouldn’t be using the home-ec room without supervision” It sounded like a teacher had walked into the room, I didn’t know the voice though, it sounded like a girl

“Hello…Arrrr! Someone! Call an ambulance!” The teacher saw me on the ground, she must have seen my burnt scalp and was panicking

“Someone!” That was the last thing I heard, I woke up in the hospital with bandages all over my head, my hands were also bandaged up. I spent the rest of the year in and out of hospital treating my burns, the school had to pay for my medical bills and Touga and the rest of his crew were expelled but that was it, nothing really bad happened to them. My skin did heal with no scars, but my hair was burnt and grew grey hairs every now and then, the doctor said it had burnt my scalp and that is why my hair turned grey, or something like that. Besides from being physically healed, my mental state, it changed, I became scared of everything and anything, I didn’t talk back or make any comments about anything, I had finally been broken down and was now the pathetic loser everyone saw me as.
