As he was spacing out thinking, a book flew at his face. It was Daniel, the leader of the "community of those rich people." He bullied everyone who interested him. Max, a weak-looking nerd with glasses, was his favorite target.
For Daniel and his gang, Max was a long-lasting punching bag. After being hit by the book, Max collapsed to the ground, and no one stood up for him, fearing they'd be next. Cedric helped him up.
"Hey nerd, did you finish my homework? And Why are you chit-chatting? You're disturbing my sleep," Daniel said.
"Well, here, I finished everything yesterday," Max replied.
"Oh... thanks, good boy."
As they spoke, all the students rushed to their seats. The class teacher, Michael Morris, a 42-year-old with a big belly and balding crown, entered the class. He knew about the bullying but didn't pay much attention. There was a rumor that he got his job through connections and bribery. After taking attendance, the class started.
During lunch time, Daniel asked, "Hey nerd, go and buy some lunch. We texted your phone."
"Alright, but the money...?"
"What money?"
"Well, I don't have money to buy lunch, so..."
"Oh, I forgot he's a poor bastard. Hey guys, somebody give this beggar some money."
"Well... dany what if that bastard is lying?"
"If he lies, he dies."
"Want to check?"
"Hehehe... let's check."
"Wait... don't..."
Then a punch landed in his stomach.
one of them noticed the money in his pocket
"Well, well, well... what do we have here? Daniel, did you see this?"
"So you lied to me, huh?"
Saying this, Daniel grabbed Max's hair and punched him in the face. Blood started to spill from his nose, and he collapsed on the floor, losing consciousness.
When he woke up, he was in the nurse's office.
"Did I faint after getting that hit"
It was almost evening, and classes had ended. As he got up to leave the school, he noticed Daniel and his gang waiting for him with grins on their faces.
"Yo... look who showed up. Did you have a nice rest, Mr. Nerd?"
"You've got the nerve to lie. Well..., since you paid for the lunch and other expenses, I'll forgive you."
After hearing this, Max checked his shirt for money, but it was gone.
"No... my money. Give that back, or else..."
"Or else what? Are you going to cry to your mama? Look, guys, baby's gonna cry."
"Hahahaha..."
"Please, don't do this to me... Daniel, please, that's... my..."
"Sigh... alright, since we're friends and in the same class, we should help each other, right guys?"
"Yeah... sure. Max is our precious punching bag... I mean brother. We should help each other."
"Since everyone agrees, let's do this. Max, let's play a game.
A sinister smile started to appear on their faces.
