Chapter 2

As I stare to the board I wonder if I am truly alive... is this a dream? or just a figment of my imagination? I ponder over the possibilities of each situation, if I am really dreaming am I in my bed? but sometimes we have to accept who we are and not how we are seen.

I sigh, looking down to see my lunchbox, there are times where leaving the cafeteria I would sneak out some apples to eat on my way home. I slightly kick my lunchbox out of curiosity, the lunchbox wavers a bit but did not fall, displeased I turn to stare the board. As I waited for class to end I remembered that I am supposed to pick up Stevan today since mother told me that she was going to work.

The bell rang it was time to leave I packed up my things and placed my chair over my desk then bolted thru the park, over to the big oak tree. I sat under the oak tree patiently waited for Stevan to arrive, few minutes later I heard commotion in the park.

I walked towards the park leaving my belongings behind then I saw it Stevan was going to fight a 4th grader named Jack, he was a new kid that was being bullied by Kevin, he tried to take advantage of those weaker than him, and Jack was his victim while, Stevan pretty much looked like a punny 1st grader weak and small, too bad he choose my brother. Kevin behind told Jack to fight, Jack was trembling as he walked towards my brother and murmured something then ended pushing my brother down but Stevan only staggered a bit as if not carrying, Jack then trew a dangly punch at my brother's face, my brother's face showed amusement for a few seconds but it turned to a mischievous grin, doging the punch Jack trew at him, Stevan moved towards Jack he tripped him backwards by sweaping his feet above the ground and as Jack fell, Stevan elbowed Jack to his stomach, making him crawl to a ball from the pain.

"In your dreams!" Stevan smiled victoriously while letting those words out, he then was going to kick him while Jack was at the ground, I trew a small peble to Stevan, he noticed then looked up halting in mid air

"Leave the child alone or you'll be walking home alone, I waited for you and you are going to take your sweet time beathing a coward?" I scoff sarcastically.

The eyes that where on the fight now where on me, Kevin was looking a bit shoked and Jack who was on the ground turned his head as with relief it was over.

Stevan's face changed and ran towards me a bit proud at his feat. After leaving the school 's perimeters "Did you know that the kid you beat up was being bullied right?" I asked while passing him an apple from my lunchbag and munching the apple I had on my hand.

"Yeah, I knew he was, I mean he even asked me if I could let myself get hit by him! Like what?! Then I noticed a boy behind him smiling. That is when I started to think that if I beat the lights from him then the other boy wont bother him! You tell me will teachers believe that a first grader beated up a fourth grader or another 4th grader beathed up another 4th grader? The teacher's will go to the most reasonable answer then they will ask why did it happened and suspend the kid behind! I am a genius!" Stevan was laughing from his plan almost choking with the chunk of the apple he swallowed.

"Did you not think that the kid behind will try to get revenge on you?" I ask seriously.

"Even if he did try, I have you to protect me!" Stevan looked at me eagerly "DO YOU THINK I'M YOUR PERSONAL BODYGUARD OR WHAT?!" I replied abit anoyed bonking his head with my fist. Moments later we start to laugh leaving the tension behind, we pass by the pecan tree and take some pecans that are on the floor watering the tree with the left of water in my water bottle and go on arriving home.
