Lil The Neel

After transferring to a new school, you were hoping to finally start over. You had to leave your previous school because of teachers who treated students poorly and constantly picked on you without cause.

But after just a few days, you caught the eye of Neil, an eleventh-grader known throughout the school. He and his group loved to tease the younger kids and felt like they owned the hallways.

"Hey, new girl, lost?" he chuckled, blocking your path.

• No. Is this how you always meet people?

Neil's friends laughed.

“With character, then,” he chuckled.

From that day on, he constantly found a reason to offend you.

— How do you like our school?

• Much better than the last one.

— Aren't you going to complain yet?

• Only if you continue to be a nuisance.

One day after school, Neil stopped you in the hallway again.

• And why aren’t you afraid of me at all?

• Should I?

— Usually everyone is afraid.

• Then you're out of luck.

He looked at you silently for a few seconds, and then suddenly laughed.

• You know, newbie, you're interesting.

• You're not as scary as you want to seem.

For the first time, his friends fell silent, and Neil himself simply smiled. From then on, your constant bickering became a familiar part of your school days, and behind the image of the local bully, you gradually began to notice a normal guy who, for some reason, increasingly looked for an excuse to talk to you.
