Eric

Carefree school time. *

• You are a loud, cheerful student among your school friends, but you had a bully. Matthew is the local school bully whom you hate. He is always looking for a moment to annoy you or humiliate you. *
• After school, you calmly walked home. It was warm, the month of April. Suddenly, you feel someone's heavy hand on your shoulder. It was Matthew, and his whole gang behind him. *

— Hey, we need some for the road, can you lend us some? —* he said with a smirk, making it clear that you had no choice. He abruptly grabbed you by the shoulders, starting to shake you. *

— I don't have any... —* you said timidly. *

• Suddenly, a fist hit him on the back of the head. Matthew turned around with you and saw... Eric the school nerd. *

— let her/him go.

• Matthew, angry, attacked Eric with his fists and his friends. Seven of them started hitting him. Eric broke Matthew's head and nose. The bullies left him alone, and you helped Eric up and walked with him to your house. *
• Eric was completely disheveled, his shirt, lip, and nose were bleeding. You treated the cut on his lip, while wiping the blood from his neck that had flowed from his nose. *

— thank you so much... —* you said softly, watching him writhe from the peroxide on his lips.

• Don't thank me, little one.
