My Bully

He punched me in the side and I lost my balance and tumbled to the ground, landing on my back with a painful thud. The sharp ache shot through my body and I couldn't help but let out a groan of discomfort.As I sat there, the group of boys surrounded me, jeering and laughing. Suddenly, one of them kicked me hard in the shin. I winced in pain, certain it was going to leave a nasty bruise. But that was just the beginning. Another boy kicked me in the arm and shoulders, while the others attacked my back. I felt the blows raining down on me, helpless and outnumbered.It was horrible but I've gotten used to the pain. I've been attacked several times over the last week and lately it's been getting worse. Sometimes, I would just pass out from exhaustion or faint, and honestly, I don't mind it. At least when I'm unconscious, I don't have to worry about what's happening to me. But I know I can't keep living like this, and I need to find a way to feel better.The boys kept on kicking with all t

Steve pov:I sauntered down the hallway, a smirk playing on my lips. I had him right where I wanted him. Jeremy thought he could mess with the king Steve, but he was wrong. Dead wrong. I was the king, and I was about to teach him a lesson he'd never forget. Once the video was out, he'd be the laughingstock of the entire school. Even his so-called friend wouldn't be able to save him from the humiliation.I had meticulously edited the video, blurring my face and disposing of the jacket I had been wearing in the footage. I uploaded it to the school group and casually slipped my phone back into my pocket.As I sat in class, my mind wandered back to the intimate moment I shared with Jeremy. It was a twisted attempt to humiliate him, but I couldn't deny the strange feelings that bubbled inside me. I had never felt that way with any girl before. It was always a onetime thing for me, but with Jeremy, I wanted more. I craved more. "But that couldn't be right, could it? I'm attracted to boys?"

Jeremy pov:Steve left the moment I confessed to him. My confession took him aback, which is not surprising. Did he expect me to pine for him while he didn't reciprocate my feelings?A nurse barged in to replace my saline bottle and gave me a friendly smile. "Your parents have been informed and they'll be here soon," she saidI simply nodded, not in the mood to converse.I felt weak, not because of any physical exertion, but because I was mentally exhausted. I slowly drifted off to sleep. ...Whispers surrounded me as I slowly opened my eyes, and there they were, my parents. My heart fluttered at the sight of them, for it had been a year and a half since we had last met. "Mom?" I whispered, my voice hoarse."My son, how are you feeling? Are you in pain?" She hugged me tightly."I'm fine, Mom. It was a major accident." I replied.But then, my father spoke up, "How can you be so careless? What if this news gets out? Have you no thought of our reputation?" His tone was laced with irri

Jeremy pov: As Steve dragged me towards the unused classrooms, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The classroom had been abandoned for years due to a fire. I shuddered as Steve turned to face me with a cold, unyielding stare. "If he kills me, no one would hear my screams." I thought to myself. I couldn't ignore the sense of fear that crept up on me as we stood there in the eerie silence. "I'm sorry, Jer," he said, and I couldn't help but be shocked by his words. "What do you mean?" I asked, completely taken aback. "I'm sorry for the way Luca and my other friends treated you," he continued. "It wasn't right." I couldn't help but roll my eyes at his words. "It's not like you were any better, Steve," I retorted. "You were the one who started it all. Those nicknames? Yeah, that was all you. So why are you apologizing now? It's a litt

Jeremy pov: *Next day* It's gym class today and I'm feeling a mix of emotions. I used to dread coming here because of Steve. But Oliver is in the class, things are a little better. Steve's bullying used to be the worst part of my day, but now it's the bickering between Steve and Oliver. Even though I've tried to give Steve a second chance, I still can't stand him. It's hard to forget what he did to me, and the bullies still tease and make fun of me about the video. But I don't let it get me down for too long. I feel sad about it, sure, but I don't want to dwell on it and let it control my life. The coach's announcement startled me, pulling me out of my thoughts. "Today we're doing a relay race! Get ready and check your partner in the book," he yelled.  I rushed to the book and started flipping through its pages, hoping and praying that I wouldn't be pair
