"I've been dealing with these kinds of idiots since Kindergarden. A couple of "smart" 4th graders decided that I'd be fun to toss around on the Playground... and it went downhill from there." He paused for a moment to wipe some sweat from his forehead. "I actually got removed from public school back in the 6th grade, and was homeschooled right up until this year. Trust me, it's a good idea to know the best hiding spots." He looked around the room a little nervously. "Have they given up yet?" He asked Ridley, looking up at him as he looked out of the window. He exchanged a glance with him as he laid back to attempt to relax. "I've always tried to keep my head down, you know? Always tried to keep to myself, but this happened in Elementary school, and it's happening again now... I don't understand, do I have a target painted on my back?" He almost seemed to be rambling a little bit. "What went wrong in these idiot's lives that they have to beat the shit out of people who are different?" |

As he listened to Peter's story, he realized that his own life was very similar to his, aside from the home schooling part. Ridley hadn't known very many people with similar feelings about bullying ah him -- the word "bully" seemed to have lost it's effect over the years to the point that saying it made people laugh instead of worry. To find someone like this nearly brought a tear to his eye. "The thing is, I've played sports with these guys all my life. well, even. But they just keep coming. Some of them go to different schools, some of them transfer in, but they all just keep coming. It's apparently the 'in' thing nowadays to pick on guys who're smaller and smarter than them. But really, I think that they're just angry at themselves for not being as smart. It's not always a family thing that does it." He stretched forward and touched his toes before he took his arms and stretched them over his head, which sent a few good cracks down his bones. "I actually managed to beat the shit out of another one of 'em last month, not one of these guys." |

He nodded and listened to Ridely, shuddering a little as he heard his joints cracking. "Yeah, you're right, it seems like it's just the thing to do now... And I have to say congratulations on being able to beat the shit out of one of them. Hopefully it did something to help you, at least in the short term." He shook his head yet again. He looked down the hall again, enjoying the quiet, and relaxing atmosphere. "I've always had this thing... I've never been able to actually bring myself to strike another person, even with the little Karate I have done. It's not that I don't know how... it's that something in the back of my head goes 'Don't do it!'. And I just can't seem to figure out why." Peter yawned and stretched himself out. "Hey, at least it's almost summer. We won't have to deal with it for another 3 months when we finally finish up finals." He smiled at the thought. |

A sense of pride rose up within Ridley for a few seconds, but let it die down to listen to Peter's troubles with fighting. Not being able to hit even those guys was something that he couldn't exactly wrap his head around. Not that it wasn't something that he had to deal with during his first fight, though. "When you hit someone," he smiled at what he was saying for a moment, "When you hit someone, your thought process just basically has to be: 'Fuck everything, I'm hitting this guy!' You know? It's hard to get this mindset, but sparring with other people at the studio can do that to ya. But even then, we have padding." "As for summer... yeah, that'll be pretty good for my health... maybe not my house's health, but yeah. A few eggings won't tear the thing down." |

Peter just nodded at Ridely as he talked about getting into the mindset to be bale to hit them. He knew that using the little he'd learned would help... but the fact that he had never struck someone... it was kind of something he almost felt like he didn't want to lose. He mentally shrugged. "Oh well, I'm sure I'll get over it in time." He smiled at Ridely's remark about his houses health. "Well, when summer rolls around, I'm usually done with it, I live far enough away that they are too lazy to go that far out to mess with me. Honestly, I figured that they forgot about it, just like we tried to over the summer." He sighed again. "I think it should be safe to try and head out. I'll walk back to your place with you, then if it's cool with you and your mom, give my mother a call to head home from your place." |

"You lucky bastard," Ridley joked with a soft laugh. He wished that his house was further away from school for two reasons: One, then his house wouldn't have the vandalization problems that it did, and two, he would have been able to explore more of the town as he went from School A to Home B. Upon hearing Peter's remark about going home, Ridley sat up and looked out the window one last time. There was still no one there to jump them by the way things looked. "Yeah, that'll be fine with my mom. Hell, she doesn't think that I have any friends to begin with." He went to the door first, unlocking and unlatching it before he let it open on it's own and walked outside. |

Peter followed Ridley out of the shop, stooping to pick up his chemistry book along the way. The walk to Ridely's home was thankfully un-eventful. The two exchangeds some idle talk while they went. Peter was glad to have made a new friend, even if it wasn't under the best of circumstances. Upon reaching Ridely's home, he introduced himself to Ridely's mom, using the phone to call up his own mom, she said she'd be there in 15 minutes. He put down the reciever, heading back outside to sit on the porch to wait. The two talked some more. When Peter's mother got there, he said his goodbyes. "Well, I'll see you in Calculus tomorrow morning dude!" He smiled, throwing his backpack onto his sore shoulders, and hopping in the Truck that had pulled up. |

Thank God that the thugs from before sucked at finding people. On the way home, Ridley made sure to stand on top of every fire hydrant and hop over every pitfall there was. After all, he hadn't had the chance to explore very much that day. He wasn't very surprised when his mother welcomed Peter with open arms, and was a little disappointed that his new friend couldn't stay longer. "Yeah, I'll see ya, but I still hate that class!" He yelled after Peter as he got into his mom's car. When he left, Ridley hauled his bookbag up to his room and plopped down on his bed with his ipod. The first song to play after selecting the shuffle option was "Tides Change" by The Hush Sound. He chuckled to himself and said, "The title fits, but the lyrics need some work." |
