Nilsey struggled against the boys who were tormenting him. Lalna and Sjin were at it again, and this time, they had Nilsey's cat. The stuffed cat his mom had given him for his seventh birthday, a few weeks before she had passed away. He always carried it with him, even to school, but he kept it hidden.

"Guys, put the cat down please!" Nilsey said, panicking slightly. It's not like they knew about his mom, he never told anyone.

"What? This cat?" Sjin sneered, holding the stuffed cat high above Nilsey's head. "Does the baby want his kitty back?"

At this point, Lalna grabbed Nilsey and hung him on a tree branch by his pants. "Okay guys, this isn't funny any more, please stop," Nilsey was getting more and more frantic at this point. Kicking his feet around and trying to reach where his pants were attached to the tree.

"Awe, does the baby want his kitty back?" Lalna laughed, grabbing the stuffed toy from Sjin and tossing it back. This started a game of catch between the two.

"Please stop!" Nilsey yelled.

"Oh, you want us to stop?" Sjin said, Nilsey nodded vigorously. "Too bad." With this said, Lalna ripped the cat's head off and tossed it to Sjin.

Nilsey started screaming and kicking and crying like only someone who has lost something important can. At this point, someone finely saw the bullying that was happening, and it happened to be a freshman in high school by the name Lomadia.

"Hey idiots! Leave the kid alone!" Lomadia screamed at the two eighth graders. The boys immediately dropped the two parts of the stuffed cat and ran off. "Are you okay?" Lomadia said, getting Nilsey off the tree.

Nilsey shook his head, picking up the two parts of the cat. He started crying.

"Hey, don't cry, it's okay. My name's Lomadia, what's yours?" Lomadia said, trying to cheer the crying boy up.

Nilsey sniffled, "I'm Nilsey, and it is not okay! My mom gave me that before she...before she..." he burst into tears again. "Before she died!"

"Oh I'm so sorry!" Lomadia said, rubbing circles on the boy's back. "I have a friend who can sew, I bet she can fix that cat right up!"

"R-really?" Nilsey sniffled.

"Yeah, come on," Lomadia said, helping the boy up.

Lomadia lead Nilsey to her friend's older brother's car. "Nilsey, this is Zoey, she'll fix up your cat for you." Lomadia pointed to a red haired girl.

Lomadia explained the situation to Zoey, who readily agreed to help.

"How are you getting home?" Lomadia asked Nilsey.

"I walk," he said.

"Me too! I'll walk with you until we get to a point where we have to split, okay Nilsey?"

"Sure," Nilsey replied.

A few days later, Nilsey had a fixed cat, and a new best friend, even though she was older.
