Belles POV:

Ugh... stupid alarm clock.

I slowly open my eyes to see my alarm clock buzzing and bouncing on my nightstand, I grab my stuff buddies Hops the bunny rabbit and Chuck the monkey, throwing them at the clock as they both fall to the ground. I groaned, pulling my covers back over my head trying to go back to sleep.

"Bell come on hon move your booty or you're gonna be late for school!"

Agh, man I wish I could stay in bed forever! Guess that's just wishful thinking.

I stand up from my bed, stretching my arms above my head, yawning before walking to my bathroom to change into my clothes for school.

...........................

I look at myself in the mirror with my off shoulder cream white sweater and black leggings looking down at my plain white Jane shoes. "Ugh." I groan brushing my long dark chocolate brown hair, twisting two space bun into my hair. I look at myself in the mirror smiling a bit.

I think I look pretty cute.

I grab my glasses off my nightstand, sliding them on my face blinking a few times before my vision becomes clear.

Ugh man! I wish I could wear contacts so I don't look like a big dork.

"Belle!"

"Okay okay I'm coming!" I shout from upstairs rolling my eyes a bit.

"Hey don't roll your eyes missy!"

How did she know that?!!

I swear my mom, Margo, is a superhero, or an experiment or something... Well she is a scientist, so it makes sense.

I grab my backpack and start making my way downstairs to the kitchen, I sit at the table pouring a glass of orange juice taking a slip as a set of pancakes are placed on the plate in front of me, being greeted by a syrupy grinning face with a buttery glob of a nose in the middle. I glance up at my other mom, Beth, shooting me an equally sweet, warm sappy grin down at me.

No ounce of sarcasm with that, she was awesome and sweet in a corny sort of way that was awesome. At least in my opinion.

"There's my sleepy grizzly bear cub! Finally gracing her mama bears from her long hibernation. So you excited to take the day?" She said in a joyful chirp with a big megawatt smile before giving me a loving wet peak on the forehead lovingly. I groan a bit as my cheeks warmed up as my mom chuckled at me amused,

Geez how can someone be so sweet yet so embarrassing at once?

"Well, that sounds like someone's got a lion in their throat, rawr! Heh, oh come on my little cub, don't be like that. You know ya love my lovin'?' 

Ugh! Stop saying stuff like that, it's so embarrassing!

I love it, but stop mom, geez! My mom chuckled some more at me making me groan more, it seemed to encourage it more as she nuzzled my cheek before pulling back. "Heheheh! Admitted you love it! I know someone does too."

Oh no, my mom slides over towards Margo, who saunters in the kitchen pulling up on her long white lab coat messily hanging on her bod, smirking at her purring like a cat leaning at Margo who leans back with a bashful smile blushing brightly with a gross loving look in her eyes.

Ugh!

I love seeing my moms in love but it's a double edge sword I tell ya! The kissy faces and goo goo eyes by your parental units are just... Ack! Why!

"Isn't that right Margy? You love my lovin' don't ya?" My mom said with a lustful loving girn that put me off my pancakes as I push the plate forward puffing out my cheeks in disgust as Margo giggled like a school girl in love.

As a school girl I'm both offended by that saying and flattered by it, though never been in love might be way I'm a bit, itty bitty bitter by it. Am I jelly of my parents instead of disgust? ...Ugh, no deep thoughts before breakfast. Brain need food and forget gross lovey-dovey parents.

"Hehe oh you charmer you." Margo chuckles before planting a kiss on my mom's lips, making me smile at them a bit. Yeah, sometimes seeing your parents kiss like teenagers is gross ...but at least that means that they truly loved each other.

"Well I gotta go if I don't wanna miss the bus." I smiled, throwing my backpack over my shoulder giving them a wave as they wave back.

"Bye baby have a good day at school and call us if 'you know who' messes with you again." Margo frowns a bit protectively. I mental cringe a bit at hearing that.

Right.. him....

I flash her a fake assuring smile, walking out the fount door "I will I promise love you bye!"

Faintly as I walk out the door, aside from a bit grumbling tummy, as I walk off the steps of my house and onto the sidewalk to the bus stop I hear my mom, Beth, call out to me that it was miffed through the wooden white front door. "Wait, you didn't finish you pancake smilies! Belle!" She calls to me as I cringe a bit in realization as I stand at the bus stop sign at the corner.

Oh yeah, I forgot to finish eating my breakie. ...Eh, not the end of the world. Plus I was full enough, I'll be fine...

For that part, for the school part I'm not so sure.

...........................

I push the double doors open. Looking around cautiously at the students gripping my backpack tightly in fear and worry.

I don't see him anywhere. Phew.

M-Maybe he's sick?

O-Or got transferred?

Or maybe the principal finally expelled him!

Or maybe he got abducted by aliens and is in another galaxy!!

No Belle that's stupid! Aliens don't exist!

Or do they? ...

Agh, focus girl!!

I shake my head getting out of my train of thought, opening my locker, grabbing my books that I had inside while putting my backpack in, closing it shut. I quietly walk to Math class still looking over my shoulder as I open the door walking into what some would consider a jungle. Students talking, eating, throwing paper balls at each other.

I roll my eyes a bit annoyed at the scene.

Seriously guys we're in math!

Not a pep rally!

Eeh, maybe I'm just boring.

Or a nerd...

Or some considered both...

I just shrug my shoulders walking to my seat, until I feel something underneath me making me trip and fall flat on my face spreading my book on the ground. I look up dizzily at the many students laughing at me in amusement as I blush a bit embarrassed. A jock sitting at a desk with a basketball tank top and a sleazy smile snickers with the others.

Of course Logan Hughes.

Why am I not surprised.

2nd year on the high school basketball team.

And 6th year of tripping people!!

"Watch where you step Belle. I'd hate for you to have a fall." He smirks at me evilly making me turn bright red with annoyance.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "Is this the guy your mom Margo was talking about?"

Unfortunately, no, the guy she was talking about is ten times worse.

I sigh to myself standing up and dusting my sweater walking over to my seat sitting in it in silence as our teacher Mr. Flincher walks in. Glaring around at everyone like a military sergeant looking at slag jaw normies that got into the service for the first time. Or a dangerous jungle cat stalking wild game in the jungle brush, which ever is the most scariest.

Mr. Flincher cold stern stare scans up, everyone stopping almost instantly from doing the daily goofing and antics to stand like deer in the highlights on a freeway waiting for the car to smash them but can't move outta the way fast enough. I can understand way, cuz I felt it too. Standing still as a statue, eyes wide not daring to move.

Fear is a powerful thing my friends.

"Alright. Everyone take your seats. ...Now!" He shouts in his deep, monster like voice that could rival Godzilla. Everyone quickly took their seats without hesitation, balled up pieces of paper, talking and eating chip bags abandoned ether on the floor and in the air quickly like quick drying cement.

Fear was an powerful motivator too.

"Everyone means everyone Dunphy, take you seat or your docked a point. And wipe that dumb look off your face." He said shaking his head as he sits down in his leather swivel chair. I blink blankly quickly darting my eyes around noticing to my dread that everyone sat down and I was still standing up near my seat.

Everyone looking at me making me squirm under their piece ring gazes. It's like those nightmares everyone has... Not that I had them a lot, just... an normal amount. ....Man I better not be one of those dreams again.

No, no this was reality. Painful reality.

"Miss Dunphy, sit now." Mr. Flincher rebuffed me again, making me jump smiling nervously. Some of my so call fellows in learning snicker to themselves including that Logan, he's the worst. Well third worst.

After internal screaming I quickly nod, mentally trying not to think of rechecking myself in case I forgot to get dressed this morning. In case it was true or not, which again was not but... I'm not taking any chances in case I get more embarrassed then I already was.

Just sit down, quickly. No harm, no fowl. No more embarrass-

PPPPPHHHHFFFFTTTTTT!!! 

....

Oh come on!!

Everyone beside Mr. Flincher burst out into laughter putting at me as I look down to see a whoopie cushion in my seat making me turn bright red.

The only person who I know would do that is..

I hear someone laughing loud and hysterically when I look up to see a big kinda pudgy looking guy high fiving Logan making me grump and slump my shoulders a bit.

Jake Blencher! Ugh!!

Why am I not surprised. ...Again.

Logan's number one best friend and a total jerk.

And, no, he's not the nightmare bully I was talking about.

Oh no, it gets way better!

For those of you who didn't know, I was being sarcastic!

I-I'm sorry I shouldn't take my frustration out on you guys. You didn't do anything.

I could feel my face getting hot with tears creaking in my eyes.

Don't cry...

Don't cry...

Don't cry!

If you cry they'll never let you live it down!!

I quickly wipe my face as a dust the whoopie cushion off my seat and sit back down in my chair as Mr. Flincher glares at me. "Miss Dunphy if you need to use the bathroom please excuse yourself from the room before just letting one rip in my class." He shakes his head turning around to write on the blackboard, I couldn't do anything but just lay my head on my desk embarrassed.

Sometimes I wish I could just disappear!

...........................

The bell rings making everyone stand up from their desk walking out of the room. I gather up my notes and math book before quickly following the students outside into the hallway, avoiding eye contact with anybody.

Just one more class, Belle and we're home free. We just have to make it though one more-

A shove of my shoulder makes me snap out of train of thought causing me to drop my books and paper on the floor. I turn to see a girl, rolling her eyes at me before going back to talking with her friends."Watch where you're going dweeb!"

Okay rude.

I glare a bit at her rudeness, but just sigh letting it go, there's no point in me getting when the day is almost over. Besides... I-I'm not very good at confrontation. I bend down grabbing my notes and book when I feel a tug on my leggings, my body tensed up...

I feel a chill go down my spine...

My heart almost beats out of my chest...

No no no no!!!

The day is almost over can't I just have one day without running into.. him.

The guy I loathe and fear with great intensity.

The guy I've been dreading to see all day, from classroom to classroom worrying and praying to any deity to not run into at all.

The guy that's made my life a nightmare since kindergarten when I opened my big mouth to him, trying to be his friend but unknowingly sealed my doom for all my life.

The guy currently holding onto the waistband of my shorts, leggings and underwear in his rough big hands. I glance up shakingly, sweat falling like tick rain drops you'd see in the rainforest, jerking my head to the side in a sideways glance with wide big fearful eyes in horror and pleading mercy.

I stare up at the cold, forest green colored cruel sharp glare down of Reigge O'Riordan, local psycho thug and sadistic bully of the whole neighborhood! His grinning with his white, sharp shark tooth like smirk that only serial killers or actual sharks have, I don't even know if that was physically possible.

He chuckled darkly down at me, his head shakes a bit making his spiky silver blonde hair that looks to be a mix of a hedgehog and wild grass growing in a swamp bristle about as he clicks his tongue, I sneaked a peek at a sliver piercing on it, much to my disgust.

"Well, well, well... Look who is caught with her flank exposed again. Little miss Dorkphy, I thought you'd remember never to bend over without protection." Reggie began to say like he was a father gently scowling a child, with a hint of slow building joy of watching me squirm in place. I gulp nervously as he leans in to look more in my fearful eyes. "You might expose your poor, poor cheek crack to the elements or expose a bit of undies to the public to laugh at. Good thing I was here to help keep your shorts up, huh? Wasn't it?" He said tugging a bit on the clothing in his firm grip making tense, my legs bend together and my cheeks squish together tightly as I shook as I looked pathetically up at him, begging for mercy.

But who am I kidding, he doesn't have any.

"C-Come on Reggie j-just leave me a-alone the day is almost o-over." I gave him a pleading face thinking he would let me go.

Boy was I wrong.

Reggie just smirked at me like a Lion playing with his food, he gave my pants a tug upward making me squeak a bit, crossing my eyes in pain as I'm lifting two inches off the ground. 

Why would I think I could reason with a bully?

Stupid, I know.

"Ouch!! C-come on Reggie, you've already given me a wedgie on Wednesday! Can't you just w-wait until after the weekend agh! S-Stop you're gonna stretch my undies!" I stuttered trying to get down from his tight grip. Reggie just laughs at my stutter, which he knows I'm very self conscious about!

The jerk!

"Hahahaha! W-W-What was th-th-that? I couldn't hear ya over that glitching computer ya call a mouth Dorkphy! Ha!" The jerk cackles mean spirited at me, making me pout a bit with blush before letting out another high pitched squeal as I'm lifted upwards more off the ground. About 5 more inches at least, even in pain my mind still got some math going in my head that's usually right.

Painfully so.

"What ya say ya want me to stretch your bubble butt more off the ground? Well if ya say so!" Reggie mocked me twisting my words around like my undies sometimes,

Ugh, he is the worst!

Why me!?

Why am I his favorite to torment!?

Agh! I can feel my undies bunching up and wedding in places they shouldn't be!

Oh my poor booty!

I kick my legs helplessly, bunching my arms other with my hands balled up in fists as my face scrunches up in intense pain as Reggie chuckles at me before swinging me around the room!

Great, now the pain moves.

Glancing around the hall I'm only met by laughing mugs of my fellow classmates pointing at me, holding their guts, hands over their mouths finding my humiliation and hurt funny. Other than finding it funny, most smartly knew never to dare try to mess with Reggie... unless they got a dead wish. Most looked away or cringed at the pain I'd go through, those cowardly yet sympathetic ones just looked away and pretended not to see this.

Some help where they.

Aaah! Somebody help! Please! My butt isn't gotta last long, or worse my undies won't last long!

Snapped off undies is more embarrassing than stretched undies.

I squirm as Reggie spins me around, twisting my undies like a tight rope before releasing my head making me spin in a blurred fury. Everything blends together in one big rainbow blob, Ugh, my face going green. I think I'm gonna be sick. "Ha! Come on Bell Brain, you know this is what ya get for leaving your booty in the air unprotected. It's law that if your buns out, I wedgie out. Don't worry, since it's not Wednesday I'll only wedgie ya a bit before I give ya a little dip in our moldy spot. Generous I know."

Reggie said with wicked glee as I felt more sick, what's worse than having ya underwear pulled up painfully? A gross dirty toilet water with mold on it in an old bathroom on the second floor, going up your nose as your head dunked in with a hefty swirl of the handle pulled!

Gross!

But it was my daily torment this week, what ya gonna do? Expect cry, pray and beg for mercy.

I continue to spin for a few more seconds until he dropped me on the ground. Which would have been fine until I slammed my face into the lockers from dizziness and not seeing where I was going, both his fault for spinning me up til I couldn't tell what from what and... partly mine cuz I'm kinda a klutz. I groan dizzily and in pain slowly sliding down to the ground as people continue to laugh at me, Reggie leading the charge standing over my head like a maniac ready to slam my head in.

Why me?

Out of all people. Just...

Why me?

"Alright, alright! That's enough, everyone back to class now!" A strong bossy voice barks making everyone flinch a bit and moves through the crowd. Everyone moves apart nervously as a tall woman with her hair pinned up in a bun with red glasses laying on her nose as she glared at Reggie, who looks at her with a grump that she ruined his fun. And me, holding my face up flashing a shaky nervous smile at her with a weak palm wave with my hand lay lazily on the ground.

Principal Haneworth right on schedule. ...Great.

"Mr. O'Riordan.. Ms Dunphy in my office NOW!!"

Just... Great.

...........................

Reggie's POV:

Just freaking great.

Just when I'm starting to have fun with Dorkphy, that Haneworth jerk has to come and ruin it.

She is such a killjoy. More so then that guy I see that tries to "reform" or "well adjust" me or whatever. Honestly I'm pretty great all on my own. Besides who listens to a school counselor who has a rat tail anyway, dork.

Ugh, still at least Haneworth had more grit then that guy. Kinda like my aunt. And I hate that! Ugh! I hate this! I hate everything!!!

Uaaagh!!!

I let out a annoyed sigh leaning back in the blue color, soft cushioned chairs drooping my arm over the back of the head of it. Looking around bored, scratching my side a bit as I look around this dumb office. Even after the tons of times I get sent here the old gal can't find to full this boring pit of a room. Supply rooms have more space and life in them than this dump.

Same old boring wooden bookshelf, same old boring colorful motivational school posters hung up on the walls, same old big window behind the jerky Haneworth's oak desk with the white blind thingies drawn and with nothing on her desk but a golden plaque with her name on it. Ugh, so dumb!

But the most worst thing in the room to me was across me in the same chair. Knees crossed, shaking like a puppy left out in the rain, wide eyed in fear and shame while gripping the seat so tightly she gonna break it.

That ladies and gents was dork of the year, Belle Dunphy.

Geez, can't stand her!

She's just so... So... Ugh! I can't even said it, it just turns my stomach just thinking it!

Can't ya just chill for once in your life Dorkphy? Not like ya haven't been in the principal's office before, granted it was for awards and some of your better incidences in the school. Still you've been in her so ya can chill and not like your going to sent to death row.

She looks like she gonna burst out crying and pee her pants any moment now.

It's funny as it is annoying, grow a spine already!

I huff a bit throwing my head back blowing air to get the hair off my face. I frown a bit as I peek an eye out at old Haneworth just sitting down on her big butt on a brown leather chair, arms crossed on her desk glaring at us blankly, doing nothing. Ugh, I'm so bore do something already!!

"Ugh!" I scream leaning down into my hands, bringing them up on my face and I stretch it up a bit. My yell outburst didn't make that stone cold old bat flinch, made Dorkphy jump outta her seat and stump on the ground. I was too annoyed to chuckle at her klutzy-ness as I glare at the principal. "Can ya start talking already! All ya did since dragging us in here is stare at us. If that's it can I go now cuz I got better things to do than have an old lady staring at me."

"Reggie this is the 10th time that I had you in my office for bullying Ms Dunphy, as of right now you have a full three weeks of detention and I will be contacting your Aunt about this as well." Principal Haneworth narrows her eyes firmly at me making me roll my eyes bored, I'm  used to the same thing over and over again.

Wedgie Dorkphy.

Get sent to the principal's office.

Get detention.

Get yelled at by Auntie Medusa when I get home.

Come to school the next day.

Rinse and repeat.

I peek an eye to the side seeing Dorkphy shake a bit in her chair looking down at her feet. Ugh she's such a wimp can't even look up!

But suddenly she stands up looking at me with angry eyes and tears rolling down her face puffing out her cheeks, clutching her fist to the side. Hehe, she looks like an angry strawberry getting squeezed and that's about to pop!

"Why do you alway pick on me Reggie?!! Out of all the kids in school I'm the one that gets the wedgies by you! I'm the one who gets swirlies by you!! I'm the one that gets humiliated in front of EVERYONE BY YOU!! You're just nothing but a jerk and a bully!! Te odio! Te odio! Te odio!!" Her chest going up and down snort breathing like an angry bull in a bull fighting act with her eyes closed tight pumping her fists in front of her

Geez!

((Translation: I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!))

Huh, guess Dorkphy does have a spine.. barely. Who knew she screams in Spanish when she's pissed out though. I gotta work on getting that reaction more, it's se-hilarious! ...Hilarious, yeah that's what I meant.

"Now Belle, honey, I understand you're frustrated and upset but it won't help to stoop down to his level to make yourself feel better." Haneworth looks at Dorkphy all sympathetically and mushy, like a mama bird caring for her baby,

Bleck!! So gross!!

"I-I'm sorry Principal Haneworth." Dorkphy sniffs looking down with tears rolling in her eyes. I resist the urge to gag at her sniveling display, it's so pathetic!

What a crybaby suck up! And she and Haneworth wonder why I pick on her so much, geez!

"It's alright dear, you can go ahead and head back to class." Haneworth gestures to the door, Dorkphy quickly gets up and leaves the room wiping her tears away like the goody goody she is. Ugh. Leaving me alone with our stick-up-her-butt principal glaring down at me, standing with her hands on her sides.

"Well if that's all, I'm gonna head out before I barf out my lunch from all this melodrama sappiness. Or die of boredom. See ya Gertrude, let's meet up again sometime." I said as I stood up from my chair and brazenly walked towards the door smirking at the old fart. Yeah she hates when I do it but I'm cool like that so she deals with it, like those smooth crime lords in cop shows. But soon as I reach the knob of the door, Haneworth stops me by speaking up and marching over to me. I roll my eyes, sticking my hands in my back leather jacket pockets and swing my heel around to look at her stern eyes hidden behind her glasses.

"Reggie.. I have tried to be very patient with you. You know, there is absolutely no bullying tolerance in this school, young man." The old bat growling trying to threaten me, heh, nice try I've faced better threats from my boss at the mechanic shop then you. I just roll my eyes while throwing my head back, yawning bored, she tries to scare me again by slamming her fist on the door, than pointing a finger at my nose. "I'm serious Mr. O'Riordan. If I hear or catch you harassing Belle again you automatically be expelled! Do I make myself clear?" Haneworth glares at me squinting her wrinkles together tightly that strain so much there about to pop out from around her eyes."Crystal clear, Gertrude." I said as I rolled my eyes as I opened the door and left with a smirk knowing that old bat is glaring holes into the back of my head.

Like that was a threat, like expelling me would stop me from doing what I want. Ha! What a crock. I got my whole life ahead of me! I'm young, strong and got a ton of power, really...

What can stop me now?

...........................

Belle's POV:

That stupid spiked haired! big muscled! Bad breathed jerk!!

This is my fifth pair of stretched out underwear this week alone!! Agh!! He just makes me so mad sometimes, I swear I just wanna!!-

I bumped into something hard making me fall, and right onto my sore butt too! I was cringing in pain biting back a yell and a few tears, my butt already hurts it can't take anymore damage!! I look in front of me to see a guy with bigger, ticker black frames glasses than me, with a black shirt with an elf space guy on it shooting a laser into space. I sigh a breath of relief, putting my hand on my chest with a small relief smile.

Oh thank god! It's just Todd.

"S-Sorry Todd! I-I didn't see you." I rub back of my neck a bit embarrassed as I stood up and helped him with picking up his books. Me and Todd aren't friends but he's one of the handful of people that are nice to me, so in a way he's like... a good acquaintance."it's no problem Belle, I wasn't watching where I was going." Todd shoos a hand at me with a smile making me feel a little better about today. Until he noticed my stretched underwear and frowned a bit looking at me sympathetically. "Another wedgie from Reggie?"

"Y-Yeah." I look down turning red, snuffling a bit as I hastily stuff my underwear back into my pants.Hoping no one else saw my undie tail. Todd growls furiously, clutching his books tightly as his fingers turned red and stomping his foot on the ground nearly breaking his foot in the process, he honestly couldn't break the floor with his ... thin legs so to speak."Agh, I hate that guy!! Always messing with people just cause he's so bad and bigger then most of us!! That dude sucks!!" He rants a bit as I cringe a bit, rubbing my arm uncertainly looking down.

Well... hate is a strong word but I admit I really.. really... Really! Don't like Reggie.

Though apparently not as much as poor Todd does. Poor guy gets picked on more than I do by Reg and others.

But then, Todd stops ranting to look to the left and then right, to make sure no one is looking at us, before grabbing my hand in a sweaty but tight grip and leading me somewhere.

Ok, weird. ... And kinda gross. Sorry Todd.

He opens the door to an empty lab room letting me in before closing the door, he spreads a smile at me almost like a supervillain in a comic book that has his arch nemesis in his clutches. It was honestly creeping me out as I lean back a bit as he moves in on my personal space sneakily."I think I've got an idea on how to get Reggie to leave, not just you, but everyone alone!"

I raised an eyebrow, not having a lot of hope in this guy or his tract record, but I didn't want to be mean and squish his dream so I'll just let him tell me. Play along, ya know. "O-Okay how?" I asked with a small curious smile that was parts fake but parts real cuz I was, a tiny bit. Todd smiles again adjusting his glasses a bit, then he got down to business.

He scatters his notes all over the table he pulled outta his novelty Star Wars backpack, tons of scribbly notes with crossed out stuff and highlight stuff, crude drawings. The works. All part of master plan type stuff or maybe a conspiracy board."Okay, you know how Reggie drinks those protein shakes everyday?"

Yeah... You can smell the disgusting mix of broccoli and chocolate on his breath. Bleck!!

"Well, I whipped up a little something that put him in his place! And I'm gonna pour in his drink before school ends." Todd opens his backpack again and pulls out a vile with a cork at the top, shaking with bubbling orange liquid inside between his index finger and thumb. I stare at it in awe, with my jaw slight hanging open a bit. But in the back of my head something about it seems off....

Wait a minute...

Was...  he.... GOING TO POISON REGGIE?!!!

"You're gonna poison him?!!" I yell a little too loudly startling Todd a bit, nearly making him drop the vile on the ground. I'm normally a quiet person but something like that just shocked me.Sure, Reggie's a jerk and sure, he's a bully but even he doesn't deserve to be poisoned! That's a bit much!! Todd quickly covers my mouth, shushing me with an annoyed and kinda freaked out look on his face."Shhh! Quiet, you want us to get creamed by him?! Look, I'm not gonna poison him. Really, it's just gonna give him a little tummy trouble ya know? Give him bad gas or diarrhea or something? He'll be fine, he'll just be on the toilet for the rest of the week, leaving us wedgie free for a week!" He explained his plan to me pointing at the vile with a bright hopeful smile as I frowned a bit at him in concern.

I cringed at this, unsure and concerning thoughts flooding my mind. I'm not one to approve of revenge but.. it is time for Reggie to get a taste of his own medicine. Besides, it's just a harmless prank. It's not like it'll kill him. "Well.. okay just don't put too much." I said with a wry smile before shooting him a warning squinty stink eye at Todd, pointing at him as he snorted with a confident nod.

"Relax, I got this." Todd gives me a smirk putting the vile in his back pocket of his pants as the bell rings, leaving the room as I follow him. Everyone starts to walk out of the school as I break outta the crowds of students, when I hear a voice that really brightens up my day.

"Sup Cowbell."

I turn to see a tall girl with black hair, purple contacts in her eyes, pale skin, piercing in her nose and lips, wearing a spiked choker around her neck with a black dress and spiky boots combo crossing her arms while giving me a small smile which I return with a bigger one. That was my girl. My ride or die. My only best friend, Carrie Wayne, the kick butt goth with a heart of gold. "Carrie!" I shouted gleefully as I walked over to her with a big smile waving at her, making her chuckle a bit amused before her face turned from amused to concerned.

"Hey. I heard about what happened during 5th period. I would have smacked Reggie upside the head if I wasn't in Spanish. Jerk. You alright?" Carrie motionlessly rolled her eyes in a huff as I smiled at her gratefully as I nod.

I've known Carrie since I was in kindergarten. She's actually the only person that protected me from Reggie when I first met him. I know what you're thinking 'why would you ever wanna be friends with a girl like her?' Well, surprisingly, we get along really well and we like a lot of the same things. Some include reading books, watching anime and nature. She is the best and I'm lucky to have her as my bestie. ... And my only friend.

"Hey! Hey, Belle!"

I turn to see Todd running up to us with a smile laughing to himself clapping his hands together and smiling like a madman in the loony bin. He seems happy, wonder if..."I did it! I slipped it in his drink when he wasn't looking! Hehe, this is gonna be hilarious!" He chuckled in glee as I nod in understanding.

Guess it was about that, good for him.

Carrie raises an eyebrow confused looking at me in interest, gesturing over with her hand at Todd with a neutral frown. "What is he talking about?"

"U-Um uh..." Why am I so nervous? It's not like I did it... Or did some horrible crime or anything.

"I put a little something in Reggie's drink that's gonna have him pooping all weekend." Todd smirks confidently with his arms crossed, leaning back and turning a bit to the side. Looking like one of those smooth fellas on perfume billboards.

"You gave him diarrhea.. wicked." Carrie smirks at him, I can already tell she's ready for Reggie to get what he deserved. I on the other hand... Geez, what's wrong with me? Why aren't I feeling happy about it?

Eh, I'm sure it'll kick in later. Hopefully. Besides, it was just a harmless prank after all. Just... put it outta your mind Belle, everything will be fine.

We walk out the school talking amongst each other about normal stuff, tv show episodes, bits of rumors around the school, normal stuff, when I see from the left side glance of my eyes Reggie a few feet away, leaning on the concrete sign that greets us every day when coming to school. I start to shake a bit, trying to look straight as my brain screams enterally in a panic, my flight or fight reflex fairly pointed at flight as my knees feel weak, my body starts sweating a lot and my ears grow deaf as my friends voices grow dim. All my senses are dulling! I can think straight! All I can see is... him, standing there mocking me! Ready to ruin my life more!! Just stay calm, stay calm...

Don't look at him.

Don't look at him!

Do. Not.  Look. At. Him!!

But I can't stop! He's coming up closer, inch by inch we walk outta the school entrance. My breathing is becoming shallow a bit as I felt Carrie hand on my shoulder gently supporting and comforting me. While Todd... looks just as panicked as me but still he stands by my side so.. that's something.Still Reggie just stares at us with his rough, hard eyes. I can't take this anymore!!

Suddenly to my immense relief, I see my mom's car with my moms, Beth and Margo, sitting in the front waiting for me with warm safe smiles. Just a few inches away to whisk me away from that monster and this nightmare.

Oh, thank god my moms are here to save me!

I'm gonna get outta this scot free without any-

Oh no...

But of course like an idiot I look over at Reggie smirking at me, before I know it his cupping his hands over his mouth shouting at me loudly, making me freeze in place and my face burn with embarrassment. "Hey Dorkphy, nice undie tail ya got there!!" I quickly turn around to see my stretched waistband sticking out of my pants again with wide eyes. My face turned bright red with embarrassment as I stuffed it more into my pants again but the damage was done as some people were chuckling, jeering and taking pics of the girl with the undie tail.

No doubt crueler people on the web and social sites sharing my embarrassing tail across the globe to laugh and mock me. New shameful face of a trending joke! Ack!!

Carrie, my rock that helps me not to bawl my eyes out like a baby, looks at me with a frown, putting a hand on my shoulder gently while looking into my eyes sharply, nearly scaring me. "Belle.... this is it, go tell that jerk off. While everyone's outside, show him who's boss, this is your moment." ...What?!

M-Me? Tell Reggie O'Riordan off?!

My bully?! The guy who's made my life a living heck for years!! That can snap me like a twig and wedgie me till I cry blood?!!? Heck judging by Todd's wide eyed gaping maw told me it was a nutty statement!!

Is she crazy?!!

......

Wait.. maybe... I should. That jerk has been bullying me since kindergarten and I'm sick of being his punching bag every single day!! I'm tired of the name calling! I'm tired of the harassment!! And most importantly, I am sick of the wedgies!!

Enough is enough!!

"Hey you! You've got one more time to bully my baby!!" My mom, Beth, screams at Reggie in motherly fury stilling half of her upper body through a opened car window, who just smirks at her unfazed by her warning, while my other mom, Margo, tries to pull her back prevent her from leaving the car through the window. I hold out a hand towards my mom, before stomping over to Reggie with a very angry yet determined look on my face. "It's okay mom let me handle this."

You can do this Belle.

J-Just... be brave!

"Reggie enough is enough. From now on you're gonna leave me alone!!" I point at him, narrowing my eyes in a warning manner with a firm frown. Reggie snorts at me, laughing making me pout glaring at him. He's not taking me seriously! Ugh!! I huff a bit, stepping up to him closer, getting in his face with a grimace while he still belittles me with laughter. "I'm serious! You're nothing but a thug wannabe jerk!!" I shout in his face and boy did that feel good. Even got a bit of spit on his face too, nice! At lest he ain't laughing now!

He glares at me, straightening himself as he stands over me a bit, towering over me while looking down at me like an angry god ready to smite a lowly mortal. I could feel now multiple eyes staring at us at that moment that I felt weren't there before and it was just the two of us, until now. It made me falter a bit... Not gonna lie.  "Aww, the baby's trying to look brave. Very cute. Ya know what, I'm feeling nice right now so you've got about three seconds to leave with your mommies before you get another wedgie, kay? I'd hate for them to see you, their little poopy diaper baby, to get your butt wedgied again." I shake a bit scared but took a deep breath, no don't let his words get to you. Or his slimey smirk or his eyes that look like his seeing through you.

Don't let everyone standing still watching this spectacle, including your moms, bestie and acquaintance, shake you up inside. Your not gonna let your knees buckle in fear, nor look weak and helpless now.

This was your moment...

Don't let him intimate you, Belle!

"Oh, this will be the last time you wedgie me again." I squint my eyes at him as Reggie blinks at me a bit surprised. He soon morphs that into frustration with a frown and narrowed dangerous eyes down at me, but I don't falter now. We just stare at each other, as everyone watches us in awe at a wimpy nerd standing up to a psycho bully.

I wouldn't believe it myself if I wasn't apart this moment. But here we are.

"Sing it sister." Carrie snaps her fingers in a sassy way with a deadpan smirk making me break my serious face with a snort of laughter, heheh she can be so funny when she wants to be. She can always crack me in-

Agh!! No, Belle, focus!!

You're in the fight of your life here... Or just a stand up of your life I guess... Details, details, you still need to focus, girl.

It's my moment. Time to let this jerk have it!

"Just with your big clammy hands it felt like I was getting a wedgie from a giant sweaty, clumsy gorilla!" I point at him, with my serious face still intact after nearly giggling back there, hearing everyone go 'Ooo' at my sick burn. Good now to demasculate the big ape more. "You know what? Now that I think about it, you're wedgies don't even hurt that much.. in fact.. you're wedgies don't hurt at all!!"

Pow!

Bam!

Another swing and a hit by Dunphy, I'm on fire like the song says!! Everyone agreed with that as they 'Ooohed' again at my other sick burn, some chuckling at it.

Nice!

That is self confidence boosting right there! Now for another blow! "That's right Reggie, your wedgies are nothing! Ya hear me nothing like you are, I barely felt 'em! Their butterfly kisses!!" I said with a firm kinda mean smirk as people around started to laugh more at my burns.

Awesome!

I even caught Todd laughing too.

Reggie looks taken back like he was offended. Like wedging and bullying was the only things he was good at, like I insulted his way of life or something. I mean... Probably that's kinda true... I mean, he's grades suck, he never goes to class at all, most of the teachers are afraid of him. He has no prospects or anything going for him, it's sad. He's probably so dumb that he only knows how to do is bully people! And that just... the only thing he knows to do, that's really sad but whatever. That's his fault and isn't an excuse.

No time to think sympathy for my bully. Gotta be firm!

"Yeah! Rub his nose in it, Bell Bell." Carrie encourages me more, making me feel like I'm a superhero. I've never felt more confident in my whole life!! I smile with arms on my hips as I deliver my final bows to this still reeling meat head to tear him down once and for all!! "Cause as of today, I'm done being your punching bag!! You big muscled! Small minded!! Steroid sniffing!! Insecure big eared-wannabe thug jerkhole!" I poke his chest with each insult making him back away with each jab I did to his big, broad chest. Like I was stabbing him with my words as the dazed and a little confused Reggie hit the sigh with his back, slumping down it a bit. I glare down at him as everyone watched, cringing at each word I spat at him, intensely waiting for the outcome of this pseudo boxing match.

Now.. it's time to shut Reggie up once and for all!!

I scoff at Reggie angrily glaring down at his slumped form with mock pity, feeling my chest getting hard clenching my fists to my sides as I leaned down to his level. "And I pity the next poor kid that you decide to pick on!! But that's not gonna happen cause I'm gonna tell everyone that you Reggie O'Riordan are. The Worlds.. Worst.. WEDGIER!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs getting in his face with my face red as a tomato shaking with rage, everyone gasps in fear and shocked that I, Belle Dunphy, finally had the courage to yell at my bully!

And you know what?

It felt good.

It felt real good!

Unfortunately, Reggie didn't think that way. Blinking at me for a second, as a way of processing what I said, before quickly growling at me angrily like a wild animal as he shot up, grabbing me by my sweater and lifting me off the ground to his face, making us nose to nose. Eyes burning with rage and I could swear, steam coming outta his ears as I struggle with my arms on his big meaty arm hidden in his black leather sleeved of his jacket, trying desperately to get away.

I sweated a bit and suppressed a squeak of fear as everything happened at once, heck the crowd didn't react quick enough shows how fast that heel turn of the situation was! This was bad! Though not as bad as his breath...

Bleck!! Yep, there's that smell of broccoli and chocolate on his breath again. Does this guy ever brush his teeth..? Probably not.

"You talk a mean game Dorkphy. But your still just a weak, little wimpy nerd that has no guts to do anything! Ya hear me, you're no John McLean!! Your just a dumb nerd with a big mouth as big as your pale bubble butt, oh I'm gonna enjoy giving you a-" Reggie ranted at me with a red face of anger and embarrassment, everyone cringing at us pitying the beating I was gonna get with some holding up their phones to record it to laugh at later, a valiant yet dumb effort in the end they maybe thought. Carrie looked ready to come in to help defend me from Reggie, along with my moms looking ready to throw down adult style to break it up before I got hurt.

But I'm getting more tired of this and... And...

I frown a bit at him with a firm look in my eyes, before doing something I never thought I'd do. Ever. In my lifetime. 

I pull my foot back far and kick him! hard! Right in his nuts!!

Everyone winces and squints at the sight of it. Some guys quickly cover their areas grunting in sympathy for Reggie as he drops me quickly before covering his sore spot. Falling forward onto the ground on his knees grunting and squirming, an eye of his twitching and biting his lower lip in intense pain. I huffed a bit  as I stood up and dusted myself off with a smirk at him before turning around and walked away as people mumbled and whispered pointing at the downed Reggie. No doubt carrying my deed to everyone with an ear or phone, and going down in high school history.

"Yippee ki yay Mother-"

"Carrie! Don't you dare young lady, you know your parents are Catholic!" My mom, Margo, points a finger at Carrie in warning with a parental glare that's undermined a bit by Beth stupidly girnning mug proudly at me, nearly chuckling at what my bestie nearly said. Carrie rolls her eyes walking to my moms car on the curb along with me as I giggle a bit, still in a daze at what happened.

And deliriously happy about it!

"You are such a buzzkill Mrs. Dunphy." She mutters as she opens the passenger door on her right, scooting over to leave room for me as I got in.

I honestly didn't catch what my moms where talking about once I got in, or what Carrie snarked afterwards, or the laughing and kinda cheering crowds for what happened, or Reggie glaring at me as the car pulled away or Todd cheering me with loud enthusiasm.

I did hear any of it cuz I was on cloud 9. ...

Make that 99!!

I couldn't stop grinning after entering the car. Honestly what Carrie said before entering my mom's car was the only thing I got before slipping to my happy moment.

Hehe, I love her so much. That's my Carrie for ya, snarky, kinda blunt and not afraid to say anything that's on her mind... that must have rubbed off on me finally.

And you know what else I love, more then anything now?

Finally standing up to one of my bullies!!!!

Woo!!
