Things Aren't Always What You Think By Mariah Philpott

"Now class we have a new student."The teacher says loudly over the screaming teens who didn't even flinch at the sound of their teachers voice ,except for the people who had their faces stuck in a book since the beggining of class."EVERYONE BE QUIET ,PLEASE!",she yells ,which was suprising because she's a little old lady with a cute little squeaky voice and an everlasting smile that makes you think she should be in a cookie commercial.

The class instantly is silent after that ,"Thank you ,now class ,this is Jonathan Crumble!"She said sweetly before sitting down at her desk."You can sit by Bryce over by the window there."she pointed at a very tall guy who looked like he probably got held back a few years ,and he had a really mean look that made you want to run out of the room screaming.

He sat down and this "Bryce" guy grinned evilly at him then turned around to talk a guy looked just like him ,but it's not like they are twins or anything, it's just they both had really mean looks to them .The teaher started talking about a pep rally that was this Friday.She hoped everyone would have a great time ,which he didn't care about at all.He was happy that they were only going around to each class to visit the teachers and talk about what they would learn this year ,but he already knew everything very well.

When he was on the way to the way to the restroom he noticed Bryce ,the guy he sits by, walking behind him with his little buddy from before.They followed him into the restroom ,and they pushed him into the wall ,"Hey shorty!Where's your lunch money?"he asked.

"I don't have any."Jonathan said

"Why not?"he asked stupidly

"Because I just don't."Jonathan replied angerly.

"Well you should from now on ,or your gonna get beaten!"Bryce yelled and left him with that warning.

So for two whole semesters thats what happened ,except he asked for more and more money everyday ,so Jonathan had to sneak the money out of his parents wallets and stuff.it's amazing they never found out!

When Bryce Creemer got home his dad was passed out on the couch with a whiskey bottle still in his hand ,that's how it's been since his mom died a year ago ,and his dad got fired.Bryce had to get a part time job to pay the bills ,but his job doesn't pay enough ,so he bullies kids for their money. He doesn't like it ,but it's what he has to do.

"Give me your money!"Bryce told the tiny sixth grader

"I....I don't have it!"The sixth grader cried out ,
