"Well, well, look who we have here?"
Michael stood with his three friends, staring at the scrawny boy in front of them. The boy stepped away from his locker, his face paling for a moment.
"Isn't this the nerdy kid?" Michael grinned. The scrawny boy, Terry, who was often bullied by Michael, trembled, swallowing hard as he kept his head down.
Michael and his friends seemed to enjoy the situation immensely as they stepped forward, blocking Terry's escape. The students behind them ignored the scene, as if it were just an everyday occurrence. Michael placed a hand on Terry's shoulder.
"What's on the menu today, nerd?"
Terry lowered his head and quickly stammered, not wanting to anger his bullies. "I-I didn't bring any lunch today."
Michael's friend Zack frowned. "Don't lie. Your mom always packs your lunch. Now hand it over."
Terry's eyes welled up with tears, and he shook his head. "I really didn't bring anything."
