To be more.

I lay in my bed, eyes wide open with bags under them from being tired, from the stress of what I saw on TV. I looked over at my Digital clock on the bedside table as it flicked from 0:00 to 0:01. "GAH!" I shouted rolling over on my front. "Sleeping has never been this hard before?" I asked myself.

"Well why don't you snuggle up next to me?" Pinkie Pie said.

I turned my head and saw Pinkie sitting up straight holding her for hooves to her mouth blushing. "I'm sorry Pinkie, but i'm too tired to

think of you right now." I said wearily.

Pinkie frowned. "Ugh, fiinnneeee." She droned laying down with her back towards me.

I turned around and looked on the ground. I saw my laptop lying there with it's lid open from when I was using it before. Because I couldn't sleep... I rolled my eyes and reached down grabbing the laptop lifting it up to me. I sat up and turned the computer on. After waiting a few minutes and entering my password I was finally in.

I tapped my fingers on the keyboard. A,S,D,F,A,S,D,F,A,S,D,F I typed into Google. I figured why not and pressed enter "Seriously Google? You have 207,000 results of asdfasdfasdfasdf and even an Urban Dictionary definition!" I said shocked. I placed my palm on top of my head and dragged it down my face.

I'd done just about everything I could think of tonight and it's still not enough for me to go to sleep! WHY! OK I know why. Everyone knows

who I am. At least more than a few people would of seen that on the news last night. And if they didn't who else will? A title like that won't be just reported by one News Media. It's gonna be on the internet with my name in stupid Stephen's quote!

I closed the laptop lid and chucked it to the end of the bed. I didn't even care about turning it off. "I'm sorry I did this too you Pinkie." I said. I was too tired too imagine her so I just said it out loud. "I'm gonna have real fun tomorrow at school." I said.

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP! My alarm clock went. I opened my eyes and actually wasn't feeling that bad or tired. I got out of bed stopping my alarm clock from ringing. "Oh wow, that's cold." I said frozen in place in shock from just cold it was compared to my bed.

My Dad knocked on the door. "C-come in." I said my teeth chattering together.

My Dad opened the door wearing about three layers of jackets. "I think winters here." My Dad said.

"Oh is that what it is?" I said breaking out of my frozen stance.

After getting dressed in what ever school clothes I can wear and combing my thick brown hair I was finally ready. I walked out into the kitchen rubbing my hands together. "Apparently last night there was a freak storm brewing and was going to hit us this morning." My Dad said

I looked out the kitchen window. It wasn't snowing but it was windy and pouring rain outside. Thick grey clouds rolled across the sky as all the Autumn leaves flew around the sky. "And we didn't know about it?" I replied.

My Dad shrugged and walked over to the couch. "I'll give you the day off." My Dad said.

I sighed. "It's fine I'll just... I'll just go to school." I said.

My Dad whipped around and looked at me weirdly.

"Are you sick?" Dad said.

"No I just know that people would of seen what was on the news last night and I want to get it all over with. The sooner people point at me the sooner they'll all turn back around and stop noticing me." I said backing away from the window.

"Or we could wait till it all... blows over. BADUM CHA!" My Dad said with a wink at the end.

"OK that was good." I said rubbing my forhead

"No it wasn't." My Dad said walking back to the couch.

I held my arms up in the air. "Are you kidding me I'm regretting I didn't come up with it!" I yelled.

After eating breakfast, getting my Umbrella and saying goodbye to my Dad in case I never see him again. I stepped out into this dark new world. "FUCK IT'S FREEZING!" I yelled. The rain all hit me like a ton of bricks and I became soaked instantly. I turned around and saw my Dad laughing threw the window. I stuck the finger up at him and walked on. Dad couldn't drive me since his car is in service.

"What did I do to deserve this." I said to myself crossing the road holding my arms. I would imagine Pinkie being here, but I think it would

actually be cruel to her if I did.

"Umbrella, come on Umbrella." I said trying to put up my Umbrella. I was so cold that at this point I was just speaking gibberish. I put the

strap of the Umbrella around my wrist and pressed the button on the Umbrella.

SWOOSH The umbrella went. As soon as it unfolded it actually took me with it. I turned around tugging on it so it wouldn't fly away. I started sprinting to school with the Umbrella facing the direction of the rain. "I hate being this wet..." I muttered to myself.

After a short sprint of almost two minutes and having a leaf stuck to my face I made it into the school grounds. I was almost to the school. I just have to get across the yard to the school... Oh what the fuck is this. I could see the three fuck wits that were bullying me yesterday standing around in nothing but there T-shirts. Are they stupid or trying to impress girls or something?

All of a sudden people started around who recognized me. Some turned back around and giggled while others just pointed and

had a good laugh to themselves.

"WHOA!" I shouted holding onto my umbrella. A giant, and I mean like a full bin fell over, gust of wind came and knocked everyone about, Including me. My Umbrella went invert and flew the opposite direction dragging me with it. More people laughed and I tried tugging the Umbrella back now under even more pressure.

I lost grip of it and my wrist strap snapped off. Combining the force of the wind and me losing my balance I went face first into the cold wet concrete. It seemed people couldn't get enough of the show and started taking photos. I turned away from all of them standing back up. I felt my face with my fingers and flinched. "Ow." I said in pain. I looked at my fingers and saw blood. I put my head down and started sprinting again.

My tormentors couldn't seem to get enough of it as they all laughed slapping each other on the back and stuff. "You've really out done

yourself this time." Chris said holding out his hand for me to High five.

I had to run past him to go to sick bay so I couldn't go anywhere else. I sprinted faster and without even realizing it I stepped in a giant

puddle of mud getting Chris and the others wet apart from me. They stopped laughing and stood there frozen looking at all the mud and crap

they just got on them.

I ran into the main building closing the door behind me letting out a sigh of relief. "I'm just grateful." I said huffing and puffing. I started walking down the hallway taking off my bag and jacket letting the well preserved hot air sink into me. I let another sigh of relief out walking down to the sick bay. The building it self was old. The building had two stories and all the paint which would of been a nice white has faded to an orangery tint.

I walked past the teachers lounge, main office, principals office, looking as even some of teachers were even looking at me funny. Maybe it was the cut or maybe the news last night. Probably both.

Finally I made it to the other end of the building where the sick bay was. I walked up to it knocked on the door. A woman opened the door. She looked about 30, my height (5 foot 7) she had fizzy brown hair wearing a purple top and black skirt.

"Can I help you?" She said. I pointed to my cut smiling. She let out a sigh. "Come on in." I walked into the sick bay and saw the desk she must of been sitting at. Is that a playgirl magazine?

"Here." She said.

"Huh?" I said looking at her.

"Here, take a band aid." She said.

I looked down at her hand and saw her holding a band aid to my chest. "Oh! Sorry." I said taking the band aid from her.

"Take a seat over there." She said pointing too her desk. I walked over and sat down next to it on a chair. "So how'd it happen?" She said sitting down at her desk throwing the magazine on the ground without so much as even a blush.

"Uh, I was trying to stop my Umbrella from flying off, but it got away and I fell over" I said.

Strangely she didn't respond to my question but instead reached to clean the cut out.

"Hey I know you?!" She said smiling at me.

I looked around nervously "I think your mistaking me for someone else." I said.

"No, on Facebook this morning. My daughter sent me a picture of this kid on the news and your-" I cut her off.

"Tell me now are you paid to talk or help sick kids?" I said.

She gave me a pissed off glare. She mustn't like being interrupted. Well then maybe then she shouldn't talk about people in front of her face how about that?

After I got my cut clean I was on my way to class, well my lockers first. Thank god the way there has a veranda. I entered another building,

this one with my locker in it, and walked down the hall full of teenagers. Some looked, some couldn't care less but it seemed the further and further I got in there the more and more started to look away. Why?

I reached my locker and there was a thick crowd in the way. I pushed past the people squeezing threw and people begun to giggle and laugh. I pushed threw out of the crowd and saw the lock on my locker gone. I turned around and saw a big semi-circle surrounding me. I turned around and looked at everyone.

"Do any of you have anything to say? Please say it now." I said unimpressed Looking around. No one said anything but starred. A few started to record me on there phone. I thought about saying something but I figured anything I said now would just go on the internet later. I turned back around to my locker and everything inside me said don't open that locker. But still I can't go to class without books and I gotta put my soaking jacket and bag somewhere.

I sucked up my pride and walked over to my locker opening it. Suddenly a large amount of my school books and photo's of last night news story poured out into corridor. I looked inside my locker and saw pictures of Pinkie Pie with my face on her for some reason.

Everyone begun to laugh. Everyone just laughed and laughed and laughed. I've been the joke before now, but I've always had somewhere else to turn. Some where to run and forget, but Now I was trapped. Trapped in among everyone one of these lunatics who like nothing more than just to see me suffer threw this. My breathing became heavy. It begun to speed up and I could feel my blood pump faster and faster. I looked at the poster's and papers. Every single one of them were suppose to mock me, hurt me and make Pinkie and make us look bad. I felt... alive...

"I think he's gonna cry!" I heard someone say. Slowly I just turned around and walked away. I picked up my bag and jacket walked away. I opened the door outside and people were still laughing and pointing. I turned around holding a detonator with a big red button on it. Everyone stopped laughing and looked at me seriously there eyes slowly widening realizing whats about to happen. Slowly I pressed my finger

down on the button. KA-BO-

"Tyler!" My english teacher snapped slamming his book down on the table. I shot up opening my eyes.

"Yes sir!" I said saluting.

"Don't give that crap to me, where's your books?" He said.

I looked at my teacher. He had a big thick mustache and grey hair. Thin fella he was as well.

"Sorry it's just... I had my locker tipped this morning and my books were vandalized.

"Oh... Well uh at least it's the last two periods of the day. I'll get you a pen and paper." He said giving me a genuine smile.

"Thank you." I said returning the smile.

"It's been a rough day hasn't it?" Pinkie said her head slumped over on the table.

"For us both... I'm sorry this happened to you." I said turning to Pinkie.

"You don't have to be sorry like you said it happened to us both." Pinkie said turning her head giving me a nice smile. I smiled back making my heart feel all warm and fuzzy.

"Here you go." The teacher said returning with a pen and some paper.

"Thank's." I said taking them from him. I let out a sigh and leaned back on the chair resting against the wall. Pinkie copied me leaning back.

"I wish we did what you said the other day." I said.

"You mean the mall?" Pinkie said.

"Yeah I wish we were both there right now you know, doing things..." I said putting my head down.

"What sort of things?" Pinkie said.

"Oh well you know you thought of them." I said.

Pinkie rolled her eyes. "Well maybe, but I hear want to hear it from you!" Pinkie said. Pinkie leaned forward scooting over towards me and

leaning back again on the chair holding my hand. I begun to blush.

"Well... first I would buy you something to eat." I said.

"Like?" Pinkie said.

"Um... A salad? I don't know your a horse. Horses don't eat meat." I said.

"I'm a pony and pony's can digest meat." Pinkie said crossing her front legs.

"No they- wait are actually serious." I said. Pinkie nodded feeling smart. "Huh... well in that case I would buy you all the hamburgers and

hot dogs you could eat!" I said pouncing on her tickling her.

"EEEEEHHHH!" Pinkie squealed holding her sides as I tickled her. "I'm gonna- Tyler I'm gonna fall!" Pinkie said squirming about in her chair. I let go of her and we both recovered from laughing and Pinkie being tickled. We leaned back and Pinkie threw a big abrupt hug around my waist.

"What else would you do for me?" Pinkie said closing her eyes in harmony.

"Um..." I said feeling shy. "I would win you the biggest, fluffiest, cutest toy I could find you. And I do mean win it for you. I could always

buy you something, but winning you something is way more manly. Isn't that what you want Pinkie a manly man?" I said.

"Your charmingly pathetic, and that's all I need." Pinkie said moving further onto my lap.

"Well then i'm honored and offended." I said earning a laugh from Pinkie Pie.

"After your now stuffed on hot dogs and hamburgers and you now have the biggest fluffiest toy I could win you, you can't actually hold it yourself so I had to hold it for you. But then for our next stop I would... take you to a... a barber... where I would get all your hair shaved off."

"HAW!" Pinkie said springing upwards holding her hair.

I laughed at Pinkie's reaction. "I was almost asleep!" Pinkie said in shock.

"I'm sorry Pinkie you know I love your hair I could never shave it off. Come back, you can go back to sleep I promise." I said holding

out my hand.

"No thank you I think I'd have nightmares." Pinkie said leaning forward. I let out another little laugh as Pinkie starred forward probably thinking about what she would look like having a hairless head.

"How is your hair so curly? I said grabbing a lock of it.

"It's a secret." Pinkie said.

"Pinkie it's not a secret. Come on tell me." I waited for a response, but instead Pinkie starred off into the distance smiling knowing what she was doing.

"Oh well it's probably not even a secret at all."

Pinkie's eye's popped open. "No there is a secret!" Pinkie said turning around in her chair.

"Then prove it to me." I said.

"OK fine but you gotta come closer though." Pinkie said waving her hoof towards her face. I leaned my head in. "Closer." Pinkie said. I leaned my head in further smiling. "Little closer." Pinkie said. Pinkie looked around nervously and then put her arms around my neck putting her mouth to my ear. "It's because of all the noodles I eat." Pinkie said.

"OHHHH No it isn't Pinkie." I said bringing my head out of Pinkie's mouth.

"It's true!" Pinkie said laughing.

"No it isn't." I said folding my arms and shaking my head.

"It is! You know how when you get the noodles and how there all curly!" Pinkie said.

"Yeah, but then you cook them and there not curly!" I said holding out my hands.

"Oh well don't believe then." Pinkie said crossing her front legs together turning away.

"Whether I believe you or not it clearly doesn't matter" I said

"Why doesn't it matter?" Pinkie said sounding interested turning back around.

I grabbed a large chunk of Pinkie's hair in both hands "Because you my dear are too beautiful to have your hair anything but curly. Curly hair is the best hair." I said kissing her on the nose. Pinkie tried to hold down the blush but couldn't.

"Tyler I-" Pinkie was interrupted by the school bell.

I opened my eyes and kids were getting up leaving handing there papers to the teachers. I looked down at my work and grabbed it and my bag walking over to the teacher.

"Here you go." I said to the teacher.

"Hold on." The teacher said examining my work. I turned around and looked at him. "Never mind, it's all there." He said. I nodded and walked off.

I walked out the room and out into the hallway. This building was furthest away from any other part of the school so it mean't an extra long walk home. I walked out the building down the steps. I stopped and looked around for a bit. "Something doesn't feel right." I said cautiously. I waited a bit more and shrugged walking off.

Suddenly someone put there arm around my neck and started dragging me. I begun choking from shock. "What the fuck!" I shouted sounding all wheezy.

I tried punching who ever was holding on to me, but I couldn't reach them. Suddenly Zach walked in front of me and picked up my legs. "What the fuck are you guys doing!" I said losing air.

I was dragged behind the building I just left and the two dropped me. I let out a breath for air and stood up. "What are you crazy!? What is this?!" I shouted.

"Can it." I heard Chris say. I looked around and looked over at a crate with some barrels and saw Chris sitting down on the crate still covered in mud and crap. Actually they were all still covered in mud and crap.

"Why are you guys still covered in mud?" I said.

"I said can it!" Chris said raising his voice hoping off the crates. I did as he said and backed up against the wall in fear as Chris came closer

towards me.

"You got me wet!" Chris said.

"Oh I bet I did." I said.

Chris went to open his mouth but then just shook his head. "Shut up! Your getting what you deserve." He shouted.

"What do I deserve?" I said sort of scared.

"You got us wet and muddy making us look fools in front of everybody! Now your getting what your owe'd." Brad said taking a step forward. I was surrounded by all 3 of them all wet and cold looking like a bunch of drugged up dip shits and it couldn't of been funnier.

I let out a howl of laughter holding my stomach. "OH MY GOD ARE YOU THREE FUCKING IDIOTS FOR REAL!" I said laughing so hard I fell to the ground.

"Oh yeah look at us were big and tough aren't we for dragging the kid on the news behind this building and beating him up because... BECAUSE WE GOT WET BECAUSE OF HIM!? Why didn't you just go the office and get you clothing changed?" I said recovering from just how stupid this is.

"W-were not pussy's who need help from teachers just because we got wet!" Chris said getting in my face.

"OK, but beating up the guy who got you wet doesn't make you look like Pussy's? Besides going to the office for a change of clothes doesn't make you look like a Pussy it makes you look like a human being with at least 2 working brain cells. At best." I said.

"Yeah well you still embarrassed us in front of everyone out there. You know what it's like to have everyone look at you and laugh?" Zach said.

"I dunno Zach do I? Maybe I felt the same way when I came walking in and had the whole school point and laugh at me. I've had nothing but crap because of what happened last night and you don't see me bitching and moaning do you? I got it the worst you three got wet and could of changed your clothes and gone home! Seriously Zach why did you become friends with these 2 losers? We've known each other since the first grade. What made you think it would be a good idea to have these two guys as your friends? Zach your better than this. Zach looked away rubbing his arm.

"You think your so smart horse fucker don't you? Because your good with words and think your smarter than the rest of us. What makes you think your gonna talk your way out of this!" Chris said.

"Of course I'm smarter than you you thought that the letter I was spelt e-y-e till the third grade! I don't now how you guys haven't suffocated on your own tongues yet? And how would you plan to get away with this? I mean so your plan is to beat me up, leave me here and get away with it?" I said.

"Uh..." Chris drawled.

"Then I wake back up and remember what happened and tell the teachers." I said.

"And what will they do?" Chris said thinking he's so smart.

"... call the police." I said flatly.

"Well what are they going to do? I can't go to jail i'm under 18." Chris said scoffing to himself.

"You'll got to Juvie! Not to mention you'll have that against you for the rest of your life." I said.

"Well then I'll beat you so you don't tell anyone! How bout that!" Chris said putting his finger in my face.

"So let me get this straight. Your idea to stop me from telling anyone you beat me up is by beating me up? I don't really think it

matters you beat me up for I'm still going to tell someone." I said pushing Chris's finger out of my face.

"That's it! I've had enough!" Brad said pushing past Chris. Brad lunged his fist back and went to go punch me in the face. I screamed and ducked Brad punching the hard metal wall.

"FUCK! That hurt!" Brad practically screamed sounding like a dying lion or something.

"Hey whats going on here?" A teacher said leaning out a window. This was it, my chance to get away. I grabbed Zach pushing him into Chris and sprinted off in the direction home.

"No!" Chris yelled pushing Zach away sprinting after me. I looked behind me and could only see Chris following me. Zach ran a different

direction and Brad fell to the ground crying in agony. "I'm not letting you get away!" Chris yelled.

"Then you'll die trying!" I yelled back. I sprinted as fast as I could running in among other buildings. The storm had passed but there were

plenty of puddles and leaves and crap around me.

I ran into the middle Chris no less than half a meter away. I took a sharp left and ran past a group of people just about to pass me. I

looked behind me and saw Chris run into them.

"Move!" He shouted pushing a girl out of the way. I kept running between two building side by side. I had to make a choice. Left or right. I

swerved to the right and just missed a guy carrying a stack of boxes.

"Watch it!" The guy shouted looking behind him at me. I stopped and watched Chris fall into that guy. Chris fell and rolled into a fern while

the other guy didn't fall over but all his boxes spilled along the floor. I stood frozen and watched Chris get up out of the fern.

Chris's breathing was heavy as he got up holding his left shoulder that had blood pouring down it. "Your mine!" He shouted running again. I got scared and turned around bumping into an open door. It must of been the one that boxes guy came from. I went in the door and closed it behind me.

"Hey you can't be in here!" One of the canteen lady's shouted. I turned around and realized I was in the canteen with about 4 different women. It was a nice shiny kitchen with lot's of oven's fridges and and packed up boxes.

Suddenly Chris burst in threw the door huffing and wheezing. One of the lady's screamed. He looked around and saw me and slowly limped towards me. "There... is... nowhere... for you now!" Chris yelled winding up a punch. I was backing up in the kitchen when I happened to look to my right and saw a fridge. I grabbed the freezer door and swung it open smacking Chris in the face.

Chris stood there with a shocked look on his face and a big red mark in the middle of it. Slowly Chris fell back on the floor with a thump. I stood there shocked, happy, scared, worried and more importantly feeling like Nathan Drake in a pub brawl.
