@bcygenius is missing !!
eyebrows twitch downward, a hum of unintentional discontent arises. DON’T LIKE THIS PLACE — not at all ! always smells of armpit sweat / spoiled lunch. was it legal for a school to be so dirty ? there you go again, kaspbrak ! going on / on / on about things that will make you a LOSER in this school too. ( a fresh start, correct ? ) delicate eyelashes flutter, examining the boy before him. alex. ( his name is alex. ) wouldja take a look at that ! nameless boy across the hall cackles. CRUEL.wheezy / chokey having a little talk ! guess losers really do come in pairs of twos. if the same boy shoved past him too, eddie did not acknowledge it.
“    y’know …    “ voice falters within FIRST WORD. “    — they’re just ASSHOLES. i’ve — gotten worse.    “ worse is being chased while having asthma. worse is a knife threatening to slice you ( into itty bitty pieces ! ) worse is the bully with a name he cannot remember. WORSE IS DERRY, MAINE !
