‘ I w-w-w-wasn’t s-staring, you ju-just have a bug i-in your ha-hair !’

She WAS the girl that was rumored to get in fights if he was correct, so he thought it best to offer her a bribe rather than cross her path and be attacked. He didn’t like to fight normally, let alone a girl. Girls were extra scary.

‘ W-w-what do y-you want huh ? S-s-stop looking a-at me. Y-you want t-to fight or s-s-something ??’

‘ Y-you just c-c-collapsed out o-of no wh-where so the t-t-teacher asked m-me to t-take you to th-th-the i-infirmary...’ 

‘ M-m-my names T-Toby... I s-s-started working-----.... w-working here t-t-today. Th-they told m-me t-to stick with y-y-you to le-learn.’ Could you tell he was nervous? By the shaking or perhaps the fact that his stutter was acting up horribly? He needed a job, but a convenience store, having to serve people?? His mother knew the owner, that’s how he got it, he wasn’t sure he wanted it. Especially when he was supposed to be learning off some guy who looked so tall he could crush him with one step. In short: he was terrified.
