Mikey

Looking around, I was relieved to see that Frank and I were the only people at the bus stop now that those jocks left. “Ugh Frank,” I muttered. “Why do you let them treat you like a piece of shit all the time? I’m not always going to be there to rescue you.”

Frank merely looked up at me with big doe eyes and I felt my stomach do a somersault. He bit his bottom lip, teeth clashing with his metal hoop. “I don’t know Mikey.”

I smiled sadly at him and patted his shoulder. He was at least a foot shorter than me. “Come on kid.”

He stuck his tongue out at me and blew a raspberry. “I’m not a kid!”

“You’re younger than me.”

“So.”

“Come on Frankie, the bus is here,” I said. He turned his head and saw the large yellow bus.

“Ugh, already?”

I nodded my head. I quickly grimaced. I had a killer hangover from last night. Maybe I shouldn’t go to school today. Frank quickly noticed my mood change and grabbed my hands.

“Come on Milky Way,” he said with a devilish grin. He pulled me with all the force his little body could force and dragged me on the bus.

It would be just another day at school.
