O4: Don't look at me
Mommy?! (Author)
I'm kinda sad...
Mommy?! (Author)
No one's reading this book
Mommy?! (Author)
But I'll keep writing anyway
Mommy?! (Author)
Enjoy the episode
Just a few minutes left until the first period starts.
Outside, Milo arrives at school, looking up at the dreadful building from his place in his mum's car.
He mentally prepares himself for the excruciating day ahead.
Milo (Ml)
💭 Welp. Let's get this shit-show over with
Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)
Have a great day today, honey! ☺
Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)
Remember to have fun
Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)
And~
She leans closer to Milo, cupping her lips.
Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)
*whispers* Just an insight
Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)
The ladies don't like sourpusses
Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)
So make sure to hit them with your million dollar smile
Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)
And they'll fall like flies drugged on insecticide
Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)
Darlene Mintz (Milo's mother)
Go get 'em, tiger!
She fondly pinches his cheek.
Milo (Ml)
I'll make sure to remember that
Milo (Ml)
See you after school
After strapping on his bag, Milo shuffles out of the car and makes his way over to the school gates.
As soon as he steps into the school's busy hallway, he's hijacked by an arm that slings around his neck.
His face is crushed into a sturdy chest and his glasses almost slide off his nose.
A sound of discomfort leaves him as he looks up, wanting to know who just grabbed him like a bloody lunatic.
The familiar face he sees makes him sigh internally.
Milo (Ml)
💭 F☆ck. Not this guy...
Milo (Ml)
💭 It's too early for this
Bryce Hale (Milo's bully #1)
Well, well, well
Bryce Hale (Milo's bully #1)
If it isn't Milo the twerp
Bryce Hale (Milo's bully #1)
Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting for you to get here?
Bryce Hale (Milo's bully #1)
Tell him, Tristan
Tristan McCain (Milo's bully #2)
Like totally over 10 minutes
Tristan McCain (Milo's bully #2)
'Think we've got all day to waste on your sorry ☆ss, you loser?
The boy named Tristan smacks the back of Milo's head, smirking when he sees him wince in pain.
The other one named Bryce cackles, obviously enjoying this.
Bryce Hale (Milo's bully #1)
He was probably having so much fun hanging out with 'mummy' he lost track of time
Bryce Hale (Milo's bully #1)
Hey, tell me something, half-wit
Bryce tightens his buff arm around Milo's neck.
Bryce Hale (Milo's bully #1)
Who still gets rides from their parents at this age?
Bryce Hale (Milo's bully #1)
When are you going to grow up?
Bryce Hale (Milo's bully #1)
We're juniors now. Get that through your thick skull sometime, hmm?
He jabs his index finger into Milo's forehead over and over again.
By now, Milo's face is paler than a ghost, and he can't stop his body from trembling.
He can see some students watching the entire scene happen but no one's stepping in to help him.
Milo (Ml)
Please s-stop...
Milo (Ml)
I'm sorry I didn't get here earlier, okay?
Milo (Ml)
But first period hasn't even started yet
Milo (Ml)
I did the homework just like you asked. The worksheet is in my bag
Milo (Ml)
I'll give it to you
Milo (Ml)
... S-so let me go
The two jocks share a glance before bursting into a laugh.
Bryce Hale (Milo's bully #1)
Getting better at negotiating, aren't you, Milo boy?
Bryce Hale (Milo's bully #1)
I knew you had it in you
Tristan McCain (Milo's bully #2)
*scoffs* Bro's probably trying to save himself from getting a beating haha
Tristan McCain (Milo's bully #2)
Spineless loser
Milo bites down on his tongue, refusing to say anything else or let their harsh words affect him.
He calmly takes out the worksheets from his bag and holds them out for Bryce to take.
Bryce snatches the papers, scanning through them.
Bryce Hale (Milo's bully #1)
Hmmm, looks accurate
Milo (Ml)
💭 Yeah, like you understand anything written in there. F☆cking troglodyte.
Bryce Hale (Milo's bully #1)
*smirks* Good work as always
Bryce Hale (Milo's bully #1)
Don't be late next time or I'll make you regret it
Bryce Hale (Milo's bully #1)
You know the rules
Bryce spits, patting Milo on the cheek.
He shoves past him, walking down the hallway. Probably to get to his first class.
Tristan trails after him, not before glaring at Milo like he's a repulsive bug.
Knowing that those two maniacs are finally gone, the brunette boy sighs in relief.
Milo (Ml)
You're the ones who'll regret this
Just then, Milo gets the feeling of being watched.
He follows his instincts, looking in a random direction.
He's kinda taken aback when he locks eyes with the last person he was expecting.
Bianca (Fl)
*staring at him*
Milo (Ml)
💭 That popular girl, Bianca Ford?
Milo (Ml)
💭 Why's she looking at me?
Milo (Ml)
💭 Did she see everything that just happened?
Milo looks around and behind him, trying to figure out if the weird girl was actually staring at him or someone else.
Then, Bianca breaks eye contact and goes back to talking with her friends.
Milo can hear a bit of their conversation.
Bianca (Fl)
Yes what a genius idea! 😃
Bianca (Fl)
You do that and regret it ten years later when you're no longer in your webnovel/webcomics phase
Milo sighs, for the thousandth time this morning.
He starts walking to his first class.
Milo (Ml)
💭 Must be nice having the liberty to talk with friends before class starts
Milo (Ml)
💭 I hate everyone in this school...
