Ollie went up to his room to open the package that Nessa had given to him. A surprise gift from someone. He wondered who it could be, who knew it was his birthday, maybe Ti, or Haylie. It was a girl 'cause Nessa said 'she wanted it to be a surprise.'  Ollie looked around, there was no note. Curiosity getting the best of him he ripped the package open. There was a card inside, just a card, he picked it up.

The outside said, 'From Mommy, I love you.' Ollie opened in and a burst of something was sprayed in his face. He thought is smelled a little like peppermint before he fell off his bed and onto the floor, unconscious.

    Ollie sat in class trying real hard to concentrate on the teacher. He kept hearing the voices of the kids around him. One in particular stuck out to him. It belonged to the shape shifter in the back. He was always thinking rude things about Ollie and one day even pushed Ollie in the dirt.
    Today he heard the normal, "What a weirdo. Doesn't even have a family. What a freak. Look at him over there always sitting alone." Ollie shook his head and willed the voices to go away.  Of course, this never worked. Finally the bell rang. Ollie ran outside, happy to be alone. Unfortunately it didn't last long.

"Hey freak! Where you going?"

Ollie turned around to see his shape shifting bully standing right behind him. He ignored him and kept walking.

"Hey! I was speaking to you! What you gonna go run to your lame red eyed boyfriend?" The kid said, laughing to his friends at Ollie and Remy's expense.
    Ollie turned around, he didn't like to confront people but no one was allowed to make fun of Remy, not after everything Remy did for him.

"Take it back!" Ollie said right in front of the other kid.

He didn't back down. "Oh yea, or what, you gonna throw me into a tree? I'd like to see you try it."

Ollie was so fed up, and the rude comments from everyone weren't helping. What they were thinking was ten times worse than what they said. "I said stop!"  Ollie held his hands over his ears and sat on the ground. Trying to block out the noise.

The bully and his friends just laughed. "What a freak. No wonder his parents didn't want him. Wha-"

That was the last straw. Ollie was fed up, before he even knew what was going on, Ollie tackled the kid and punched him. He got at least two good punches in before the kid started to fight back. Then his friends got involved. Ollie knew he was losing. He was getting punched, kicked, and hit by at least 4 kids. In a last ditch attempt Ollie focused all his power on getting away. A force like the wind sent every kid flying a few feet away from him.

Ollie jumped up. He looked from the face to face, each kid staring at him from the ground. He didn't hear any thoughts, all he felt was their fear. They were afraid of him! Ollie turned and ran up to his room.
