Chapter 10

Burning Hatred

This story starts off in Lyndhurst, New Jersey, with a young man named Larry Swanson. He isn’t your everyday, ordinary kid. He’s a little different. The category you would put him in would be called gothic or emo. He pretty much keeps to himself and only has one friend. The friend’s name is Jessica. Her style is a little on the punk rock side, but she is nothing like Larry or, as she calls him, Elly. A childhood nickname she gave him that he hates. She was fun, energetic and Larry, let’s say he was a bit on the frail side. They grew up together, and as much time as they spent together, they were nothing alike. Jessica had no problem speaking her mind and making new friends. She had a dry sense of humor, some say sarcastic, while Larry had no sense of humor whatsoever but somehow they where the best of friends.

Larry’s is the only child and his parents are very successful in their careers. The father has a very successful business in exports, and the mother is a top realtor realtor within her firm. Most of thetime they’re not home and they don’t participate much in Larry’s life. They’re more work oriented than a loving family. They work late nights and leave early in the mornings. Being an only child, Larry pretty much gets whatever he wants. They gave him a credit card so they didn’t have to go with him to buy whatever he wants. Although Larry has all the money a kid could ever want, he was still very different from all the other kids, which made him a target for picking on.

Larry wasn’t new to being bullied or being picked on, but most of the time Jessica was there to defend him. He never asked for her help and he never thanked her either, but she knew he appreciated it even if he never said so.

One day at school during lunchtime, Larry and Jessica were sitting at a lunch table when one of the main kids that picked on him knocked over his food and acted like it was an accident.

The kid’s name was Jeff, and he always hung out with his two friends Mike and Todd. They constantly picked on and bullied Larry. Jessica would always come to Larry’s defense so they started doing it when she wasn’t around. Jeff used to make fun of Jessica’s style at first but then realized she was pretty cute. He actually started being really nice to her and would pretend to be nice to Larry when she was around.

Normally Larry wouldn’t do anything when Jeff picked on him, but this time it was different. When Larry’s food got knocked on the ground, he stood up out of his seat and gave Jeff a look of disdain. Larry didn’t say a word, he just stood there looking at Jeff with his fist clenched. All the kids in the lunch room turned to them expecting a fight.
