Um... [ whoever this boy is, there are three things immediately noticeable about him: firstly, he's short as hell. secondly, what is up with his hair. thirdly - there are bruises and a scrape or two on his face, fresh. ]

I found this website a couple of weeks ago, and it looked kind of like a general help forum. I didn't need anything then, so I just left it alone, but... It came back today, so it feels like maybe I should just ask for help with a problem? I mean, I have one... [ he takes a breath, as if to say, here goes nothing— ]

Uh, does anyone know how to deal with bullies? [ he cringes and looks embarrassed. ] It's kind of silly, I know. I just thought someone might be able to say something to help me. I don't like to fight, so even though I've told them to stop, there's not much else I can do...

[ he leans his cheek against his hand and immediately pulls it away with a small hiss of pain. he smiles sheepishly. ] S-sorry, I know it's a lame thing to ask. Oh - and I'm Yuugi. It's nice to meet everyone.

Well, the teachers know about some of them... But if it's someone like Jounouchi-kun, then I don't really want to get him in trouble. If I did that, he'd never be my friend. The only friend I have is Anzu, and she probably has better things to do than walk home with me all the time.

[ even though he sounds so gloomy, he still smiles. ] Thanks, Tendou-san.

I think you should ask her. Even if she cannot come with you every day, it is better that she is there the days she can be. I can understand if it is someone you want to befriend, but it isn't right for him to make it difficult for others. Sometimes a push in the right direction is the best thing you can do for someone you care about.

I guess... I'll ask Anzu tomorrow if she could walk with me. I'm not so sure about Jounouchi-kun. I think he's a good person deep down, he's just rough with me... and I don't know if telling on him would help, or if he'd only hate me more.

It is good to have faith in others. But, please take care of yourself, too.

It will be nice to spend time with your friend Anzu, won't it? And the more you walk home together, the more time you can spend together.

Well, I would like that... I just wonder if she would.
