Paulsen’s come back “Get him boy!!!” shouted Happy, to his dog Dirk. I ran for my life when I heard those exact words. At that point I knew that I was was going to get hurt, my heart was beating really fast that I could barely keep up. Happy and Dirk have been tormenting and mocking me ever since I came to this small town. Earlier I went to the store and he followed me, I went to school and he would torment me because we went to the same exact school. I had just moved to this town, and lived alone in a basement of an apartment building. Every day I go to work at a bowling alley/dinner and go to to school at Bradley Elementary School. I do this every day to earn money and have a good education. I also go to farms in the summer, in addition …show more content…

I punched Happy square in the face and ran away. As soon as I tried to run away Dirk bit me right on the back of my thigh and and teared my jeans and some of my flesh right off.

As soon as I went inside, Happy searched the building but couldn’t find me. He was furious, but me, I was relieved. Before work I put on under armour protection so that if Happy hit me, it wouldn’t hurt at all. When I got to work I saw Happy staring at me right in the eyes. I felt shivers down my spine like he was looking right through me. In my head I remembered that I had put on armour and protecting so I just began to smile. My cheeks were so far apart that it felt like i was being split in half. Happy stared at me with a confused look on his face thinking that I should be trembling with terror. He came up to me and tried to punch me right in the stomach but to me it felt like a slight tickle. He tried again, and harder, I just laughed because it felt like someone was tickling me very
