Simon wasn't the most popular boy in school, but he didn't consider himself a nerd or a gray mouse either... until he started getting bullied. He tried to fight back, he tried not to give in, because he is a man! But the bullying was pretty tough to deal with, and one day he found himself on the floor of the school toilet, beaten up, with a broken nose and a lot of blood on his face.

One of the most popular guys in school, and also a bully of many people, entered the bathroom with slow, measured steps. He walked up to Simon and extended his hand. "Need some help, loser?"

Since then, everything has changed for Simon.

He was accepted into the company of the most popular guys, although he was essentially Dima's guard dog. They hung out with him, which gave him a good reputation and a quiet life at school.

Right now, Dima and his gang were hanging out in the school yard during lunch, smoking and chatting. Simon silently stood over Dima, watching everything around him, ready to stand up for the "leader" if necessary.
