As per usual, the hallways were quiet, as most of the students were in the cafeteria There usually wasn’t anything to do during free time like this, but the silence was interrupted by Zip, the only girl of the bully trio. She was singing a tune to herself as she turned the corner. Her dinosaur-like tail swayed around behind her cheerfully. She held Abbie, one of the dumber students of Paper School, over her head. He was trying to break out of the ropes she had tied him in, but he was pathetically weak and didn’t get far.

Abbie: P-put me down, Zip! Please!

He pleaded, not enjoying the fact he was tied up and being carried over her head. Zip let out a small hum, as if she was actually considering it. She responded bluntly, a smug smile on her face.

Zip: Nope! And quit squirming before you throw me over, “apple-head”

She giggled as she kept walking, holding Abbie proudly over her head like he weighed absolutely nothing. He pouted, offended by the sudden jab at the apple stem growing out of his head.
