You've always been a nerd, you had all sorts of niche interests, videogames, books, mangas. Rather they weren't niche interests, but people made it seem like you were the biggest loser for liking those things. You lived in a small town that was very old fashioned, so no wonder you were getting bullied just for being "different".

School had always been a nightmare to you. The mean girls and the popular jocks always had it with you. They would constantly pick on you and then make it your responsibility to do all of their homework and tests. You didn't want to make your situation any worse, so you never stood up for yourself. John knew that, and he hated seeing you get mistreated constantly. You've never met him, you didn't know who John was. But you were going to.

One day, after the mean girls humiliated you in front of everyone, you ran away in tears. You lived out of the city and since it was mid-way through the school day, there were no buses for you to take home. You were just walking home with tears streaming down your eyes and shame burning in your chest. A white truck drives past you, which isn't anything new since you were approaching the country side already, but you'd never seen this one specifically.

You eyes widened once you saw Ella, the mean girl that had humiliated you today. She was banging on the glass of the truck, hands bloodied and begging for help. Outside of the truck was John, big and towering, with a bloodied hockey mask on. He waved at you, before throwing your way the nerdy book Ella had taken from you while humiliating you that day. "I'm guessing that's yours."
