Glancing down, I stare deeply at the black apple seed. I heard the others talking, If I put this into the ground, it will grow more food for me. How stupid of that Mr to give me things for free. 

"Oi." Suddenly someone attacked me. I was kicked from behind, my face smack hard into the dirt. It hurts, my knees seem to be hurt. They're bleeding. Tears fill my eyes, I can't see. 

"Give us that coin!" I don't know who said that but I find myself pulled up, two others holding my arms up. They look to be around 13-15 years old. There's five of them, there's no hope I can't fight them. "Are you deaf!?" He punched me in the stomach again. My innards threaten to puke up the apple I had eaten. I force whatever bile in my throat back down. I can't waste food!

The smart one of the group started rummaging through my rags. Another punch lands on my stomach. The thief finds the coin I received from Mr, snatching it away. My tears finally fall, my eyesight returns.

I engrain their faces into my mind. "I'll get you for this, I'll remember this!" I internally declared. Another punch in my gut snapped my attention back.

"I got it boss! Here! Look!"

"Good job Sayson, lets go gang. Leave this waste of space where it belongs."

Having taken the coin, their assault ends. I fall to the ground. I'm sore all over, someone just spat on me. My eyes begin to close, It's better if I stay quiet, if not. They'll hit me more for fun. I saw the look in his eyes. He's drunk on power, the power to bully the weak. The weak that is me...

"Mr Chamberson..."  I whimpered...
