What I've Been Writing

Lately I've been working on my story called War (I'm going to write it into two books, though, so I'll change the first book's title.)  Why I haven't been posting much lately is because I'm in a writing club called NaNoWriMo, where I'm writing War, and I have to finish it in one week.  Less than one week now, actually.  So... I probably won't be posting new things on for a real long while.

Timothy Carrot

Timothy Carrot is a long-haired nine year old boy, who is the shortest kid in fourth grade, or maybe even shorter than both third and fourth graders, and it doesn't help that his last name is Carrot.  You could probably guess that he is bullied.  Everyday at school, he literally has a bully schedule.  First, he gets bullied on the bus, then lunch and recess, maybe during class, and then definitely after school.  So, you can tell that he lives a pretty miserable life.  He believes that he has absolutely no hope of good in the future, until a new girl named Amelia moves to his school.  That first day she comes at lunch, she immediately sits by Timothy and makes friends with him.  As the days go by, the people at school notice that he actually has a friend, and a friend that stands courageously up for him.  Everyone acts scared of Amelia, and if he stays close to her, no one will bully him.  It's as if an angel has come down from Heaven, and is protecting him no matter what happens.  But many months after she comes, she has to move away, out of the school boundaries, because of her dad's job.  Timothy's heart is broken, now no one is here to protect him, his hopes for having a better life are crushed.  She moves away and the bullying starts again.  Will the bullying keep up or will Timothy stand up for himself?
