Fred discovers that he is now back in his twelve year old body. He is crossing the roof-walkway of the local school. The sprawling complex was run by the Monks of Kindness And Peace. A bunch of loonies, yes, but they made for great teachers. The looniest of them was whoever built this damn place. Fred had to cross a walkway two stories off the ground just to save five minutes between gym class and health class. The stone path was ten feet wide and had wrought iron fenching three feet high. Complicated patterns that always seemed to be in a different shape every time Fred crossed. Then the bullies appeared. Though the sky was bright blue and the trees that flourished on both sides gleamed in the light everything seemed to darken. Jeffrey and Adrian on one side. Adrian had a missing ear from a boar attack. Jeffrey used a cane after a previous victim broke his leg with a large rock. (Jeffrey was too dumb to learn from his mistakes). Lucas and George on the other. Lucas was albino and had an obsession with dissecting small animals, dead or alive. George had hit puberty early and used his muscle mass to pound on smaller kids. Rumor had it he wore women's underthings. These four idiots had had it in for him ever since he had ratted on them for stealing from first graders last year. Now they had finally mastered the concept of ambushes. (Took them long enough!) Fred was wary. He had taken a severe beating this day. George and Lucas smiled and advanced. Adrian started humming for some damn reason. What now?
