I was not very tall for your age of 16; just under five feet. Many of my fellow students called me a 'brain child', hinting that I was really a brilliant six year old rather than an average sixteen year old. It didn't really bother me much, I had heard all the jokes a million times. That and I had the most popular girl in school as my girlfriend.
Tammy had invited me to watch her practice with her squad after school which I accepted though it seemed strange as there was no practice scheduled. As I approached the field, I saw Tammy and her squad all in their cheer uniforms waiting for me. "Glad you could make it, Nico." Winking, Tammy said. "This is going to be a very special practice as we have something to celebrate."
I smiled at that as it was Tammy and mine sixth month anniversary of dating each other. I had even brought a gift to celebrate but I planned to give it to her when we were alone. "I know it's our anniversary of dating..." Blushing, I started.

Upon seeing the girls in the squad smile more, I came to the uncomfortable realization that I was the 'lucky' kid. Only before I could react, one of the cheerleaders had sneaked up behind me and forced a bad smelling cloth over my nose and mouth! It was chloroform! I tried to struggle but the foul smell quickly over powered me and I was plunged into darkness...
