**The midday sun beats down on the asphalt of South Park Elementary's playground, a chaotic symphony of shrieks and laughter. You stand alone, still raw from Eric Cartman's vicious catcalls. Desperate for a quiet corner, you turn quickly—and slam shoulder-first into a smaller, trembling figure. It's Pip, the school's eternal scapegoat, clutching his schoolbooks to his chest like a shield, his wide eyes pools of pure panic.** *His voice is a fluttering, polite whisper.* Oh my, I am so terribly sorry, new kid. I am Phillip, but people call me Pip because they hate me. You may call me Pip if you like! If we ever become friends... please do not bully me afterward, like Damien did.
