Billy the octopus has just moved to a new town 

to start over...again. 

He never made any real friends at school 

because he was constantly moving from place 

to place. 

Ocean 

Elementary

He was just about to start school at Ocean 

Elementary for the first time as a second 

grader. 

Billy swims to the front door and enters the 

office along with his mother, Mama Octopus. 

“Hello, my son, Billy, is starting school today 

here...do you mind helping us?” politely asked 

Mama. 

“I would gladly help you” says the principal Mr. 

Crab. “You will be in Mrs. Bass’s class. Room 

123. If you have any problems, just come to 

my office. Good luck!”

Billy swims to the class. 

He is a bit embarrassed since he is the new 

kid. 

Everyone stares as he enters. Mrs. Bass 

politely introduces him to the class and tells 

him to take a seat in the back of the room. 

He had entered in the middle of math class, so 

they were learning about math. 

Billy wasn’t so good at math, so he tried to pay 

attention. 

As hard as he tried, he just couldn't’t stay 

concentrated...why?

Jake and Nick.  

Jake and Nick were the two tiger sharks in the 

class. 

Billy soon realized that they were the bullies. 

They kept making fun of him...because of his 

scar.

When Billy was really little, he got separated 

from his mom in the Fish Store. Because he 

was so little, he was very scared. 

A shark approached him when the shark 

realized that little Billy was lost. 

He told Billy he knew were his mom was, so 

Billy followed. 

The shark took him into a closet and did some 

terrible things. 

He attacked Billy, and very hard. 

Billy managed to get out of the closet right 

before the final bite, but he was still left in 

very bad condition. 

Billy got bit right on the face. 

The Planktionmedics managed to cure Billy, 

but he had a scar left on his face forever. 

Billy was always teased for his scar, but 

nothing that hurt his feelings as bad as what 

Jake and Nick were saying. 

They called him one word that pierced Billy’s 

heart and made it feel like it was broken into 

two. 

All they said was...

Loser.

Billy never liked the word Loser. It meant such 

horrible things like wimpy and babyish. 

Every day Jake and Nick would tease him in 

class, always during math time. 

"Ugly"

"Baby"

"Meany"

"Shellfish"

"8 armed freak"

"Loser" 

After that first day, Nick and Jake teased Billy 

every day. They taunted him all the time with 

such offensive names, but the worst was 

always "loser".  

No one ever really realized that Billy was being 

bullied, except for one creature.

Willy. 

Willy always knew that the two sharks were 

bullies, because he was their old victim. Willy 

was the new kid last year, and Jake and Nick 

picked on him all the time, but now was Billy's 

turn. 

He was too scared to stick up for Billy because 

of the fear of Jake and Nick coming back for 

revenge, so he never said anything. 

Willy realized Billy had no friends and 

understood how much pain that was. So, Willy 

talked to Billy.
