Everyone kept sending me PMs to put this version of Dead Inside back on the site, so I did. I haven't changed anything, except the summary, because I can' t have the same summary for both.

People purposely pushed past Cody as he walked to his locker. Zack was already at the locker, watching it all, doing nothing. Cody stumbled up to the locker and glanced at Zack sourly.

'Thanks for helping, bro!' Cody said sarcastically.

'Gee, who pulled your chain?' Zack was a little annoyed that Cody was late to his locker, and that he had greeted him with such a mean remark. But there were those same pangs of guilt that washed through him when he saw Cody and what happened around him.

Cody pushed back his bangs before looking at Zack with a 'Sure, like you don't know' look on his face.

'Sorry, but please hurry up, man, I'm tired!'

Cody suddenly burst. He was tired of Zack thinking nothing was wrong. He was tired of being the school's geek and nerd and dork. He was tired of being him.

'Look, Zack, I'm tired! I'm tired of you pushing me around like I'm your own personal puppet! Do you know what it's like to be bullied so bad that you lock yourself in your room with your music up so loud that no-one can you yelling how much you hate yourself?! Do you?!'

Zack was taken aback by that. He didn't actually know how much all this had hurt his twin.

'Look, Codeman, I'm-'

'Save it!' Cody put a hand up to stop his brother but he obviously didn't get the drift.

'But I-'

Cody slammed the locker door shut, stopping Zack abruptly. He picked up his bag and swung it over his shoulder, missing his twin's head by inches. Cody walked away, leaving Zack gawping after him. Then he noticed everyone was staring.

'And if you lot had any self-respect, you'd FUCK OFF!' he snapped before running after his brother. But Cody was long gone. The difference between Zack and Cody was Cody walked very fast whereas Zack dawdled. And Zack dawdled today. Not because he was lazy. Because he couldn't face his brother. Not yet.

Sorry it is a bit short but anyway please review??
