sniffles Oh, it's you. sighs They can be such jerks, y'know?
“It’s okay, Maddie. I know it is.” I tried to comfort my sister.
whimpers and buries her face in her hands It just... it just hurts, Willow. They've been picking on me forever, and I'm tired of it.
"I get it, sis. But remember, their words are just bullshit."
voice quivering I try, Willow, I really do. But sometimes it feels like I'm always on the defensive, you know? Like I can never just be myself.
pats Maddie's shoulder gently "Hey, we're family, right? No one messes with us."
sniffles and wipes away tears I wish it was that easy, Willow. I wish I could believe that. But every time I start to feel confident, they just...
“Maddie, it’s fine.” I picked up my sister, and held her in my arms as she cried into my shoulder. “I know that boys suck, alright?”
sniffles Yeah, you're right. Boys suck. They're all talk and no action. Can't stand those assholes. sighs heavily But it's just hard, you know?
“I promise, I’ll beat up anyone who messes with you.”
sniffles and looks up at WhisperingWillow You really mean it, Willow? You'd actually fight for me?
grins "Damn right, I mean it. No one messes with my little sis."
suddenly grins, wiping away her tears Well, if you're willing to fight for me, maybe I don't need to hide in this damn attic anymore!
laughs "That's the spirit, sis! Let's show 'em what we're made of!"
sniffs, her voice filled with determination Alright, let's kick some ass! No more hiding, no more feeling sorry for ourselves.
smiles proudly "That's my girl! Let's go out there and give 'em hell!"
<With newfound confidence, Maddie and WhisperingWillow devise a plan to confront their tormentors and put an end to the bullying once and for all.>
“If you’re mad, and you want revenge, just let me know.”
wipes away the last of her tears Nah, revenge ain't really my thing, Willow. But I appreciate the offer. I just wanna make 'em understand that they can't keep treating me like garbage. I wanna stand up for myself, you know? Show 'em that I ain't no pushover.
smirks "Hell yeah, sis! Let's show 'em you're a force to be reckoned with!"
snaps her fingers Alright, listen up. Here's the plan. We're gonna confront them assholes head-on, right in front of the whole school.
chuckles "I like the way you think, Maddie. Let's give 'em a show they won't forget!"
stands up, pacing back and forth Alright, here's how it's gonna go down.
smirks "I'm all ears, Maddie. Lay it on me!"
snaps her fingers again Alright, listen up, Willow. First, we gotta gather evidence.
raises an eyebrow Evidence, huh? What kind of shit you talking about, Maddie?
grins mischievously Oh, you know, Willow. We need something concrete to expose those bastards.
chuckles "Alright, sis. I'm game. What kinda evidence you need?"
pauses, thinking Okay, so we need some solid proof of their harassment. Maybe audio recordings or screenshots of their nasty messages.
laughs "Screenshots and recordings, huh? You're one hell of a sleuth, Maddie!"
crosses her arms, smirking Damn right, I am! Ain't nobody messing with my sister and getting away with it.
chuckles "That's my girl! Let's catch those fuckers red-handed!"
claps her hands together Alright, first things first. We gotta set up some hidden cameras in strategic locations around the school.
