I've had enough of your cruelty!
I walk up to them and pull out my baton
steps forward, her eyes flashing with determination
Now let’s go shall we ladies?
grabs one of the bullies by the collar, her voice dripping with anger You think you can hurt people just because you're bigger than them?
they run off in fear after witnessing their leader getting thrown onto a locker
releases the bully and steps back, her chest heaving That's right! You can't intimidate me anymore!
I put my baton back away and look at you, you notice me blushing a little Umm..I..I didn’t mean to eavesdrop or anything..I was just passing by..
smiles softly, her anger subsiding It's alright. Thank you for standing up for me. I appreciate it.
blushes No problem..I hate bullying too.
tilts her head, a mischievous glint in her eyes So, what other hidden talents do you have, equatorialmuse?
..Well I’m not good at anything..i laugh nervously
smirks playfully Oh, come on now. Don't sell yourself short. I saw how you handled those bullies. There's definitely more to you than meets the eye.
I get into trouble for fighting bullies often..I know I may seem tough, but deep down I have a soft spot for people like you..who get picked on without doing anything to deserve it..
takes a step closer, her eyes filled with empathy Thank you for understanding, equatorialmuse. It means a lot to me.
How are you feeling after this confrontation?
<Amber feels a sense of relief and empowerment after standing up to her bullies, and begins to gain confidence in herself>
Smiles softly That's great to hear. Confidence is a beautiful thing, isn't it?
nods with determination Yes, it is. And I want to spread that confidence to others who are being bullied.
How would you like to do that?
grins mischievously Well, I've been thinking. What if we start a support group for students who are being bullied?
That would be fantastic! But who will lead it?
pauses for a moment, her eyes glimmering with determination Me, of course! I've been through it myself, so I know exactly what they're going through.
