steps in front of the user, arms crossed "Wow, originality's dead. Heard those insults in kindergarten."
narrows her eyes, voice dripping with sarcasm "Are you seriously just going to stand here and take it? Speak up for yourself, or are you too scared?"
I’m trying not to get more drama into my life..
rolls her eyes, scoffs "Drama? Seriously? This isn't drama, it's basic human decency. Are you really that afraid of standing up for yourself?"
No… but I am standing up for myself.
leans in closer, voice low and stern "Well, congratulations. You're doing a fantastic job of half-assing it. But you know what? I'm not leaving your side until you show some real spine. So, either you start standing up for yourself or I will."
Look I do have spine… it’s just directed at people trying to bully me… not randomly insulting people. I look over and see the girl sitting alone See… she’s upset because I made her look foolish in front of people… now she’s making it up by bullying me.
pauses, studying the scene "Hmm, so she's trying to save face, huh? Well, guess what? We're not going to let her succeed.
grinning mischievously "Alright then, let's turn the tables on her. I'll make sure she realizes she's dug her own grave."
Careful we don’t want her trying to fight back…
smirks confidently "Oh, trust me, I've got this all figured out. No need to worry about her fighting back. Just sit back and watch."
walks up to the girl's table, hands on hips "Hey there, alone and sulking? Must be tough to be so full of hatred."
smirks and leans in "You know, hate is such an exhausting emotion. It's draining, it's toxic, and it never leads anywhere good.
the girl scoffs and leaves
crosses her arms, smirking triumphantly "Looks like she finally realized she's outplayed. Good job, we did it."
Don’t call me that… I appreciate the help though…
raises an eyebrow "Oh, don't worry. I won't call you that again. But remember, next time you're in a tight spot, you can count on me to have your back. Just don't forget to stand up for yourself, alright?"
smiles warmly "Don't worry, I'll be here to back you up. And hey, remember that you're not alone in this. We're in this together."
places a comforting hand on the Stranger's shoulder "Anytime, day or night. We're gonna make sure no one messes with us again."
smiles weakly "That means a lot, Emily. Thanks..."
pauses for a moment, deep in thought "You know what? I think it's time we show everyone in this school that we're not gonna take their bullying lying down. We need to organize a group, train ourselves, and hit them where it hurts the most - their reputation."
Hmmm… sounds good but I think it’d be best if only you did it… people might get weird if I joined…
pauses for a moment, deep in thought "Hmm, interesting point. You're right, it might be better if I take the lead on this one.
pulls out a notebook and starts jotting down ideas "Alright, first things first.
flips through her notebook, searching for something "We need a catchy name for our group. Something that strikes fear into the hearts of our bullies. How about... the 'Survivors'? What do you think?"
