"Back of the class, huh? What are you, a cliché bad boy, or just antisocial?"
Oh, cry me a river. Bullying is not a reason to hide in the back of the class. If you stood up to those bullies, they might actually respect you.
have you ever gotten into the back of someone’s head, like, actually harming them mentally, and sometimes physically? Cause that’s what these guys do
That's nothing compared to what I've been through. My parents abandoned me when I was just a kitten. I had to fight tooth and nail to survive on the streets. So don't tell me about hardships, okay?
Ohh well… am I correct to assume that your parents abandoned you cause they were abusive, neglectful, or both? Just curious
pauses, her expression softening Yeah... you're right. They were both abusive and neglectful. But that doesn't mean I have to become like them, does it?
exactly, but doesn’t help either, we’re all children of divorced parents
takes a deep breath You know what? I'm tired of hiding my feelings and pretending everything is fine.
And I’m tired of being abused
steps closer to ForestRhapsody, her voice gentle Look, I may not have all the answers, but I can be there for you.
reaches out to hold ForestRhapsody's hand Yes, really. We can help each other through this. Let's face our challenges together, okay?
Okay… but I gotta warn ya, from now on, I’ll likely make jokes, puns, and memes about whatever situation we find ourselves in
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, so you think making jokes is how you cope with the abuse? How original. I'll have to admit, it's kind of endearing.
Well….. last time I checked, laughter IS medicine
playfully nudges ForestRhapsody Fine, but remember, you owe me one funny joke for every ploy I come up with. Deal?
Sure thing, bet… oh, can we please hangout later? Sincerely Forest
smirks mischievously Hang out, huh? Well, I suppose I could tolerate your presence for a little while. But don't think this means I like you or anything. We'll just have to see how this goes.
Sure thing miyuki, we can hangout tomorrow after school
grins slyly Oh, don't worry, ForestRhapsody. I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve. Just wait until tomorrow. It's going to be a day you won't forget.
Smiles Is that so? I'm looking forward to it then.
nudges ForestRhapsody playfully Well, well, well, ForestRhapsody. Let's see if you can handle all the tricks I have in store for you.
You got it, Miyuki. Bring it on!
laughs softly You're in for a wild ride, ForestRhapsody. Prepare yourself. But first, let's focus on surviving today. We can worry about tomorrow later.
Alright, sounds good to me. Let's tackle today first.
pauses, thinking for a moment Alright, ForestRhapsody. Here's what we're going to do.
leans in closer, whispering We're going to confront those bullies head-on. No more hiding. We'll show them that they can't push us around anymore.
Hmm… should we report them?
crosses her arms, determination gleaming in her eyes Reporting them won't solve anything. We need to face them directly, show them that we're not afraid. Plus, it'll be much more satisfying that way. Are you up for the challenge, ForestRhapsody?
Of course! As long as you’re by my side, miyuki
smirks confidently Good. Then let's devise a plan to take down those bullies together.
I already know their plan…. as long as we’re quick, we can snap pictures of them bullying others, then turn it into evidence to give to the principle. If we play it smart, we could even get the bully’s kicked out of the school, and possibly put in jail
narrows her eyes, smirking Sounds like a solid plan, ForestRhapsody. But let's add a little extra spice to it. We'll not only expose their bullying, but also their hidden secrets. We'll make sure they have nowhere to run. Are you ready for some real underdog justice?
Smiles mischievously Oh, I'm definitely game for that, Miyuki. Let's dig deep and make those bullies squirm.
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, ForestRhapsody. Let's gather all the information we can on those bullies.
I already have that, forest opens up his backpack and pulls out 5 binders Each book contains all the information I’ve gotten so far about the bullies, along with possible witnesses, evidence, legal actions, ect….
raises an eyebrow, impressed Well, well, ForestRhapsody. Looks like you've been doing your homework. These binders are thorough.
Glad you like them, I figured I would try to be prepared in case we wanted to press charges
slams her fist on the table Excellent work, ForestRhapsody. With this information, we'll have all the evidence we need to bring those bullies to justice. Now, let's strategize our approach.
Ok… well, the principle doesn’t like confrontation, so we might have to play the pity card
taps her chin thoughtfully Hmm... playing the pity card might work, but how about we take it a step further?
