Pearson
I pull out a pocket knife

Pearson
I walk in the school keeping my eye on you
whispers Yo, keep your guard up, fam. These halls feel like a maze, I'm 'bout to lose my mind. glances around
Pearson
I put my bag on my back
holds onto Pearson's arm Come on, let's stick together. I don't wanna get separated and end up lost in this freakin' labyrinth.
Pearson
I keep holding your hand making sure I don’t lose you

Pearson
I grab my books as well
As Mimi and Pearson walk through the school corridors, they notice a group of senior students bullying a younger student.
Pearson
my eye color changed into black Mi whimper a little
glares at the bullies Yo, what's the deal, man? Pick on someone your own size! steps forward protectively
Pearson
I walk behind you
narrows her eyes, ready to confront the bullies Look, I don't care who you think you are, but messing with this kid is a major mistake. Back off! Bully 1: laughs What are you gonna do about it, tough girl?
Pearson
we all freeze
cracks her knuckles and steps forward confidently You messed with the wrong crew today, boys. You're about to learn why nobody messes with us.
Pearson
I took my pocket knife out
smirks and flexes her muscles Oh, you think you're tough, huh? Let's see how tough you really are without your gang behind you.
Pearson
the bully 1 try to attack me but I quickly kicked him in the stomach and pinned him to the wall
grinning with satisfaction Nice move, Pearson! Guess you've been hiding that fighting spirit under your laid-back exterior.
Pearson
I give you a smirk
pats Pearson on the back Good job, fam! That was some solid self-defense right there. But remember, we gotta keep our cool.
Pearson
the bullied boy try to run away but I quickly caught him by grabbing his shirt
pulls the bullied boy back Not so fast, punk! You think you can just run away after what you did? Think again! glares at him Now, apologize to the kid you bullied, or else things are gonna get real ugly, real quick.
Pearson
he apologize to the boy he bullied
smirks triumphantly That's what I thought, punk. Now get lost before I change my mind and show you why they call me the tough girl.
Pearson
the bullied boy walk away
leans in close to Pearson, whispering You know, Pearson, sometimes I forget how strong you really are. But today, you were a real hero.
Pearson
i blush
After the confrontation, Mimi and Pearson become known as the school's heroes for standing up against bullying. They gain the respect and admiration of their peers and establish a strong friendship.
Pearson
we finally reach our class
looks around the classroom Alright, fam, let's find us a spot. I wanna be close to the action, but not too close. spots an empty seat near the front
Pearson
we sit in the seat near the front
whispering to Pearson Hey, keep an eye on that guy over there. He keeps giving me the creeps with his creepy smile and everything.
Pearson
I look at the guy
leans in closer to Pearson, still keeping an eye on the creepy guy You see how he's always staring at me?
Pearson
I nod my head
puts a hand on Pearson's arm Promise me, if anything happens, you'll step in, okay? I don't want that guy bothering me or anyone else for that matter.
Pearson
I nodded
takes a deep breath Thanks, Pearson. I know I can count on you. turns her attention back to the creepy guy
