Mira
I'm sitting right now in my chair, scrollig through my phone when I heard screams outside. It must be Ethan they're screaming at. I continued scrolling then our classroom door opened.
Ethan and his friends enter the room and there's someone who came last. It was Cedric. He's always quiet unlike Ethan and his other two friends who are loud. He's also a top achiever and most of all handsome. He's not joining them in bullying me. He's different from them, I don't know if how did he became friends with those bullies.
They're making their way towards their chair at the back when they say " Hi " to me.
What? Did they just said Hi? Are they not gonna bully me? Or are they not gonna laugh at me? Woah! the sun rise towards the west today. Kidding, maybe it's one of their schemes again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's break time, I was early this time so I get to use a table only for me. I'm sure no one wants to sit with me anyway. But to my surprise, there are three person sitting right in front of me. None other than, Ethan and his friends except Cedric whosee still ordering his food. He search for his friends and his eyes landed on our table. He then came and also sit. He gave me a small smile and I shyly smiled back.
Not long after, we heard everyone's wisphering about us or me.
" Why are they sitting with her? Maybe they're planning something, this will be exciting "
" Maybe they're bullying her again, nothings new "
" Here comes our everyday entertainment show "
I was busy playing with my food. Duh! I can't eat it in front of them. Who knows what they're thinking or what they're gonna do.
I caught them glancing with one another like they are talking with their eyes except for Cedric whose busy eating and not minding their business. Then Marco cough and I look at them.
Marco: * cough * Uhhmmm..... Fat Mi---- Uhhh, I mean Mira, we're not here to tease you. We're here to make peace with you and also to say sorry for..... for...... uhhhmmm what we've all done to you "
It made me stop eating and look at him. Even Cedric stopped eating and continue listening.
Kevin: " Marco's right. We're not here to humialate you. So....... sorry also Mira bullying you "
Ethan: " All they said was right. I also want to ask your * inhale * * exhale * * sigh * for * inhale * for * exhale * forgiveness...... Hoooooo! "
Are they even mean it? I'm still looking at them and still processing all of what they just said. And also waiting if they're gonna still speak. Honestly, I doubt them. Imagine! they bully me and humiliate me for entirely three fvcking years. Then, suddenly they come right in front of me and say sorry in front of my face!!!
Mira: " *sigh * is this one of your schemes again? "
Kevin and Marco: " No, no no " ( waving their hands )
Ethan: " Don't get us wrong. We know it's truly hard to believe. But believe us we're really sorry "
He then look at Marco like saying something. Then, Marco stood up and said,
Marco: " Listen everyone, anyone who dares to bully Mira starting today will have to fight us too. Listen, she has our back from now on. And don't you all dare "
What? Did he really said that? I'm still now in shock and processing what he did just said. Are they not ashamed of what they're doing?
Then, Elsie and her minions enter the cafeteria, all eyes on her while walking towards they're reserved table. Her eyes landed on us mainly Ethan, she then smiled sweetly like she meant something.
Well, I don't care! All I care now is my peace. We're just few months away before summer vacation, then they're ruining my peace again!!
What a life! When can I have a peaceful school year?
