THE INCIDENT

Daryl POV

The Birds are Chirping it is a wonderful morning, I went downstairs and I saw my loving mother brewing some coffee for her and my father when I saw she kiss my father’s cheeks and she sat on her chair and talk, day by day I can see my father is getting paler and paler whenever I ask what the reason is they will just shrug it off or will simply say just because of a bad weather. I went to my mother and hugged her. I said good morning to my father and I did the same. I ate my breakfast and went to school. Today is a good day. I can feel it, because today those bitches are gone. I was walking and there I saw the little brat who was staring at the boys like they are alien I laugh at her expression, I think for her whatever the boys are trying to say to her is boring, she didn’t pay attention to them at all, and when she saw me she waved her hand and smile at me like a fool. What an i***t I told myself.

I run toward her and smack her head but not in a heavy way so that she will not be hurt, and she kicks my leg in a playful way, after the encounter with those bitches this is like our everyday routine. But something is different whenever I look behind our back there are some guys who are following us or should I say Christine, do they have some bad intentions? That I am not sure of, but when she looks at them they will blush and smile at her and she will just stare at them like an i***t.

During our lunch I was waiting for Christine outside the comfort room. This girl ate something that caused a stomach ache and needed to go to the comfort room in order to release the excess food that she ate. While I was waiting there were couples of boys who came near me. I admit they are taller than me and said “Hey you are a friend of Christine right? “ I looked at him and said “Yes, so what do you want?” Does she like someone? I like her, I heard everything that happened in your classroom and I was in awe when I heard that someone who is a quiet and shy girl like her would kick a teacher, so does she like someone?” he asked me. I stared at him and said “why are you asking me, because Christine and I are friends? You should ask her, I have no right to say what she feels or what is in her mind, and don’t bother her, you are the guys who is talking to her this morning if I am not mistaken” Gee just chill out, I am just asking a question if Christine like someone he said, when I am about to answer hos question Christine went outside the comfort room and said “ If I like someone it is none of your business, this guy is my best friend, she came beside me; and don’t ever come near him again, I know you do not have an ill intentions but mister this guy beside me right now is the most important person, and when someone tried to hurt him or even bully him but if ever I heard that you want to hurt my friend just like what you did to your friend I will not hesitate to kick your balls if you know what I am talking about” and she smiled at him in a creepy way. He looked at Christine and patted her head and said okay little missy we will keep that on our mind.

Christine and I walked toward our classroom and I asked her “Do you know who they are?”

“Yes I know them and I saw and heard what they are doing to those people who are younger than them, they are a bunch of bullies who don't know what is right and wrong, and they will do everything as long as they can feel that they are superior to you.” she said while looking at her bag and you are not scared of them? I asked her and her answer surprised me.

“Why would you think that I would be scared of them? I am a fighter. I already kicked out the teacher. Do you think those bunch of idiots will scare me?” “Okay what is happening since when did you get tough” I asked her

She looked at me and said, “Since those classmates of ours want to hurt you, because you want to defend me or should I say since you played a prank on them” and we both laugh. She pulled out a bunch of cookies and 2 tumblers that are full of milk and said let’s have a dessert. Seriously this girl will look like a pig someday, but she will be my cute little playmate pig.

After a long hours of class I forced Christine not to go home yet. I forced her to play with me at school because every time the school ended we went home immediately, but since the school ended early, why should we not play? At first she was hesitant but because of my persistence she agreed.

I was playing with the soccer ball while she was playing on the sand, then after we ran I chased her, and I must say this girl is fast. She told me that she is tired and will drink some water I went to chase the ball when she said that to me because I just borrowed the soccer ball to my superior, then I heard people who yelled and I run toward a group of people, and there I saw Christine lying on the road with a lot of blood. I ran toward her and kept talking to her but she did not answer. My tears are flowing to my face and I saw my teachers running toward us, and I heard the sound of an ambulance.
