The Lonely Penny
Chap 5
Part 1
(narrating)- Claire was sitting at the bench in the entrance. Morgan was on the other side. All of their friends were around chatting. Morgan was poking and slapping Claire non-stop.
"Morgan! Stop hitting me!" I finally yelled at her. She continued, "Oh my God! You have no idea how lucky you are that I believe strongly in my faith that physical fighting is NEVER the answer. You have no idea how lucky you are that I will not hit you back!" As I was speaking I started kneeling on the bench.
"Am I? Am I really?! You looking all tough - kneeling there!" she said smoothly and calmly while standing up on the floor.
"Yes you are! You know what I had it!" I was yelling at her so loud that the chatter around us quieted and people were staring at me. I didn't care. I wanted people to start realizing! I was walking over on the other side of the bench and I sat down.
Part 2
"Hey!" Anna just enter school. She was walking over to greet me. I was silent, "What's wrong?"
"...nothing..." I mumbled.
"Clearly! Seriously, Claire, what is it?" She insisted. I didn't respond. She just stood there trying to figure out what happened.
Then I stood up and pulled on her arm saying, "Come here...." I zoomed out looking left and right trying to find a place quiet. We ended up in the stair hall way.
"Woah! What is it?" Anna said being a little startled with how much energy I had. I told her about Morgan hitting me. I was crying again.
"Claire, look at me," I looked up, "You are being bullied. I want you to report her and I mean it!"
"No, it will pass."
"No it wont! Not unless someone knows about it. I have a half of a mind to tell the school counslor to see you," she said with a sigh. I was already thinking about seeing the counslor for advice. I just didn't want to start it myself.
"If you did. Will my parents find out?" None of my family members know anything about my life at school - expect for my sister, Sara. No one knows about Morgan.
"No, it's confidential as long as you dont show any harm to others or yourself," Anna said.
"Fine," I mumbled in agreement. In the end, I only saw her three times. The counselor thought I was fine and I was - when she saw me.
Part 3 (starter)
I didn't want them to protect me because I was too weak, too wimpy, too nice to defend myself.
