Letters to the bully across the street

Letter four

Dear bully,

I started school today. Our parents dropped me off with you. You left me all by
myself.

I saw you with your group of friends. They were bullying everyone around them.

You spotted me.

I turned away but you grabbed my face. And then you yelled at me and said I was fat.

I thought you were just being rude and let it go.

Your girlfriend came up to me and slapped me across the face. Said I didn't belong talking to her or you.

I was walking home when your friends jumped me. They beat me up and gave me a black eye. And a busted lip. I cried. But not in front of them.

I looked at myself in the mirror at my stomach thinking that you were just mad or something but realized that you were right.

I didn't eat dinner and my mom and dad wondered what happened to my face. I said I tripped on a sprinkler. Because I knew your friends didn't mean it.
