2. Courageous and strong

Ch. 2
I was walking into school looking down at my phone. Celia had already been off to class. I looked to my right and saw a kid being bullied. I stopped and stared for a second. The kid was starting to tear up. I didn't get a good look at the bully but I went over there. I slipped my phone in my pocket and looked the bully straight in the...chest. I wasn't the tallest kid. I had to "look up" to the bully. I said with a angry look on my face

"And just what do you think you're doing?!?"

He answered "what does it look like, bullying this kid. Are you an idiot?"
Then he whispered something to his friend and started laughing. That was it. I didn't know what he said but I wasn't happy about it. I took a couple deep breaths and told the kid (Ryan) to pick up his things and go to class.
After Ryan left, it was me the bully and his idiot friend. I told the friend to scram and threatened to tell the principal about his little "raid" on the kitchen a couple months ago. So he did what I told him.
Now, it was me and the bully, Noah. We just stood staring at each other for a minute. Then I finally opened my mouth.

"Why do you pick on kids? Is it your joy in life?"
He answered by saying

"You don't know me."
I thought "he's right, I don't know him" I would've said it too, but the bell rang.
