'Toga attacked our classmate... she finally broke? it seems like all of my efforts to keep her from leaving failed'

Esme was in the hallway watching Toga biting Take, our bully since elementary school and probably of of the very few who actually remember the last time Toga hurt someone, she had originally frozen before regaining her senses when Amo went to hit Toga, she got in between the two and took the hit though it hadn't really affected her too much she knew it'd bruise later but ignored that

Esme pulled Toga off of Take and hugged her "Please don't do this she whispered to her best friend, both girls were crying with guilty expressions though those expressions were for different reasons quickly teachers came and took Take and Toga to one room and Amo and Esme to another

Esme sat in one of the padded office chairs curled up in a ball sobbing, Amo who hadn't seen the girl cry since that day in elementary school sat awkwardly next to her, watching as three sets of parents filed in, Toga's parents followed by Take's entered the principals office the door closing behind them, while Amo's  stopped in front of him for an explanation, Esme lifted her head to glare at him but being a small tear-sticken girl it probably came off much less intimidating than she meant it to be

feeling bad for her he said "Toga-san attacked Take for being mean to her, I didn't think about it but went to get Toga-san off but in my panic went for an aggressive way and ended up hitting Lowe-san, who got Toga-san off with much gentler means even though she doesn't like Take" he crossed his arms and looked away with a scowl 

The parents took a glance at Esme for any corrections so she gladly said "Take-san bullies Himiko-chan, I'm just surprised she held it in long enough that when she finally ended up standing up to him it ended in violence" with a firm look as if saying 'this is his own fault'

A few moments later Toga's parents came through pulling their crying daughter past by her wrists, Esme stood up out of concern for her friend but the principal came out a moment later and shook her head frowning, Esme looked towards them helplessly and it had allowed them to catch a glimpse of her and Toga's mother stormed up to Esme "You!" she seemed furious that Esme was there leaning over the girls small frame she yelled

"This is YOUR fault" the lady sneered, disdain clear in her eyes, she shoved a finger in Esme's direction "I told you long ago to stay away from my daughter you smurfy little villain!" She pushed Esme back into the chair and continued to yell oblivious to the teachers coming to pull her away from the shaking student "If you had really just stayed away, my daughter would've been normal by now!" she had then been  escorted out by teachers, still fuming they pulled Toga who'd been resisting their grasp with them

Esme was left staring at the floor not having expected to be called a villain, something dripped on her lap allowing her to realize that a trait from her last life passed over with her and she gave a bittersweet smile thinking 'heh, so I still cry when I'm yelled at huh? Ah geez, I must seem like a cry baby' Esme lifted her head allowing her expression to be seen by the others in the room, this allowed her to realize Take and his family had also left the office and she scowled 

"what're you looking at Take-san? You finally got Himiko-chan to leave. Is that good enough for you? I mean, what'd she ever do to you anyway? Because it seems to me you bullied her for so long the reason was forgotten by even you and it became more of a game" Esme had begun an on-slot of somewhat hurtful words that had the boy flinch away and the principals eye widen

the principal stepped within her view and said "What do you mean Lowe-san?" in a comforting tone but her cold and curious expression gave her away, Esme answered anyway "Take-san has been harassing Himiko-chan and I since we were in preschool, he and Amo-san have gotten into trouble for it before too. But that allowed her parents to figure out that I had nobody and they told me to stay away from Himiko-chan, of course I didn't listen, you saw the way they dragged her around" Esme said as if simply stating facts, the look in her eyes making it obvious she disliked Toga's parents
