Rusty's Secret

20. The Meanies

Dusty gets up for recess as the annoying sound of the bell fills the halls.

Dusty, Bingo, and Lila walk down the hall, nearing the door to the playground outside. "What do you wanna do outside?" Bingo asks. They all collectively try to come up with ideas

Outside, they were all sitting at the top of the shiny red slides. "Oh! What if we pl-" Bingo gets cut off. She gets pushed off the slide, she tumbles her way down until she hits the spikey woodchips surrounding the playground. "Ow..." she says as she hits the ground, staring down at her scraped knees.

"Bingo! Are you okay!?" Lila shouts as she slides down to see if she's alright. "Who did that?" Dusty asks herself as she looks around. She sees Banjo, Bingo's old bully, escaping off the playscape. "Hey! Did you do that!" Dusty yells, staring at him. "Do what?" Banjo says, trying to act dumb. Dusty just rolls her eyes and goes to see if Bingo's okay. "You okay, Bingo?" Dusty asks as she lands onto the ground. "Yeah, I'm fine...." Bingo groans.

The lunch aids standing in front of the school blow their loud and anoying wistle, it echoes trough the playground, letting every student know they have to return to class. "Oh...looks like it's time for class. We can play next recess" Lila sighs. Bingo dusts herself off as they walk into the school.

Bingo peaks into her math classroom. She notices Banjo in the corner of the room, she crosses her arms as they all sit down together.

Before the lesson begins, Bingo feels something sharp and pointey hit the back of her head. "Ow!" Bingo shouts, placing her hand where the paper airplane hit her. "Haha!" Banjo cackled from behind."Ugh, Banjo, quit it!" Lila shouts, trying to stick up for Bingo. "Heh, Bingo, your girlfriend thinks I'm intimidated by her!" He jokes. Bingos' face turns red. "I...I'm not....J-Just shut up!" Lila stuttered.

"Why is Banjo being so annoying today..." Bingo asks everyone, as they sit down at their usual lunch table by the big windows on the sides of the cafeteria. "I have no clue" Dusty answers, emptying out her lunchbox.

"Ow!" Another paper airplane hits the back of Bingo's head. She can hear the laughter of Banjo behind her. It echoes through her mind. "Ugh! I'm sick of this! This is ending now!" Bingo is furious. She stands up. "What are you doing, Bingo?" Lila asks, looking up at her. "Ending this shit!" She said angirly.

She storms up to Banjo's table, she stares directly into his eyes. "What do you want?" Banjo teased, acting like he wasn't worried.

"BANJO! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR SHIT! I'M TIRED OF THEESE STUPID PAPER AIRPLANES! YOU'RE JUST AN ANOYING LITTLE BITCH TOWARDS ME AND I'M TIRED OF IT! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Bingo screams at the top of her lungs. Dusty and Lila are watching from behind, shocked. Lila was a little proud.

"Jeez Bingo! I'm sorry! I didn't know I was bothering you THAT much...it was supposed to be a joke...." Banjo says quietly, he swallowed hard. Bingo stomps back to her table. She doesn't say another word the whole lunch period...

A day has passed after Bingo had lashed out at Banjo. "Weird....Banjo hasn't bothered us today..." Dusty notices. "Maby,  he's scared he'll get screamed at again" Lila chuckles, fidgeting with her pencil. Bingo is sitting at her desk with her head down. "What's wrong, Bingo...?" Lila asks her. "I don't know.....I just feel bad for yelling at Banjo, I guess......" Bingo says quietly. "Oh, really? But he was bothering you so much.  "Y-Yeah... but that wasn't like me...I don't usually yell at people like that. It's not who I am...." Bingo mutters. "Do you want to apologize to him?" Dusty suggests. "Yeah...I think so..." Bingo answered.
