9 year old Harly was walking home when she witnessed two students bullying the weaker one.

The victim cried and begged for mercy and help. No one was around. No one came. With every second that passed, the screams and cries of the victim became a scratch in her brain she couldn't reach, and the laughter from the bullies fueled her anger until everything went blank.

When she woke up, she was top, holding down one of the bullies and repeatedly punching one of the bullies.

It was someone's screaming her name telling her stop, did she finally wake up,"Harmony. STOP!"

A boy around her age cried. When Harly stopped and turned around, she saw him. The boy stopped crying as it got caught within his throat. He backs away in fear before falling back down. Harly tried to get close, but he would flinch. Harmony's face hardened before she grabbed her bag and walked off.

"She's a monster and shouldn't be allowed to go to school with children."

"I mean, look at my son's face." She pushes her child in front of the teachers to witness her son's red, swollen eye and cheek.

The teachers looked at each other and whispered among themselves.

"This is not her first offense."

"She's the really bully here."

"We should expell her."

"It's bad enough that her mother isn't here. Now we have to deal with nuisance, unruly child."

Harly's shoulders shook the weight of their words. They became too heavy, and she collapsed.

"I'm not the bully. They are! For weeks, they have been stealing other student's lunches, shoving them into lockers."

"Are you saying I don't feed my child, that he has to steal from others."

"I don't know, and I don't care. Why do they do it. I saw it, everyone saw it."

"Than, why didn't you report it to the teachers."

Harmony pointed at the quiet boy,"he reported it, and they started bullying him, and no one did anything. Adults brushed it off and kept saying we were kids. That we were just playing."

"I can't believe she continues to lie rather than telling the truth and asking forgiveness." The mom said.

"I'm not lying!" Harmony shouted.

"Ma'am, we are handling this." The headmaster said before she turned to the quiet boy,"Jimmy? I need you to tell me the truth. Is what Harmony saying the truth?"

Jimmy looked up from Harly and to the bully, and he flinched, cowering in fear.

"See, she's lying."

"I'm not..."

The door opened,"she's not lying." The other boy that fell said walking in.

"And you are?"

"I'm Deputy Stilinski. My son has something to say.."
