Embrace The Flames

PART. 2- Level Two

Blossom's P.O.V

I arrived at school, worried. School isn't fun to go when you're bullied, even if I don't want to admit that I am. I still didn't tell Isabelle and I didn't want her to worry about me. Though, she did look like she hasn't had enough sleep. As I arrived, Toby ran up to me. "Hey- hey! Blossom! What's up?" He said, nervously. I had a confused look on my face. "Hey, Toby? How are you?" He was sweating a little. "Good! Uhhh, you?" He said quickly. "Toby, what's up with you?" Ignoring his question.

"Nothing! Ummm..." He paused. "You don't want to go in class..." He said quietly. I got for fed up and pushed him out of the way. "Well, you can't tell me what to do." I said. I hanged up my book bag on the hanger and walked to my table. As I was walking, the kids were eyeing me and whispering. Weird... Maybe I had something on my face. Maybe it was the whiskers on my face. (Yeah, I'm a huge fan of Naruto, so I got whiskers like him, just FYI) I sat down in my seat and waited for Toby to come sit down with me. Hailey, a classmate, stared at me, like I was from Mars. I stared back. She turned her head away from me, not before giving me a disgusted look. Why did she do that? Got dang it Ryan and Troy... What did you do this time?

Toby sat next to me, staring at his hands. "Toby, what's going on?" Toby looked at me, tearfully. "Ryan and Troy and trying to make the whole class turn on you." What?! "Is that why you didn't want me to go in class?" I asked. "Yeah, I asked them to stop, but of course they just laughed it off" He said angrily. Ms. Mars started the class by reading a story. As she asked us to sit in a circle for reading time, Kyle raised his hand. "Uh, Ms. Mars? I don't want to sit next to her." Ms. Mars made a face, like she looked kind of insulted. "Why, why is that?" Kyle looked past me and I could tell that it was toward Ryan and Troy. "Because I don't like her. She's weird and annoying and I don't want to be near her." I was wide eyed. Ms. Mars stood up from the rocking chair. "How dare you say those rude things to Blossom! How about you take a nice little walk to the principal young man!" She shouted. Kyle gave her a dark look to her and to me and walked out. Toby put an arm around me while everyone was laughing and Ms. Mars was trying to calm them down. But all I heard was Ryan and Troy's laughter.
