Saved by the Bully

Of all the places in the world, sitting under the shade of a tree is my favorite place. That is the reason why I join in our school camping activity. Actually, I'm not interested in joining any school activities because I used to be bullied always by my classmates. But then when I heard that we will be having a school camping, I didn't refuse to join.

It is Thursday afternoon, our fourth day in our school camping activity. I decided to sneak out from the campsite to get some fresh air and walk within the woods to get some peace of mind since it has been a tiring day for me.

The woods where I went in was big, and comprised of white crystalline trees that resonate with musical chimes when the wind blows. It lashed and crashed against each other like drum sticks in the hands of a giant. I always lifted my face, letting the light and shadow dance across my skin. Bees hummed in and out of the pennyroyal. The smell of the woods was pulpy smell and continued on, delighting in the sound of my feet sliding through the leaves.

I sit under a big tree which I considered to be the oddest among the trees to take some rest. I lean on its trunk then get my earphones and plug it in my ears. I close my eyes to take a nap. I was listening to my favorite song when suddenly someone tapped my shoulder. I lifted my face to see that person. I looked at him and something came up in my mind. It's him! I remember again his terrible words towards me before, "Do you know what kind of person I think is really pathetic? That was someone like you whom is hard-working but has nothing to be proud of." Yes, he is that kind of person. He was Dhecqs Byron s, someone who looks down on people who are not skilled as he is.

I'm about to stand and leave when he started talking. "Oh.. it was you!", he said with a smile in his face. I was wondering why he made such smile towards me. Maybe, I was just hallucinating. How can a person who really hates me and bully me smile in front of me.

"What are you doing here? Perhaps, you came along with my brother? Where is he?" he continued.

"I'm sorry, I can't understand you. If you want to be alone in this spot and made such questions as an excuse just to send me away, then, I'll make it easy for you. I'll just leave" I replied.

"What are you saying? I'm here to meet my brother. I thought he came here along with you. Don't you recognize me?" he asked.

"Of course I know you. You don't have to say such strange questions just to make me leave. You were someone who hates a pathetic person like me, right? That's why I am leaving now." I said sarcastically then started walking.

It was about 5 steps away from him when I suddenly heard someone speak. "You deserved that... you deserve to be hated... for not recognizing me and him either" he harshly said. I was startled when I saw him again right in front of me. Wearing the same face but seems to have different personality.

"What...do you mean?" I wondered while looking at him. "How did you get there? You were just here..." I turned my back and saw another person standing right there. After seeing him, I felt a bit strange and everything went black.

"I knew it was her... I am not mistaken. What happen? Why she can't even recognize me?" someone asked. "I don't know either. All I know is that she already turned into a different person now", someone responded. I kept on hearing some strange voices. "Where exactly I am right now? Am I dreaming?" I asked myself. I felt someone touching my forehead and realized that I am not dreaming anymore. I slowly open my eyes and saw someone closely looking at me.

"Oh... You're finally awake" he said while smiling. Because I was a bit shocked, I hardly pushed him and he fell off the ground. I quickly get up and looked at him.
