Bri sits in a desk and stares out into the window trying not to flip the table over.
The students gossip about her and she hears laughing in the background. She
knew that they were talking about her. Everyone has talked about her since her
arrival in Little Rock, Arkansas.
The teacher turned around.
" Phillip! Will you be quiet please?"
Phillip put his hands out like he was innocent.
" But Bri wanted to talk to me. -
Bri snapped.
" I never did! You are lying!! "
The teacher whips out a ruler.
Everyone sits in silence.
" Phillip! How many times do I have to catch you picking on Bri? You think that I'm
an idiot don't ya? Well young boy, you are getting detention! And so are your '
popular ' friends too. "
There were gasps and whispers as class ended.
Phillip scoffs and ignores her.
Bri felt glad that Ms. Camila stood up for her.
" Bri. "
She softly yelled.
Bri looked back with a concerned face and walked as fast as she could to avoid people gossiping.
As everyone left the room, Bri stood there with her hands clasped together. She tried to not look at Ms. Camila and she sighed heavily.
Ms. Camila held onto her hands.
" Don't listen to them. They're wrong about you. "
Bri smiled lightly. Ms. Camila was like an older sister to her. They weren't far apart despite the 10 age gap.
" Thank you for standing up for me again, it's just... I don't understand why they would bully me... "
Bri slowly frowned. She tilted her head down.
Ms. Camila sighed.
" They aren't as bad as my old bullies. "
Bri slightly put her head up.
" Mine used to beat me up until my dad taught me what he did when he was in the same situation. "
Bri'snapped eyes widened.
" So what happened? "
She smiled and put her hand on her shoulder.
" I came crying home one day and he was sick of it. So he said. ' Show them what you've got. No matter how weak or strong you are, know that you have your own beliefs and believe in yourself. ' "
Bri smiled.
She suddenly hugged her.
Ms. Camila flinched but hugged her back.
" Thank you, one day I'll show them. "
Bri looked at the time.
She gasped and pointed at the clock.
" I GOTTA GO! "
Bri released the hug and ran for the door.
" Wait Bri! "
