Zoni

Pulling The Last String

I walk to school. Of course, people talk about this rich kid. This rich kids name is Sky. So Sky is clueless since he isn't in a group. I just gotta talk to one last group, and then BAM! My work in this school is done. The worst they would do to Sky is kill him, so I think he'll be fine.
I go over to the last group and start talking.
"Hi! My name is Zoni, if you didn't know by now!", I state so innocently.

"Yeah, we've heard about you..."

They act like I'm so useless waste of space. Those pric-
"Yeah but anyway, have you heard about that kid Sky? I heard that he is the son of a loanshark, who most of our parents have to pay his dad because they loaned from him! All this nice stuff he gets comes from our family's. He isn't even grateful for any of it either.", I let these words sink in. Most of it is true, so I'm not lying completely.

"Why should we care?", one of them ask, like I'm wasting their time.

"Do you starve at night because your family doesn't have enough money? Do you live in a small house because your family doesn't have enough money? Don't you want you and your family to be happy?", I say. I know, that most of this is the life of everyone here.

And I've caught their attention.

"Yeah...we do...", one of them says.

"But your parents have to pay a loanshark. Don't you wanna help them break free?"

"...yeah..."

"If you could send a message to these loansharkd to set them free, would you do it?"

"Yeah..."

"The biggest message would be the abuse towards his son, Sky. Sky is t so innocent so you won't hurt someone innocent. You would send a message to them, and your parents could go free!"

"That sounds...like a great idea."

I did it. The last string. I see the kids look over at Sky. Poor him. This will be the most terrifying day of his life.
Then he stares me in the eye. His glare looks like he knows something. This isn't good.
I start to back away to go home, as I see the kids start to approach him. Then his voice stops them and me.

"Well, isn't it the wanted manipulater. Am I your target?"

He found me out.
