My Life Story

Secret Spies

There was only two groups of people who knew what Jamal was doing. Students and dinner laides. People dont think very highly of dinner ladies but they are the true spies of any school. They walk around, unseen by everyone. They all liked me so they would do whatever I said and keep any secrets I wanted them to keep. This was one of them. They all hated Jamal as they all knew what he did to people, how he made it his life mission to bring misery into other peoples lives. So after I did this they seemed to love me even more than they ever did before.

One lunch Jamal was particularly cranky. He decided, as always, that he would take it out on me. However, In this instance i lost my act. I couldn't just stand their watching him jump all over me. He started being mean to me, saying the usual things but then he just went insane. He told me to fight him and i politely refused. He wouldn't take no for an answer. I couple of seconds later i saw him charging at me. I couldn't take it anymore. I grabbed his hood and swung him around me until i eventually let go and he hit his back on the gates hard enough that you could here his faint moan. I thought this might have put him off but it just made him angrier and from that moment on he was more obsessed with making my life a living hell than he was before.

But that night I saw what changed my view on them forever. I realised that bullies only bully because they want to find an escape from their own reality. Zayn, one of my bullies, has a horrendous home life. I dont think he has a father and if he does he's not their most of the time, his mom looks like an addict and doesn't care much about him. He is always staying out super late in a part of town that isn't known for being safe and his mom never messages him to come home or to see if he's safe. From that point I realised that their lives must be so much worse than mine so I wasn't hurt by anything they said or did from that point. People say if u dont give them the satisfaction they will stop but that's bullshit. They didn't stop, they tried harder to make me break but I didn't do it. I just looked at them and smiled.
