You're annoying. We'd rather die than sit by you... No one likes you. Just leave!... We hate you. Go home.... Leave already!... You're worse than Ebola. Ew.
Leave already!... No one cares about you. You're annoying. You don't deserve any-
Hey!! You know a child, whose story they try to tell. But, That child already thinks - "scratch that", She KNOWS people won't listen. Those horrible things, I said earlier, were all said to some kid, could be any kid, in an elementary school anywhere around the world.
Safety is a number one priority in schools. Only if you're physically hurt, or if you don't try to get up and fight. the child that doesn't feel like they can talk to anyone or feels like they are being ignored or talked over.
Middle School, their first year that everything changed. The child did better than the year before. Their grades were higher. This child made more friends in that year. Their Friends considered that child like an older sibling. The year was outstanding! Yet, one 'friend' wanted to make the whole group turn on this child. That one friend that's a snake.
The snake started dating a girl, so she could simply, plant the poison. The snake wanted to try and kill off that child. Yet, chemical X wasn't the right 'poison'. Slowly the group noticed the things the Snake was trying to do. But, that child didn't think much of it until the Snake's relationship broke off. The Snake kept saying that to be with her girl again, the child needed to apologize to the said girl.
The Child didn't apologize. Instead, the child went to that girl and told what had The Snake said. The Girl was surprised and everyone stopped. And what had once been infected and ruled by The Snake, was restored to fun and a roughhousing peace.
The Child was so happy. They bounced up and down. That Child was so happy that all the times they got knocked down by someone, that they had gotten right back up and fought a battle they wanted to finish.
It had finally paid off.
Though, one friend. Jerry, this Child's best friend, told them of sad news. It was just weeks before Summer, before a break from all the math and Science and Drama. To get away from the school lifestyle. But, Jerry, was moving away. Yet again, The Child was saddened. But not beaten enough to stay down, though They still had trouble getting up.
The Child wasn't worried about there self but of their Best Friend. The Best Friend that stayed by be the child's side through their elementary life.
Jerry had an unstable home.
The Jerry that had more chores and Homework to do. That The Best Friend only slept an hour, maybe four. But Time went on, whether they both liked it or not. They exchanged numbers and went home.
The next year. The Second Year at this Middle School Life. The Middle School Life that only stayed for three years. The Child was a seventh Grader, with one class to see ONE FRIEND out of the whole group. Life went on like always. Time sometimes wasn't always the best man and hated The Child sometimes.
Deadline, Homework, project, club, repeat. That was the cycle at school. The Child always texted Jerry in order to cheer her up. The Child always succeeded too.
The Child realized that they were was never alone. No one is ever alone. They simply started to stand. People just needed a helping hand. They needed to know that the world isn't always as bad as it seems. They needed to say No, instead of being told No. They needed to believe that there's light at the end of their dark tunnel. That the work can pay off. That everyone can stand.
It's only a matter of when their dark shell is broken When they can climb the corrupted mountain when they can fight the evil villain. But also, to know that they aren't alone, and that life can cheat, but they can win. That they can get the golden crown, they can be the ruler of the once marred land.
I heard a quote once. "Die a Hero, or live to be the villain." are you a villain, or are you gonna be a hero and die to try? I'll tell you a secret, dying is easy, living is harder. you can live and show the untold story that needs to be told.
If you can't fight for yourself, fight for someone else. Stand for someone else,
I don't know whatever happened to that kid though, some say that they went back into the dark tunnel to help others get out, or that the child moved on, no one knows for sure.
