Chapter 3 : a lovley morning

 CHAPTER 3: A lovely morning

Kari left Bethany’s office Feeling better then she had in ages. Now she knew someone valued her for who she was and tried to understand her. This was an incredibly emotional and special thing for the troubled young woman. 

She had to admit she couldn't help but feel that Bethany had wanted to talk about something that could have been important.

Unfortunately it got overlooked. Kari was curious about it. She would have to ask about it another time. For now she was determined to enjoy this wonderful mood she was in and she went to class feeling light and calm. 

She was very late but she had already been excused for the appointment.  She sheepishly snuck into English took her seat near the back. 

Though she was anxious coming in late as everyone would stare. But none of them really bothered which helped. 

Kari was 15 minutes late to this second class of her day and had completely missed first. But she needed the realize that the counseling session had given her or she would really have struggled. 

The English class actually turned out to be quite enjoyable and flew by at first.

The class was doing a creative writing exercise which was always something Kari really enjoyed. This is because it allowed her time to expresses herself and reflect on things going on in her difficult life. It allowed some quiet and the chance to get lost In her own imagination. 

She was in class with Pegasus who smiled Warmly when he noticed her and passed her a note which she read simply" coffee later?” 

She replies with a “sure I'd like that a lot” note. 

Then passed it back after a couple of notes were sent the class begin to pay attention. Pegasus noticed and glared witheringly around and signed for Kari to stop sending the notes or be more subtle. 

Which she nodded in agreement.the last thing she needed was the other students talking behind her back. Well, more than they already did.  Kari knew that would flare up her anxiety again. She had been doing much better with that of late she thought. 

The teacher explained that the challenge was to write a 500 word complete story about anything they wanted but it would be harder then they thought. He put a few ideas on the board. Including childhood memories, family holidays, hobbies, dreams, and aspirations. 

Kari had lots to write about but a lot if it was sensitive and would upset her. 

So she thought. Finally she knew what to write about and the words just flowed. 

Her story was about a girl and her friend who was adopted by the kind unconventional school counselor. 

 The story was like a dream to her so the problem she had was cutting it back. Fortunately Kari was a clever girl and was great at saying a lot with only a few words. However she kept her notes for a story if her own later. 

People snickered behind her as she felt a slight impact. Then a few more as kids had thrown papers at her while the teachers back was turned. This little thing really upset poor Kari. They upset her because she read some of the papers. 

They all said mean things like was she turning lesbian, would she like to ride the Pegasus, one even said “pissy pants toddler brat.” Someone knew far too much about her that scared her and this was the last straw. 

As she burst into tears the teacher took note but before he could do anything sone cold words came from a most unexpected source. 

 In the corner the quiet sissy boy Phillipe spoke up softly but his tone was imperious and the room slowly fell silent in utter shock that the sissy girly boy had a voice. What surprised many of the tougher nastier kids in the class was He also knew how to use it to intimidate a whole class. Phillipe,s eerie purple eyes lock with everyone .the effect was hypnotic and he was shaking and scared but trying to be confident. Clearly these words came from the heart in an attempt to touch his classmates and make then think. 

" Y'all should be ashamed of ya selves. That you bully two kids in your class just cos they ain't like you. 

Do ya do it cos ya miserable and want others to suffer. Perhaps do it cos y'all just nasty disgusting human beings.

 I could sit here and I could tell something embarrassing or humiliating about you all or a weakness that you could all exploit.  

The reason I don't is cos for all you do to me to karri and many others I still respect yall as people hoping there is more to ya all. 

Do ya really just wanna be sheep with no minds?

 Ya, not all the same why not value your individuality. 

That is all I have to say about that and I hope it makes ya think ."  He said then sat down breathing heavily.

 

The teacher was very impressed and he praised Pegasus clever and thoughtful response. The rest of the class was subdued no one spoke really. Kari did hear 4 lads and a girl she didn’t recognise say to each other " no one talks to us like that let's do him good after school.l "

 After most kids had gone She took note of this and write it down naming each one she thought had bullied her that day. She knew almost every name in the class.  She had, had enough and was hurting really badly she wanted the bullies to be dealt with properly for everyone’s sake not just hers. She kept one copy and gave the other copy to the teacher. She knew they would know she had calmed down but was still raw from the cruel messages. Some Of the messages she gave to the teacher and tried to explain what happened tearfully and full of stammering and occasional mispronounced words. Kari was so agitated she was almost going into little space involuntarily.

Pegasus,s great oratory had inspired her to stand up and be heard, this time anyway. She knew the confidence would soon ebb again. Kari just hoped she did the right thing. 

On top of this she was worried about Pegasus and had to tell him if the thugs plan . Sadly he has already gone blended into the shuffling crowd. 

Kari always thought it odd that despite not blending in at all he could never be tracked or followed through crowds despite his odd appearances and behavior.  

She had to find him no matter what. He could be in danger …
