The Bully To The Bullies

Nova's P.O.V
We sat at our desks as we ate lunch. Nothing really ever happened during lunch since the teacher kept a close eye on us. Today we were able to watch a movie.

I usually didn't like the movies so I wasn't paying attention to it. I was mostly just eating and scanning the room. Sadly today we changed seating charts and Maya was sat next to one of the new kids.

I didn't like him, since he had a tendency to be kind of mean. It didn't take long for the teacher to grab out of stack of papers to start grading. She was still keeping an eye on us, but of course not as close as before.

The kid looked up notice the teacher wasn't paying attention and turnned to Maya. At first it was tiny little pokes that made her whimper. Then he full-on stole her candy from her lunch.

Luke started snickering and turnned to me. "looks like you're going to have to teach someone a lesson later"

I didn't need to be told twice.

Later that day when school got out, a bunch of kids raceed to play on the playground until their parents came to pick them up. Maya was sitting on one of the benches drawing like normal.

Wait no she wasn't alone. It was that new kid from class. He was sitting right next to her teasing her about what she was drawing. I tried to keep my distance so she wouldn't notice I was there, but I watched. It didn't take too long before the kid snatched up her box of crayons.

Maya was super shy and kept to herself. I was never too sure why, but it was almost as if she was afraid of other people. She also seemed afraid of everything. So sometimes she wasn't always paying attention and would trip over things. Kids would make fun of her because she would cry whenever her crayons got broken. I mean she would cry over everything, but sometimes she even had to go home early because she was crying so much.

Without thinking twice, the boy grabbed one of the Crayons from the box. It was a blue crayon, Maya's favorite color. Before I could even react, the kid had snapped the crayon and laughed as she started to tear up. He walked away laughing but didn't get too far since he was walking in my direction.

It didn't take too much to convince the boy to follow. I knew a spot where I could talk to him one-on-one without anyone seeing. Beside the school there was an area where some school buses parked. After school no one really went over there, so I could be there in peace.

So me and the new kid went to the back to go have a chat.

Maya's P.O.V
I couldn't finish my drawing of Nox without the blue crayon. Of course he was only laughing at me because I cried over a crayon, but I wanted to finish my drawing. I sniffled and looked up to notice that Nova was talking to the new kid. What were they talking about? And why would someone as cool as Nova be talkin to him?

Nova seemed like a really cool person ever since I had met him. Of course he never really spoke, especially while I was around. I think he was afraid that he was going to scare me or something.

Strangely enough though, he did seem to be around me a lot. I would sometimes noticed him watching me in the classroom or out at recess. I found it a little odd.

I also noticed that he talked to a lot of the kids who picked on me. Sometimes after he talked with them, they didn't pick on me anymore. Or sometimes they wouldn't show up to school for a while and when they came back they had bruises or scars...

This time I wanted to find out what was going on. I watched them start to walk away and as soon as they disappeared around the corner I got up and followed. I noticed that they went over by where the school buses parked. Wonder why they were there? That's when I started to hear shouting.

I peeked around the corner to see the two of them there. Nova was yelling at the new kid and the new guy didn't seem too happy about it. He started yelling back at Nova. Why am I even here? I really should go back to where the playground is where it's safe.

Yet, I wanted to know what was going on so I stayed. It didn't take long for the shouting to become more aggressive. The new kid hit Nova In the face. I covered my mouth attempting not to cry. I hope he was okay...

Nova looked at the kids said something and then hit him back. Whatever he did, he hit him so hard that the kid immediately sprawled on the floor. I let out a gasp and then hid around the corner. Hopefully he didn't see me.

But was Nova beating up the kids that were bullying me? I mean I know they were mean to me, but I really hope Nova didn't do all those awful things. I started to shake and that's when I heard footsteps heading my way. I immediately ran for the playground and not looking back. I would need to talk to Nova about this at a later time... Maybe it was a misunderstanding.

Nova's P.O.V
As I walked over to the corner where I heard the noise, I heard footsteps running away. I turned the corner and whoever was there before was no longer there. Hopefully they didn't see anything.

I heard groans behind me as the new kid slowly came to. I walked over to him and grabbed him by the shirt and lifted him off the ground.

"Now you don't go near her again. Got it?"

The kids silently nodded and I put him down. He ran off back to the playground, and I let out a sigh. I really hated doing that, but she wasn't safe and what the kid did wasn't nice anyway.

I went to go walk back to the car and remembered that tomorrow is Lilly's birthday party. I was excited for it, because I knew Maya would be there. She had been super happy and excited for almost the whole week over it.

I knew that she liked seeing the robots performing on the stage... her favorite party room was Nyx and Nox's room. I think they were her favorite of the robots.

that's when I had an idea.

Yesterday I had been to the party house because my parents needed me to be somewhere for the rest of the afternoon. While I was there I was messing around the arcade and noticed that there was a Nox plushie in the claw machine.

Maybe tomorrow at Lilly's birthday I could finally try to talk to her. I could even try to get that plushie for her. Then maybe I could tell her how I felt... Tomorrow was going to be a good day. I just know it
