The Bully, So They Were
The Bully So They Were
You should have been there. It’s terrible knowing you’re alone in this world. Nobody to hold tight in your arms, nobody to rant to when you’re in a mood, and nobody to talk to when you’re lonely. When the doors open to the school my heart drops to the floor as if I just passed out. There are two people one girl and one boy, Erica and Eric. They are twins in highschool and they are the class popular kids. They bully people as if it was funny and everyday I am their biggest target.
On a bright and early Monday morning, I walked into school and I haven’t seen them at all since I got there. I turned the corner, and looked up. Eric and Erica were standing at their locker as I slowly looked away and turned around to avoid them. I was then approached by my best friend Mia, she scared me to death.
I said, “Lets go” as I was in a sudden rush, Mia pulled me by the arm and said, “no rush”
As she took me by the arm, I walked past very slowly by Eric and Erica. We passed them and nothing was said. I was so relieved that I didn’t have to deal with them this early in the morning.
Around noon, I have a class with Erica. I always try to skip that class because it kills me knowing the teachers will do jack squat about Erica. Apparently, If you are the teacher’s pet you get more out of it. When I walked in the class, I had all my (nerd books) in my hand. Erica and her best friend Seriana smacked the books out of my hand. All my homework from other classes and my books spread out at my feet. Everyone started to laugh and there was Mrs. Earl laughing along.
As the teacher finally settled everything down, we started our notes. Of course, I am the one in the back actually doing their notes. I look over for one second and all I see is Erica and Seriana making a resting cow face at me. I look right back down at my paper and continued taking notes. When I looked up both of them were gone.. I wondered where they went maybe to the restroom, ARE THEY BEHIND ME??!! My heart is pounding out of my chest almost skipping a beat everytime I think of something new.
We leave that class and after the drop of books that's all that happened. When I saw Mia in the hallway she didn’t believe a single thing I said about Erica today in biology. Mia thinks Erica and Seriana are the best people on earth other than me. She doesn’t understand that the words she is saying. Mia thinks Erica is just being that snobby mean girl like every school has to have.
Throughout the day I don’t see them until last period and when that bell rings I sink like the Titanic.
*The bell rings*
My whole life is about to end. I'm walking down the hallway thinking why I do this everyday. Why do I try to impress someone that you know will never ever like you. Good thing is Mia is in that class. I walk in and I'm the only person in the classroom. Mia came in seconds after. I yelled at her and said, “Hi” and she put her head down listening to her music and walked away. She isn’t sitting next to me like we usually do every single day.
The bell rings to tell the teachers that everyone else is late. Nobody was in that class other than Mia and I. Then everyone started coming in the room and screaming at the top of their lungs
“ Get out nasty!”
“Go die nobody will care!”
Everyone repeating those words, Mia sits there in the corner doing nothing. As Mia watches and does nothing, she mumbles under her breath laughing hoping I wouldn't hear. I run out of the room crying going to the nurse acting like I’m sick just to go home. The nurse calls home and mom says, “It’s last period suck it up”. I end up not going back to that class and skipping the last forty miserable minutes of that class.
When I got home I went straight to my room and texted Mia and said, “ What the hell” When she came back with “what” I knew right then and there, I lost the only person in my life to help me through this stuff. I kept thinking to myself, maybe I should do what they said. Maybe I’m not good enough to stay in this world. Put me out of this misery.
The next morning her mom went into the room to wake her up for school. She walks into the room and smells something funny. She looks around the bed and there Addi was laying there in her own blood. Addi’s mom starts to feel a pain in her chest while her eyes fill up like pools. Addi’s mom saw a note in her hand. She reads the note and this is what it says.
“Your words and actions hurt others. Don’t try to fight it off when all you can do is sit in a pile of your tears.. This is to all my loved ones, I tried and tried to tell you what is going on. When you don’t listen or tell me to “Suck it up”.. I drown. I tried to fight and this is where it got me.”
Love,
Addi

This piece was inspired by a true story. This is all based on truth that has happened to me. I hope that people get to to try and stop bullying as much as they can. Yeah, it will never stop but we should at least inforce it more so it doesn't lead to more deaths.
