PUPS STAND UP TO BULLYING

I DON'T OWN PAW PATROL ONLY MY OCS

It was Monday morning. School was just about to begin. A lot of kids were already in the hallways opening their lockers & finding the stuff they needed for the 1ST class. Alex Porter was searching through his locker looking for his books when all of a sudden he felt something push him to the ground.

"WOAH" yelled Alex as he fell to the floor.

"Oops sorry. Didn't see you there" said Elias.

"I'm pretty sure that wasn't an accident" said Alex.

"Oh so you're accusing me of doing that on purpose are you?" asked Elias.

"I suppose I am" said Alex.

Elias grabbed Alex by the collar & picked him up off the ground.

"Listen to me you little brat. You think you're so much smarter than me but you're not. You better stay out of my way or else you'll be in for the worst pain you've ever felt in your entire life. Is that clear?" asked Elias.

"Yes" said Alex in fear.

"Good. See you later dork" said Elias as he put Alex down. As he looked up he noticed other kids staring at him.

"WHAT ARE YOU ALL LOOKING AT HUH?" yelled Elias.

The other kids turned away & headed to class. Elias did the same.

"I don't know why I did that. I don't even know how to feel. A part of me feels good for being able to let out my anger but another part of me feels like I just made a big mistake. I wish I knew what it meant" thought Elias as he headed to class.

Angel had witnessed the altercation between Alex & Elias & she was surprised at Elias' behaviour. He had never done anything like this before. She decided to confront Elias & ask him why he did what he did.

"Elias why did you do that to Alex? There was no reason for you to do that" said Angel.

"Do I look like I care? It doesn't matter anyways. It's none of your business" said Elias as he walked into class.

"You know better than this Elias. This isn't like you. I know something's up with you. Why are you doing this?" asked Angel.

"I don't need a reason for what I've done. I don't have to explain myself to anyone" said Elias as he took his seat.

"Your parents won't be very happy with you at all. They're going to hear about this" said Angel.

"THE HELL THEY ARE. YOU'RE REALLY STARTING TO TEST MY PATIENCE ANGEL. ANOTHER WORD OUT OF YOU & I'LL STARVE YOU FOR A WEEK. SIT DOWN & BE A GOOD DOG" yelled Elias.

Everyone in class was shocked. They had never seen Elias act so aggressively before. Not even Miss Spearwood had seen this behaviour.

"WHAT ARE YOU ALL LOOKING AT? IS THERE A PROBLEM HERE? TURN AROUND & DO YOUR WORK" yelled Elias.

Everyone turned back to their desks & began their work. As Elias did so himself he couldn't stop thinking about the way he was acting.

"Why am I doing this? Is there a reason to justify my actions or am I just in a bad mood today? Either way this is a new experience for me" thought Elias.

The rest of the class was uneventful. 2ND period was also uneventful. At recess Alex & his friends were playing tag. As they ran by Elias he stuck his foot out. Alex tripped over & fell to the floor.

"Ouch" said Alex as he fell over. He had grazed his knee.

"Next time be more careful & look where you're going" said Elias.

"You tripped me over. I think you did that on purpose" said Alex.

"I told you earlier not to get in my way. Do you want me to hurt you?" asked Elias.

"No" said Alex.

"Then get out of here before I do" said Elias in a threatening manner. Alex & his friends walked off towards the nurse's office for a band aid for Alex's knee.

"I've done it again. What is wrong with me? Why can't I stop myself from doing all this stuff? I don't understand this feeling at all" thought Elias as he walked over to the swing set & played on it for the rest of recess. The next 2 periods came & went without incident. In the cafeteria during lunch as Elias was walking to the table where his friends were sitting he walked by Alex & his friends. Elias pretended to trip & ended up splashing Alex with food.

"WOAH" yelled Elias as he fell to the floor.

"EW yuck" said Alex as he stood up covered in food.

"Oops sorry. I don't know what I stumbled over" said Elias.

"There's nothing on the floor. You tripped yourself up on purpose" said Julius.

"He's right. That wasn't an accident" said Justina.

"I agree. This isn't the 1ST time this has happened today" said Precious' Owner.

"What is up with you guys accusing me of doing this stuff on purpose? You guys are out to get me or something" said Elias.

"No we're not. You clearly have an issue with us" said Alex.

"THAT'S A LIE. IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU'RE TOO CLUMSY TO DO THINGS RIGHT. I'M GETTING REALLY FED UP WITH YOU GUYS TRYING TO MAKE ME LOOK BAD. YOU GUYS ARE ASKING TO BE BEAT UP. THE NEXT TIME ANY OF YOU ACCUSE OF ME OF DOING SOMETHING WRONG I SWEAR I'LL GIVE YOU ALL A POUNDING. DON'T MESS WITH ME" yelled Elias as he walked over to his friends. The entire cafeteria was silent. Not 1 person did or said anything. Everyone was shocked at Elias' behaviour.

"What's happening to me? I really wish I knew why I'm doing this" thought Elias as he sat down next to his friends.

"What's gotten into you today Elias? You've been acting like a jerk all day" said Ace.

"She's right. You've been treating people really badly for seemingly no reason" said Carlos.

"This isn't like you at all. Your behaviour has been really troublesome for a lot of people" said Danny.

"So what? It's not even my fault. I shouldn't take responsibility for Alex's bad luck. That's his problem" said Elias.

"It's not just Alex. The way you treated Angel earlier was uncalled for. You were incredibly disrespectful to her" said Katie.

"She's my pup so I can treat her how I want to. You can't tell me what to do. You're not my mother" said Elias.

"I've had enough of this. Come on guys let's sit somewhere where there are no bullies" said Ryder.

"I'm not a bully. How can you say that about your friend?" asked Elias.

"You're not our friend if you bully other people. Don't bother coming over after school today. In fact don't even bother coming over at all until you stop being mean to people" said Ryder as he & the others got up & went to another table.

"Oh come on guys. You know I'm not a bully" said Elias.

Ace, Carlos, Danny, Katie & Ryder just glared at Elias before they walked off.

"ALRIGHT FINE BE LIKE THAT THEN. SEE IF I CARE" yelled Elias.

The others just ignored him.

"Why do I continue treating people this way? Now my friends don't want anything to do with me. I have to find a way to stop this behaviour but how? I wish it wasn't so hard to know what to do" thought Elias as he sat at the lunch table alone. The rest of the day went by without any further issues. At the end of the school day as the bus was driving along the road Elias sat & stared out the window thinking about the things that had happened that day. After getting off the bus Angel & Elias went inside. Elias put his stuff in his room & lay down on his bed. He spent most of the afternoon in his room thinking about what had transpired that day. After his parents came home he went downstairs & sat in the lounge to watch TV.

"How was your day Elias?" asked Ella.

"Good. Just the usual really" said Elias.

"He wasn't very nice to other people at school today. He bullied Alex Porter" said Angel.

"Is that true Elias?" asked Ethan.

"No way. I don't know where Angel got that idea from. She must've had a dream about it. I would never do that to anyone" said Elias.

"OK then. Dinner will be ready soon" said Ella.

"OK" said Elias.

Angel glared at Elias for lying to his parents. Elias glared back & made himself look menacing. Eventually Angel relented & looked away. The rest of the night was pretty ordinary. As Elias hopped into bed he thought about the things that had happened at school that day.

"Today was really weird. I feel like I did something wrong but at the same time I feel like everyone else is just overreacting. Maybe tomorrow I'll be able to figure out what this feeling means" thought Elias as he fell asleep.
