Mike – After Journey
Another "A" on a Physics test. Not unusual. The slushie in my face the minute I stepped out of class? Completely unexpected. I could barely make out the shapes of Karofsky and his friends through the corn syrup and ice clouding my vision. To think that I once joked around with these guys after football practice.
I just stood there, frozen into place. Hearing the suppressed mutters from my classmates, I hurried in the direction of the bathrooms. But not before I heard someone whisper, "Loser".
That's what made me realize that I'd been no better than the other jocks. I never actively bullied anyone, but I hadn't done anything to stop it. Being a bystander was just as bad. I don't know how Rachel and Kurt do it. They get slushied almost everyday and go on with their lives as if nothing had happened. On the other hand, it was taking everything I had to keep from bursting into tears.
"Oh, man up," I muttered to myself, and entered the bathroom quickly. But I couldn't stop something wet from falling from my eyes. It wasn't the slushie.
"I can't change the past, but I can change all of this in the future," I said, looking at my reflection in the mirror. "I'm not going to be a bystander again, if I can help it." Feeling better, I left the bathroom with a clean face and a positive attitude.
