A few weeks later, Felix was heading downstairs to the cafeteria, when Ralph came running up behind him and shoved him out of his way, making Felix fall down the rest of the stairs. Felix let out a cry of pain mixed with fear as he fell, finally landing hard on his right arm.
"Owwwww!" he yowled, clutching his arm.
"Felix! Are you okay?!" Molly yelled, running down the stairs after him as Ralph ran into the cafeteria, laughing hard.
"I think my arm is broken!" Felix said.
"H-Hang on, I'll find a teacher," Molly told him, running down the hall.
Felix kept holding his arm, afraid to look at it, trying not to cry. He didn't understand what Ralph had against him and wished that he would leave him alone already. Molly came back a minute later with Ms. Calhoun who was already calling for an ambulance to be safe.
"Who shoved you?" Ms. Calhoun asked Felix, kneeling beside him.
"It was Ralph! He's always messing with me and hurting me!" Felix said, a few tears sliding down his cheeks.
"I'll talk to the principal about him. If your arm is broken, which it looks like it is, Ralph can be expelled," Ms. Calhoun said.
Felix nodded, semi happy, but only because he knew Ralph might finally be getting in trouble like he deserved. Never in the past had the bully been caught. Two paramedics came hurrying over just then and began to check Felix's arm, Molly watching nearby.
"Okay, we're going to take you to the hospital, you'll need x-rays and from the looks of it a cast," one paramedic said.
"Have his parents been alerted?" the other paramedic asked Ms. Calhoun.
"Yes, they have. They said they'll be waiting at the hospital," Ms. Calhoun said.
The first paramedic helped Felix stand and led him outside with the second paramedic following. Molly watched them go and couldn't help but feel her hate of Ralph grow as she did.
The next morning was Saturday and Molly sent Felix a text as soon as she got out of bed, asking how he was doing. A few minutes later her phone buzzed and she saw his reply.
'It's broken. It's in a really cool cast though! Want to come over and be the first to sign it!?'
'Sure! I'll be there in a few minutes :)'
'I'll be waiting. Just come on in when you get here, the front door is unlocked. But my parents aren't home, hope you don't mind :)'
Molly smiled and got dressed, excited to see her friend. She really hoped he was doing okay and that his arm would heal soon since he was right handed and loved to build things just for fun. When she got to his house, she went right inside and to his bedroom.
"Knock, knock!" she called, coming in.
Felix was sitting up in his bed with his T.V. on, his arm in a cast, and a bowl of cereal on his lap.
"Hey, Molly," Felix said, digging through his nightstand for a marker, "Here. You can sign it!"
Molly took the marker and signed 'Get well soon, Fix It! I have a broken window at home I need fixed! Just messing with you! Love, Molly'. Felix smiled widely and laughed.
"So what are we watching?" Molly asked, sitting on the edge of Felix's bed.
"Megamind," Felix answered.
"I love that movie!" Molly said, smiling, "So, Ralph is expelled. I had to go talk to the principal yesterday when you left. I let him know what happened and they checked the security videos. He was caught red handed. We don't have to worry about him anymore."
"Finally," Felix sighed happily, relaxing in his bed, "Maybe now high school will go the way I want it to!"
