The rest of Meulin's day was full of rather boring stuff, things she had already learned before moving to Beforus. The bell signaled for lunch, of course Meulin could not hear it but she could see it's movement. She packed her notebook and pencils into her backpack and headed out of the classroom the the cafeteria. Meulin came to an abrupt stop as she collided with one of the boys from her first class, the one who was messing with the pencil, Cronus. He smirked and grabbed her arm, shoving Meulin up against the wall in the hallway. Meulin furrowed her eyebrows and tried to pry herself out of his grasp. He made a forwarding motion with his hand and a couple of girls came out from some empty classroom. Meulin made a soft whimper of fear, suddenly realizing what was about to happen. Cronus's grip tightened on Meulin's arm and he punched her on the cheek, she yelped and winced. One of the girls, Damara, kicked Meulin and Cronus let go of her as she crumpled to the floor in agony.
Meulin sat there, still crumpled on the ground as the three, Cronus, Meenah, and Damara, kicked her repeatedly and punched her. She made no effort to fight back, for she was used to this, she knew if she fought back things would only get worse.
The torment went on and on as Meulin got more familiar with the school, she had made one or two friends but most seemed to not even notice she exists. And this day wasn't unlike any other, or so she thought. Meulin walked through the halls quickly and quietly, hoping she wouldn't run into the trio. But there was no possible way to avoid them, Cronus appeared first from behind a corner and did his usual routine of shoving against the wall, sort of hate-flirting with her, and then summoning Meenah and Damara to beat her senseless. Meulin, crumpled onto the floor in a right ball, sobbed as she was kicked and beaten. Suddenly all three of them stopped and Meulin looked up to see why, is was another boy, she remembered him from some her classes, Horuss, she thought his name was. Horuss glanced at Meulin and then at the trio.
Meulin wiped her eyes and watched at Horuss lifted Cronus by the collar of his shirt and slammed up against the locker,"What the heck do you think you're doing Ampora? You can't pick on someone just for being different, if I catch you doing this again to her I'll most likely punch you in the face, but for now you have a warning," Horuss dropped Cronus to his feet and sighed. Cronus looked actually frightened from the tall male, he got Meenah and Damara and left. Meulin's mouth gaped as she saw the events that just happened. Horuss knelt down beside Meulin, concern clear on his face. He knew some signlanguage so,hopefully he thought, she could understand him. Horuss began to use signlanguage,'Are you okay? Do you need anything?' Meulin shook her head and a small wave of nausea came over her, she gripped her backpack girly and got out her water bottle, taking a huge drink from it. Horuss pushed up his dark shaded glasses and helped Meulin up off the ground. Meulin smiled at him and thanked him, he smiled back and shrugged, as if to say 'no big deal'. Meulin hugged Horuss tightly, she had no idea why, but it felt right. Horuss looked rather stunned but smiled and hugged her back. Meulin giggled and picked up her stuff after letting go of Horuss. They then walked to lunch together, sometimes writing on a peice of paper or using signlanguage to talk. Meulin grinned as wide as she possibly could, she couldn't help it she had finally made a true friend.
