BEFORE SCHOOL

Freddie & I walked to school together since we were both going to talk to Principle Franklin. Also Freddie wanted to protect me from Carly and Chris. When we got to school, we knocked on the principle's door.

Ted opened the door and said "Hello Sam & Freddie. What do you want?"

"Uh, we want to talk to you about a few things." Freddie replied

"Okay, come on in." Principle Franklin leaded the way in.

We explained what happened with Carly & Chris and Principle Franklin believed us. He also let us have a locker together! Yay! And also, he's going to ring Spencer and whoever Chris's mom is and tell them what's going on. Ha!

Chris's Point Of View

AFTER SCHOOL

I was walking home. I live about 5 minutes away from Bushwell Plaza if I walk, so I'll go to Carly's later. When I got home, I knocked on the door.

My mom opened the door and said "Chris! Get in here right now!"

Wow. I haven't seen her angry in quite a while. I wonder what's up with her.

When I got in, I just ignored her and went upstairs hoping she wouldn't talk to me anymore.

"Chris. Don't you dare just walk off on me! We need to talk now!"

"Okay mom." I said as I walked down the stairs.

Mom gripped onto my arm and dragged me to the kitchen.

"I got a call from Principle Franklin saying that you and Carly have been bullying a girl called Sam."

"No I haven't." I said

"Christina. You know I don't like lies. If you tell the truth there will still have consequence, but if you lie, the consequence will be worse. I'm sure a principle wouldn't lie."

"Fine, I have been bullying Sam, but she was mean to me first. On the first day, she tried to take my fried chicken from me."

"Is that the reason you started bullying her?"

"Yes." I replied

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"'Cause, I didn't think you needed to know."

"Chris. I am your mother. You can tell me anything. Even if it's negative, I need to know."

"Okay mom. I'm sorry I've been bullying Sam, but I guess the first day made me really mad and it wasn't a good start. So, I gave her revenge."

"Well, revenge is not good. You don't want to sink to her level. Just ignore mean people. You know you're a beautiful person deep down and I don't want you to become part of the cool group. Do you really want to be that person?" Mom asked

"No, but I guess I just felt a connection with Carly when I first met her. I didn't want to be a loner, so I just became like Carly."

"Oh. Don't let other people make you do stuff you aren't comfortable with. If that's what Carly's doing, she's not a true friend. So tomorrow when you see Carly, just ignore her. If she pressures you into something tell her you're not interested and walk away."

"Thank you mom! You're finally getting me to realize who I really was, and I don't want to be like that." I said

We hugged.

"Just don't do it again." Mom said
