Principal's Office (extended)
Ms. Rose's classroom. Right before recess time.
In the classroom, right before recess, the kids are taking turns answering math problems. Sometimes, on days like this, when the kids have been especially good all day, the teacher brings out the 'big kid' math too see how many problems the children can do.
"Okay, boys and girls. We have time for five more problems." Ms. Rose writes some problems on the board.
"All right, who wants to answer these?" A lot of the kids' hands shoot up in the air, one of them being JJ's. Ms. Rose starts calling up some kids, and then everyone gets to work on the problems.
As the kids work very hard on the chalkboard, the other kids in the class, work on their pieces of papers at their desks. After a few minutes, Ms. Rose tells everyone to put their pencils and chalks down.
Ms. Rose checks the problems and is very proud to find only two people missed the problems on the board and three at the desks missed them.
"Great job, everyone!" She praises the room. "Why don't we line up for recess and when we get back, we can go over the problems." Everyone cheers. The kids line up and patiently wait for their teacher to come to the door.
"Okay, I want everyone to walk in a nice, single file down the hall. No talking, now. And put your hands behind your back, please." The kids file out and once they reach the door, they all scatter, going to different parts of the playground.
JJ's P.O.V.
I skip out of my class and to the playground. Its last recess and most of the children have their books with them as they are allowed to study or work out in the sun at the picnic tables on the playground.
I look all around trying to find Emmy. I wanna tell her that I got all my math problems right in class. But I don't see her. Instead, I see my friend Dakota walking with his books. He likes to bring out books so Claire, Noah, and I can all read them at recess time.
I go to run over to ask if he wants to play house with Claire and Noah, but then I stop. I see the mean boy who bullies us, Joshua Stokes. Joshua is a boy in sixth grade. He makes it his mission every day to terrorize the kids in the lower elementary. He thinks it's funny to push kids down. Joshua even makes fun of the little kids.
I watch him go over to 'Kota and knock the books out of his hands before shoving the 'Kota to the ground while he and his friends, Cameron and Jason laugh in Dakota's face. I get mad; really mad. I stomp over to Joshua and 'Kota.
"Joshua, leave Dakota alone!" I yell, forgetting for a moment that I promised Emmy to always use my words and not my hands. "You're just a big meanie and you need to go away!"
Joshua laughs and turns to Cameron. "Look, Cam, the little first-grade baby is trying to act tough." Joshua turns back to me while Cameron and Jason laugh along with him.
"Leave us alone, Joshua! Just go way; 'Kota didn't do anything to you!"
"What are you going to do if I don't, huh? Go home crying to your mammy? You're just a big baby." Joshua says and then he pushes me just enough to make me stumble but not enough for me to fall.
I quickly push him back and am able to make him fall on the ground scraping his hand on the gravel. I gasp. Oh, no. I forgot; Emmy's gonna be so mad at me. But I don't have time to think about that, because,
Cameron gasps. "You little brat! I'm going to get the duty teacher!" Cameron and Jason don't make it far, as the duty teacher Ms. Jones, is already making her way over to us.
"Hey, hey, hey! What is going on here?" Ms. Jones yells, pulling me away from Joshua.
"Ms. Jones, JJ pushed Joshua down and he wasn't doing anything!" Cameron tattles making me open my mouth in shock.
"No, I didn't!" I yell back. Oh, now, my mind decides to use its words? "Joshua pushed 'Kota down and then he pushed me!"
"No I didn't!" Joshua lies. "I wasn't doing anything. JJ just came over and pushed me down!"
The duty teacher sighs. "Okay, JJ, I need you to come with me. We're going to have to talk with the principal. Joshua, why don't you come with me and we'll have the nurse look at your hand."
"Hey!" I shout as we all move to the doors. "I didn't do anything! Joshua pushed 'Kota down first!"
"Now, JJ," The teacher starts in a patronizing voice. "It's not nice to lie. I am sorry, but I saw you push Joshua down. Cameron and Jason both say that you pushed him down. Joshua says he did not do anything, that he did not push Dakota down." We stop in front of the nurse's office and the duty teacher speaks with the nurse for a moment. Once Ms. Jones sends Jason and Cameron back to the playground, she continues down the hall to the office.
I huff and cross my arms. This is so unfair! Joshua pushes me and 'Kota, but I'm the one that gets in trouble!
At the office, the duty teacher brings me into the main part. The secretary, Ms. Linda, glances up. "Well, hello JJ." She says. "What brings you in here?"
I just shrug. I've decided I'm not talking to anyone at all. The duty teacher decides to answer for me. "Well, it seems here, Miss Jareau is having a hard time keeping her hands to herself. She and Joshua got into an argument and JJ here, she got a little handsy. I think she may need to talk with Principle Edwards." She pauses. "Joshua should be in here in a few moments. He's with the nurse right now."
The secretary frowns at me. "Uh, oh. Well, why don't you have a seat there by the door. The principle will be out in just a few moments." I sigh and sit down. I really wish the duty teacher would believe me. I didn't do anything, honest!
The duty teacher leaves and I bring my legs up. I wrap my arms around my legs and start to cry again. Ms. Linda comes over to me.
"JJ, honey, I will be right back, okay? I have to run down the hall for a moment." I just nod and watch her leave. After she leaves, the door opens again. I think it's maybe Emmy and look up. I frown. It's not Emmy, it's Joshua.
"Hey, brat." He says, coming closer to me. "You better hope I don't get in trouble or I'll make sure you really hate it here." I jump from my seat, ready to fight.
"This is your fault, Joshua! You pushed 'Kota down and then you lied! You should be the one that gets in trouble!" I say with my arms crossed.
"No! You lied. You pushed Dakota down and then you pushed me. And that's exactly what I'm going to the principle."
"You leave me alone, Joshua! I hate you!" Joshua makes a mean face at me, it's the same face Emmy calls a 'scow'. Joshua pushes me down to the chair and kicks my leg. It starts to hurt and I start to cry.
"Oh, look," Joshua taunts. He makes a mean face at me again. "The little baby is crying; boo-hoo." Joshua makes another mean face and then he leaves. He was supposta talk to the principle, but he didn't. Now I really am going to get in trouble.
I sit in the chair for what seems like forever. I really want my mammy… and Emmy. I just don't want Emmy to be mad at me because I used my hands and not my words. She said she didn't like it when my teacher told my mammy that I got in trouble last year. Emmy said she wants me to always use my big girl words to tell others what the problems are. Never my hands.
Mammy says that if I get in trouble then I won't be able to go to Nana and Papa's or Emmy's house. She says I'm six years old, and that's old enough to not get into fights. She also says that if someone is being mean to me, or bullying me, to tell the teacher or just walk away, and if I see someone bullying another person, I am supposta go to the duty teacher or find a grown up. Or I am supposta take that person's hand and walk away. Or I can say to the bully 'you are being rude to me, and I am going to walk away. Please don't follow me.'
I had a lot of options, but I didn't do any of those things.
Suddenly I hear Emmy's voice. She asking Mrs. Johnson, the secretary, to let her come in. When Mrs. Johnson opens the door, Emmy comes right over to me and asks what's wrong.
I tell her I forgot to use my words, and that I don't want her to be mad at me. She tells me to calm and asks what happened. After I tell her, we sit and wait for my mammy to get here and then me and mammy talk to the principal.
He decides to call Dakota to the office, and ask him what happened. After that, he tells mamma that I am not in trouble and that Joshua has been suspended from school for three whole days cause he was bullying Dakota.
Then mamma says we can go home, and Emily comes with us. She also says she's proud of me for standing up to the bully and helping Dakota, and I'm Emmy is not mad at me.
