Chapter 4 : He helped her but will she forgive him?
On his way to the library, he heard a familiar cry of help.
He quickly rush to the way where he heard the cry of help. There, he say a bully threatening yo hit Maggie.
" Here let me offer you a deal, you give me your diamond necklace and I won't hurt you. Deal?" said the bully who was 2 grades higher then him.
" NO way! Some one will help me Im sure. HELP!" screamed Maggie.
Everyone passing by tried their best to ignore her and just sneered at her.
" What a bunch of losers..." though Carlos. Then he shouted, " Don't worry Maggie I'll help you! Man that was stupid..."
" Oh no, please don't let it be ..." said Maggie hoping wasn't a certain someone she hated.
" Oh it's you, the new nerd kid, whattya gonna do bore me to death? Hahaha! " sneered the bully.
Carlos was fuming. He something cold forming on his hands. He looked down at what its seems like a ice ball. He sneered at the bully. He pointed the ice ball towards the bully.
" Well I'm sorry to take your time but your time is about to freeze" he said.
He shot the ice ball towards the bully and soon his whole feet has froze up. He pleaded to make it unfroze back and promise never to hurt any of his friends ever again.
Carlos took a sword from his bag and cracked the ice open. Then the bully ran away. Carlos helped Maggie up.
" Are you okay? " he asked Maggie softly.
Maggie shouted dragging attention," Why can't you just LEAVE ME ALONE?" She kicked and pushed Carlos out of the way and ran to the girls bathroom, crying.
Everyone passing my said in disgust,
"Ugh, what an ungrateful girl!"
"I'm so lucky I didn't help her."
"Pity on what happen to that boy."
"Are you okay Carlos?" asked Luciana going nearer to her brother.
"N-n-no-no I'm n-n-no-no-not..." said Carlos.
"Want me to bring you to the psychiatrist? Or the nurse?" she asked.
" I th-th-think its b-b-b-better to j-j-j-just bring me to a quiet p-pl-place..." he said.
So Luciana brought him to an empty classroom. ( Please don't ask me why are their recess time so long...) There, she tried to calm him down and said that he couldn't do anything to do about it.
The bell rang and everyone went back to class. But Carlos was miserable the whole day. The teacher even ask if he need to be excuse to go to the nurse but he rejected.
As they were going home, they both here a familiar cry of help (again). Luciana brought Carlos where they could hear it and they saw Maggie in the middle of the road and mortar was on her feet. She was stuck!
"Carlos go on and help her!" said Luciana.
"But what if she is mad at me again?" asked Carlos having a flashback.
" You rather to get scolded instead of her dying? Here take this..." said Luciana.
ZOOM! Carlos ran before Luciana could even gave him anything. He took a chainsaw from his bag (His bag can take out a lot of dangerous weapon and hide it) and started sawing a circle around the mortar.
" Hurry Carlos!" said Luciana.
"Hey!" screamed Maggie.
Once he sawed enough, he took the part on where he saw it and toss Maggie to the side of the road. Unfortunately, there was a truck coming and Carlos wasn't fast enough to get out of the way.
SMACK! " CARLOS!" shouted Luciana and surprisingly, Maggie shouted too.
The truck stopped and said he was sorry and though he run over a dog but he didn't notice it was an 6th graded boy.
Then the truck guy moved on. A crowd had form around those 3 5th graders and saw Carlos unconscious and they all panic.
One of them called the police and hospital and told what happen. Carlos was losing a lot of blood so they asked the ambulance to hurry.
As the ambulance arrived, they brought Carlos in and drove away. Luciana can't follow so all she could think about is Carlos. Maggie regretted on ignoring Carlos. She hoped he would be okay.
