Hello again! It's good to see that so any people feel the same way as I do about bullying. Of course, this story is to simply draw attention to what can happen to people, if bullying is left to get out of hand. So, the next chapter is the next day, and remember, I'm only picking out the best and worst parts of my time at my school, so I really hope you guys are reading with open minds here. God knows you'll need one to see my view on these scenarios. Anyway, let's get to it! Remember, Leon POV.
Bullied
Chapter 2: PE
YEAR 7. DAY 2...
The next day I woke up a little slower than usual. I don't know what it was, but something told me today wasn't gonna be such a good day. I just had this feeling, and trust me, my instincts were usually correct. Getting up, my routine consisted of what every other twelve-year-old child did: having breakfast, getting dressed, brushing my teeth, checking my school bag. If I got a minute, I spent it relaxing in my bedroom, which was the smallest in the house. Not out of being forced; I had asked my mum if I could have this room.
"Leon?" My mum called. She was at the foot of the stairs, from the sound of her voice.
"Yeah?" I replied.
"There's a girl at the door."
My eyes enlarged at that anecdote. I sprinted to the top of the stairs.
"What?"
"At the door. There is a girl." She said, smiling at the reference.
"Two things mum. One, nice Shaun Of The Dead reference. Two, stop pulling my leg."
"Seriously Leon! Come and look." She walked off after that, but she was still smirking. Confused, and curious, I went to the door.
It was Lilly.
"Woah! Lilly! Did NOT expect to see you here..."
Lilly laughed a tinkling laugh. It was a gorgeous sound she made.
"Well, are you coming to school or not?"
"Y-Yeah. Two secs." I said, closing the door.
My mum was right behind me, still smirking.
"Well, what did I say?"
"Shut up mum. I've gotta get going!"
Tearing past her, I retrived my school bag from the kitchen, took my keys from the hook, and opened the door again.
Lilly was still there, smiling at me. But she was not alone.
She was now accompanied by a girl with dark brown hair, and her hair got lighter as you went down to the tips. She has huge green eyes, like emeralds I decided.
"Leon, this is my friend Kaylee Davis. She's quite shy, but she'll open up the more you get to know her."
Kaylee just gave a polite nod to me, and I smiled back. Together, the three of us headed off.
FORM TIME...
Throwing my rucksack off my back, I slumped into a seat next to Humphrey.
"Hey gayboy." Humphrey said.
"Good morning to you too, H." I said, smirking at him.
"How was Lilly?" He asked, a smirk emerging on his own face.
"How do you-"
"She text me this morning saying she was knocking for you with Kaylee." Humphrey said, jealousy raising ever so slightly in his voice.
"Why do you sound jealous? It's only Lilly and Kaylee."
A light punch in the arm, plus Humphrey's mock shocked expression, was enough to make me laugh.
"ONLY? Kaylee is fit!"
Shrugging, I said: "Didn't really notice."
Humphrey nudged me with his elbow.
"That's because you were to busy eyeing up Lilly right?"
"Humphrey?" I said.
"Yes?"
"Shut up." I said, smiling and winking at him.
He laughed loudly, before we both launched in to conversation.
BREAK...
"I've only just realised how boring school is." I said, sitting upon a bench, my head in my hands.
Garth sat next to me.
"I realised this yesterday." He said, stealing a cake from my hand and eating it whole.
"Hey! I was eating that!" I said, looking at him.
"Well, you ain't anymore." He said grinning.
"Bastard!" I said, before chasing after him, laughing my head off.
The two of us ripped around the school, laughing in unison. When we finally made it back to where we were sitting, Lilly and Humphrey had taken seats on the bench.
"Hey guys." Garth said, smiling from ear-to-ear.
"Hey. What you guys got after break?" Lilly asked, curiosity getting the better of her.
"I've got PE with Humphrey." I said.
As if on cue, the whistle for the end of break came. We all said our good-byes and me and Humphrey went to PE.
The sports centre at the school is huge. It came with the 'Specialist Sports College' in our school name. But this was our first PE lesson, so things would be interesting. I got into the changing room, and Humphrey began to snigger at my sports kit.
"What the hell man?" He said between giggles.
My PE kit was about a size to small for me, but let me explain.
You see, I'm a rugby player. I play full back, so (as the name suggests, I'm right at the back of the field.) But, if you wear clothes which are baggy, then it's easier for people to grab hold of you. So I began to wear tighter rugby kit. No-one said anything, because no-one could get a hold a hold on me, because my clothes were literally skin tight. Because that's what I'm used to when it comes to sports kit, I always wear things like that when it comes to sport.
I explained this to Humphrey, and he seemed satisfied. After all, it was a logical explanation.
The rest of the class had arrived now. They all took in my appearance.
"Hey Leon, you gay or something?" one shouted.
"No. Why do you think that?" I retorted, my voice confused.
"Well, your shorts are so tight I can see your dick!" someone else yelled. The whole class laughed, and I turned red with embarrassment. I honestly didn't see the problem with it. It's what I'm used too! So when the laughter stopped, I gave them the exact same explanation I gave Humphrey. A few of them nodded, seeing the sense in this, but others just laughed harder. I hated people laughing at me. I really hated it.
"SHUT UP!" I screamed. I had never screamed that loud in my life, and everyone shut up. Everyone staring at me. I was close to losing it, but I kept myself under control. Crazy wasn't my style, unless I was on the rugby pitch. Turning, I kicked the door open, and walked out. Everyone started to jeer as I left. I sat outside, and began to silently cry.
I hated people who jeered at me. I hated people who took the mick. But I didn't understand why though. I mean, it made sense. I was just used to tight sports kit.
Everyone came out. I quickly straightened up, dryed my eyes, and proceeded to the sports track.
I swear, I'm gonna get these guys back if it's the last thing I do. I thought. But that was a threat I would never carry out. It wasn't my style.
Well, I think that's a half decent example of bullying. This is exactly what happened in my first PE lesson. But, one thing has already narked me off.
Already, someone has said he doesn't believe this is real. I guarantee you all, this is true. I don't lie to people, never have, never will.
Well, that's chapter 2 done. Keep your eyes open for the next chapter coming soon!
