So, I have put all my other projects aside just so I could post this story, I hope that tells something about how serious I am about this, you will figure out later why I am so serious about it. Please note that this is a serious issue I cannot keep silent about any longer. So sorry if I have posted less chapters on other projects because of it. Anyway, I hope someone can learn from this. If you are bullied, tell someone! Even if it's a helpline, I am also free to listen to your stories. (Though I'd advice to tell someone you trust.) please know we are here for you, and we will stand beside you. Mark my words, the longer we stay silent, the worse it gets. Don't stand besides, do something!
Also, if you want to know all the songs I used lyrics from scroll all the way down the final chapter.
This story has already been completed and a Chapter is released every single day.
Bullying project, Chapter 1, The first day.
Warning, this story talks about serious issues, this story features violence and injury. Don't say I didn't warn you.
In this alternate universe, between Barking Burg and adventure bay, stood a school. A school for dogs, similar to the middle schools we have in our world. The pups of the paw patrol decided to enter the school as well, to learn more about their surroundings and things they previously never cared about. This middle school works with certain subjects you don't often see in our middle schools, specially designed so the pups always have something interesting to do. Sometimes the paw patrol pups have to leave class to do missions, but for the rest, nothing has changed for the school since the Paw Patrol came to the school. Everyone got used to them quickly, apart from two dogs, who tried picking on Marshall. It stopped quickly though as Marshall used humor to seem self-confident, the dogs never bothered him again, probably because he had Chase beside him as well. Apart from Marshall and Chase, who liked to stick to themselves and not get a bunch of new friends, the other pups found their own friend groups. Skye had her two friends, twin pups who looked like they ran on energy drinks. Rocky and Rubble found three nice friends who would even be friends with the pups if they came from a trashcan. And Zuma has his own friend group, let's meet them shall we.
The first day of the second grade for the paw patrol pups.
It is still early in the morning, most paw patrol pups are still eating their food and getting their stuff ready, but chocolate Labrador Zuma is already walking on the streets. It's a different route than the other pups take, but it's Zuma's favorite. Exiting the town, Zuma walks on a road with cliffs on one side, and empty fields on the other side. On the side of the cliff's, you could find many caves. One of them, Zuma entered. One other pup was already waiting there, a Mudi breed dog with a calm attitude was sitting inside.
'Hey Riley!' Zuma said enthusiastically as he entered the cave.
'Hey, you seem excited.' Riley reacted.
'Yeah, I'm really excited for the new year, it may be a little more difficult, but I'm so excited to start in the second-grade class.' Zuma said, barely able to contain his happiness.
'I can understand that. I remember being excited back in the day myself.' Riley said.
'Yeah, you are going to fifth grade, right?' Zuma asked.
'Yes, next year is my final year, time is flying by.' Riley said, a little sad.
'Yeah, but we can still meet here, right?' Zuma asked.
'I think so yes, they always say you lose contact with old schoolmates easily, but I think I love this cave too much.' Riley said with a smile.
'Yeah, this cave already has so many fun memories since we started meeting here with Roscoe and Oscar.' Zuma said, looking around the tiny cozy cave.
'Who called me?' Zuma and Riley looked to the cave entrance; Oscar had appeared.
'There is our Catahoula leopard buddy.' Riley joked.
'Really, why is saying my whole breed easier for you than my real name.' Oscar wondered.
'Good question classmate, I don't know.' Riley answered. 'Ready for fifth grade?'
'I guess so, more excited to have the full group together again.' Oscar said.
'Yeah, where is Roscoe actually, it's almost time to start walking to the school.' Zuma thought out loud. Then, running sounds appeared in the distance.
'Oh, there he is.' Riley commented.
Seconds later the bull terrier appeared in the cave entrance.
'I'm on time, right?' Roscoe said.
'Just about.' Riley said. 'We should start walking.'
'I agree.' Zuma said.
The pups exited the cave and started walking towards their school. As they arrived, the schoolyard was already filling up. A school yard filled with excited pups ready for school, only the sixth graders looked a bit grumpy.
'I'm going to miss having you in my class.' Zuma told Roscoe.
'Yeah, redoing first grade will be annoying, but at least I might know some answers from last year.' Roscoe said.
'I'm certain that if you go for it, maybe I'll even see you back in my grade one day.' Zuma said.
'Would be nice, we'll see what happens.' Roscoe said.
