The bully

I might have mentioned you people about a bully in our school especially my batchmate Bora. She was like very different from us. In our class there are only 3 girls including her who are from another tribe. The remaining others including me are from same tribe. She was like that from first grade itself. She only bullied the girls only. I dont know if the guys in my batch were even aware about that thing. She would order us to write her homework, carry her bag and we always had to obey her. No matter what. We were like always so much scared of her.

There was this incident that I recall is that at one time, I sat in the window seat in our school bus. Everyone was so hurry to go home and to get the window seats since we can look outside and it was always a great pleasure to get a window seat. So like I said I sat down by the window seat and was like so happy. My friend Tesla was sat down at next window seat. We both were looking at each other and were like how lucky we were that day and all but we didn't know that something was wrong. When we were about to reached our stop, out of sudden Bora started to make mess of Tesla's hair. I saw the horror Tesla felt at that moment. She was so scared and so do I. Now the next turn was mine. She just like out of sudden reached my neck and started to choked me. I was so much in grasping for air the whole time then she said who asked you to sit at window seat it's all mine to use. After that incident I never got to sat down by the window seat ever.

Some months later I remembered that during our handwriting class, we had got many handwriting homeworks to do. Also at that day we got like one free class since all the teachers went to school meeting that day. Since we were in section B class, I was the monitor. I had the responsibility to maintain the silence in the class. Most of us were completing our homeworks. During that time I saw that Tesla was sitting beside a girl called Yusra. They both were completing their handwriting homework together. At that time nothing was going on but a little later Yusra went out suddenly running toward section A class towards Bora and was crying. I was like what the hell did happened now. Yusra's face had few splash ink. I asked Tesla how did this happened? Tesla explained to me that when she was writing, her inkpen stopped all of sudden so she just took the ink pen and started moving the pen but suddenly ink splash out from pen and landed on Yusra's face who was sitting beside her. Yusra didnt told me anything but she ran fast to Bora because she was from same tribe as Bora. They had a thing for same tribemates. Then here comes Bora with anger on her face and then she ask Yusra to do the same to Tesla. When I was about to explain, Yusra had poured all the ink she had in her hand on Tesla's face. I was so shocked and so did the whole class. I saw how sad and disheartening it was for Tesla to go through all of this without hearing her point. Tesla cried her eyes out. We were not able to do anything for her. At the end of the day we all went to home as usual. The next day here comes Tesla with her father mr. Packwood. Mr. Packwood was so furious that day. Tesla is his only child. Later we got to know that Tesla had told what had happened yesterday and also about we girls getting bullied by Bora. Mr. Packwood asked the headmaster for teacher's meeting that day and revealed everything he heard from his daughter. So we all were getting called to the office and asked about getting bullied. But no one was ready to tell anything. Tesla was watching me and as we had eyes contact, I knew that she wanted me to help her. So when it was my turn to speak, I spilled the beans in front of the teachers like what we all girls had to go through because of Bora everyday. Later on Bora's parents were called. She didnt got suspended from school or anything but was counselled. Since she was a child like us and we were only 8 years old. That day I felt like I stand up for not only Tesla but also for myself. For my self respect and self esteem. I felt so proud of my self. But my bestie Ziya was not happy with what I did. She was like now you had said everything to the teachers, Bora won't be sparing me next time. I was so shocked and told her till when we are going to stay like a servant or like clerk. Bora had to learn her lesson for what she did. As far as I remember, she never bullied anyone in my knowledge. Now she was same as us.
