"So that's what really happened..."
Alpheus and Alfonso could only nod at me after I finally heard the whole story about what happened yesterday—something I had no idea about until now.
I was sitting in the principal's office with them while the kids were already in their classrooms. I lowered my head in shame.
I had no clue that the children had been experiencing bullying for some time now. And the worst part? Even the school principal himself got involved—and sided with the bullies.
The kids hadn't told me anything. After I stormed out of the restaurant following my resignation, I immediately got busy trying to look for another job.
I picked them up from school, but after that, I barely paid attention to them. I didn't even notice their mood when they came home. I never even asked them how school went.
