It was a betrayal of the kids in this class! I
picked up my phone and called a few people.
I kicked the door open, and walked right in.
There were the principal, the teacher, Tiffany and Patricia, and a big, greasy man, who
must have been Tiffany’s dad. The teacher
said, “How rude! Do you even know how to
knock? No wonder your daughter is so
violent.‘
I ignored her and went right to the principal.
“Mrs. Thompson, my daughter is getting
bullied and hurt at school! What happened
here?”
Mrs. Thompson faked a smile. “I’ve already

here?”
Mrs. Thompson faked a smile. “I’ve already
looked into it. Lily started it. Since it’s her

Tiffany was hurt more! So we are here to
discuss what to do about it, especially since

I stood up, pointed to Mrs. Thompson and
said “Are you completely out of your mind?
How is it that a person can be this
shameless? You must be proud of your thick
face!”
“You! How dare you talk to me like that?
That’s very rude.”
“Where did I use any bad words? I’m just
saying if you didn’t want to get called out,
you shouldn’t have acted that way! Get a
brain before you hurt your students!”
Patricia jumped in, “My husband will make
sure your life here is miserable.”
“Are you protected by a special animal rights
organization, or what?”

organization, or what?
The greasy man stood up. “You shouldn’t say things you’ll regret. You can’t afford to mess
with us.

“I don’t care who you are. I’ll always be me, and you’ll always be garbage.”
He was so angry, he was about to hit me.
