Standing up to a Bully and Making a new Friend

~~ My Friends and Readers bullying is never okay. If you are being bullied please tell someone. Because no one has the right to make you feel uncomfortable. If someone is bullying you stand up to them or tell an adult or someone you know will help you. Please Do not allow these people to run or ruin your life. If you think no one cares for you that is wrong I do! your family does. ~~~

The next day was hard for me because I had plans on confronting Victor and Monty about what they did. Haley and Sarah urged me to report it to the principal or even have Papa come here to talk to the principal, but I didn't want Papa involved in it. 'Marie it might be a good idea to let you Dad know what those two did.' Sarah said when I sat down at the table at lunch. I thought about it for a minute 'I don't know if I should because he tends to be overprotective like a certain Red Ninja Ranger I know.' I said then looked over at Brody who had just took a bit of his lunch. 'What?' Brody said looking at us 'Nothing' I said smiling at him shaking my head. We finished eating then talked about the festival that was coming up at the end of the week. 'Are you two ready for the show?' Haley said smiling at Levi and I. 'I think I am. I just do not know about the tights I have to wear.' Levi said looking over at me with a pained look on his face. 'Oh, that reminds' Haley said looking over at Brody 'I will be taking Marie home today' 'Why?' Brody said with some lettuce hanging out of his mouth. 'Haley is doing the alterations on my dress for the festival' I said leaning over whipping his mouth then kissed him softly. 'oh ok' He said then went back to eating his lunch. 'How many did you get?' Calvin said looking at his tray. 'uhm two one for me the other for Marie, but she brought her lunch, so I am eating hers' Brody said looking over at him. 'Here give me your trash and I will take it to the trash can' I leaned forward kissed his cheek. I walked over to the trash can I turned to walk back to the table when someone stopped me 'Well I see that you and Brody are back on good terms. Even though he was told about your secret relationship with Levi' I heard a voice behind me I turned around to see Victor standing there. 'I don't want to talk to you Victor Vincent' I said then started to walk away from him 'Excuse me Did I say you can walk away from me?' he said grabbing my arm then pulled me outside throwing me against the wall. 'I will tell you when I done talking to you.' I just glared at him he was talking to me like I was his servant 'Excuse me I don't know who you think you are, but last time I checked you and I are not a couple or anything.' I said trying to get away from him 'Where do you think you are going?' Victor grabbed my arm pushing me back to the wall. 'I am going to my boyfriend.' I said then pushed him away from me. I walked back to the table where everyone was at. I got half way there when Victor caught up to me grabbing my arm then started trying to get me to walk back outside with him. 'BRODY' I yelled as Victor started to pull me back out side. I watched as Brody and the other ran to catch up to us. 'Victor let her go' Levi said running to catch up with her. Victor managed to get me back outside then turned to Monty 'What ever you do keep them away from us. Do not allow any of them to follow us you hear me' Victor said then walked over to me grabbing me by my arm. 'Let me go!' I yelled then kicked him in the leg. 'You are going to come with me.' Victor said bending down placing me over his shoulders. I started to move as much as I could till Victor had enough then placed me on the ground. 'Will you let me go!' I said trying to get away from him 'NO!' he said then slapped me across the face. I fall to the ground holding my face 'Now listen to me! I do not care what you want. When I tell you that you will break up with Brody you will break up with him. I am the guy that you are supposed to be with not him!' Victor said looking at me with a mean look in his eye. 'Every girl wants to go out with me.' I just looked at him I knew for a fact that I did not want a thing to do with him. 'Victor for one I do not like you and I never will. I can see right through your disguise.' I said standing up then walked over to him. 'I am head over heels in love with Brody. I have loved him since the first time I met him. How dare you tell me how I can be with' I said backing him up to the wall. 'You will leave me alone, you will leave him alone, and if you ever lay a finger on me' I reached back and punched him right in the nose. I watched as Victor crumpled to the floor 'Victor, Victor' Monty called running up to then bent down to help Victor stand up. 'Marie are you ok?' Brody said running up to me 'OUCH!!' I screamed holding my hand. Brody smiled then kissed my hand 'Did you punch him?' Preston said when he got there. 'Yes, he made me mad' I said looking at Preston. Brody looked at my hand then kissed my knuckles rubbing them after. 'What happened here?' Ms. Alberts said walking up to us 'Victor Vincent are you ok?' She bent down to check to make sure that he was alive and breathing 'No I am not she hit me.' Victor said standing up holding a rag to his nose. 'Ms. Keith is that true?' Ms. Alberts said giving me a shocked look on her face. 'Self defense Miss. Victor hit me first' I said rubbing my hand looking at her 'I did not' Victor said with a shocked look. I looked at him as he stood there told Ms. Albert this twisted story making it sound like I was some sick person wanting him when I was with the one I wanted to be with. I watched Ms. Alberts as she listened to Victor's story, but the one person I truly was watching was Monty because I could tell he really didn't want to go along with Victor's lies anymore. 'Monty do you have something to add?' Ms. Alberts said looking at Monty we all turned to look at Monty who I could tell wanted to say something, but Victor stood there giving him a look I could not really explain. 'Ms. Keith, Mr. Romero, and Mr. Tein you need to get to class.' Ms. Alberts said giving me a small smile. 'She is not getting in trouble?' Victor said raising his voice 'Mr. Vincent I saw what you did. I could understand why she did hit you. I am sure she will get dealt with by the principal, but I will tell her myself what I saw. You on the other hand follow me' Ms. Alberts said taking his arm walking him toward the front office. 'Ms. Keith if the principal needs to talk to you she will call you to the office, but I will speak for you.' She said turning to me. I turned around and looked at Brody I wanted to run into his arms and cry my heart out. 'Its okay. Victor got what a lot of girls have been wanting to do for a long time' Brody said opening his arms up to me. I ran into them then buried my face into his chest starting to cry. 'Are you okay?' Brody said rubbing my back the lifted my chin so that I would look him in his eyes. 'I just feel really hurt.' I said then laid my head on his chest. He stood there holding me allowing me to finish crying. 'Marie' I heard a voice call my name. I turned around and saw Monty standing there 'Yes' I turned around whipping my eyes 'I am sorry about what Victor did to you.' He said looking down at the ground 'Monty why are apologizing for his actions. He should be the one doing it' I said walking up to him 'I should had told him to leave you alone, and that you were happy. He thinks he all this stuff that he is not. We have been friends for so long that I just go along with him because well I have no other friends' I felt so bad for Monty he truly looked like he had no other friend in the world. I looked at Brody and Preston then back at Monty. 'Why are you saying that you have other friends.' I walked up to him and hugged him tight I felt him slowly wrap his arms around my waist then hugged me in return. 'I am your friend.' I looked at him and smiled. 'I am your friend' Brody said reaching for his hand. 'Me too' Preston said giving him a smile. 'Monty you need to stand up to Victor. He is feeding off your insecurities and if he knew that you had other options he would not treat you so bad.' We stood there a minute as Monty thought about what I just said. 'Your right' He looked at us then gave us a huge smile. 'Come on we better get to class' Brody said the took my hand leading me to class.

The rest of the day went normally Monty stayed close to me and walked with me to class. At the end of the day he walked with me to front of the school where we sat and talked till his mom pulled up 'See you tomorrow' I said waving to him as he walked to her car. 'You know I think your amazing' Brody said as he slipped his arms around my waist then kissed me on the cheek. I smiled at him then turned around kissed him softly 'You are amazing too, well sometimes I think you are epic' I said giggling. He smiled at me then took my backpack leading me to the parking lot where Haley and the others were waiting on us.
