“Thank you so much Jenny, I really needed someone like you”
“Ted, you have got to stop this, the more you ignore him, the more he will do to get the attention of everyone around him"
“What can I possibly do, a powerless creature as me?”
“I’ve always told u to do this, tell the coach!” Ted threw the money back in her open hands and walked off with a grown on his face. Jenny had always been telling Ted to tell his coach of what's been happening, as he can heavily affect John's behaviour. He couldn’t. John had warned him about what would happen if he did. He was in a hopeless situation.
Rrrrrrrring The bell screamed. Ted had to go back to Sprinting lesson next. The coach, Mr, Petty would be giving out the results to the P.E. test he had set last lesson. Ted knew he wouldn’t do so well. The revision sheet that Mr. Petty gave to him had been torn in a million pieces by John.
Ted walked into the changing room and sat down. He disliked this PE lesson. Just for one reason, it wasn’t that he hated it, it wasn’t that he was bad at it, but ... he sat right in from of John on the second row from the front, two seats away from the side window.
“Good afternoon kids,” said Mr. Petty, “As you may remember, we did a test last lesson. The majority of you did very well; better than I expected.” he began to hand out the papers. Since Ted didn’t get a chance to revise, he was expecting a C or, at the worst, D. Mr. Petty handed back John’s paper.
“You are doing so well John, I can just imagine you as our next star, keep it up” said Mr. Petty proudly as he pats John on his shoulders.
Ted was obviously not that cleaver, but it was Isaac, the bright one! He was so cleaver, but as weak as me, he was bullied if he didn’t share his answers. Another victim. He has been In a lot of trouble in the past for copying John’s work. Mr. Petty walked slowly up to Ted. His expression of anger, disappointment and sadness all mixed up in his hairy face.
“I know that you are a lot more capable of doing this, this is easy stuff Ted, look at your past grades, A's A*'s can you explain this to me?” he explained. He placed the paper face down on his desk and continued to hand out the rest of them. Ted nervously tried to turn the lifeless paper over, praying for a B, but before he could even think about it, John snatched it off him. H spread the news “Ted got a D minus in his test!” Ted knew he was kidding. He never got below a C.
As a bully, John was somehow a clever boy. He could bully anyone during class and never ever get caught. All the teachers knew he was the, and only star pupil. Well behaved and gifted. This proved that not a single teacher would ever believe is stories. Sooner or later, noticing Mr. Petty approaching, John gave back Ted’s paper. Re-assuring, he opened his eyes and stared at the bloody red ink on top of his paper ' E- ' …
The rest of the lesson raced through the clock, it was like seconds. Ted didn’t give any attention, as well as not learning a single thing. He put so much effort into not making an effort and he was too busy trying to ignore the regular kicking on his squeaking chair. The fact that John beat his grades was too serious!
The only good thing about Mr. Petty was that he would follow this method of always letting the class leave file by file. There you see it; John sat behind Ted, therefore missing the opportunity to catch him. Mr. Petty made everyone leave line by line; Ted grabbed his bag and jogged to the door. As soon as he got to the door, he burst in a sprint.
Ten minutes of torture. John’s ten minutes of Paradise. Ted was sure it wouldn’t end that way. John and his crew. Ted kept running as far as he possibly could. The only place he would go to was the WC. So he had to get there ASAP! Maybe hide in one of the cupboards. His bag was stabbing through his shoulders. He never gave up this time, so e kept running faster and faster. Everyone enjoyed their lives, except Ted, and all that, returns to Johns favour. As he was running and looking around him, he saw the colourful faces that were laughing and smiling, as well as asking himself WHY ME???
Finally, he could see the WC. He sprung to the door and bent his rough body to the tap. He pushed the tap open and battered the water at his face. The door handle squeaked. Ted jumped into a coberd nearby. As soon as the door opened, Ted heard and recognised the satanic voices of Johns crew. His legs were shaking, and his lips were clapping against each other…
"Come on Ted, get out of there, I know you're here!"
"OK, if you want me to come and get you out, I will do it, but it will only harm you kid!" screamed John
Ted's eyes flooded with water, as soon as John kept kicking, and banging the door…
Ted tried to disturb the rest of the boys by pulling out his last few pennies from lunch, and probably something else, yes, his watch. He pulled his hand out of the coberd and caused the gang to argue about sharing the money, they eventually walked off.
“OW YES!, I cannot believe it, I done it, THEY'RE GONE!!!!!!"
As soon as he walked out, John was standing right in front of him,
“ha-ha-haa,” said John. The rest all came out of their little hiding places.. Punching, kicking, pushing, strangling Ted . He had no ability for anything else… He wanted to die.
Ted lay on the stinking wet floor. They ran off innocently, some were looking back and asking for forgiveness in their faces…
As Ted was heading home, he made up his mind, he was to tell the coach tomorrow, what else could have been worse?!
Ted was worrying not to see John anymore today, he was loosing his anger and sadness the closer he got home, he felt a power building up through his body. He spotted a stone on the ground. It looked as pleasant as his lucky stone at home. Its smooth amber colour was too beautiful, although knife sharp at the other end. Then he saw him. John. With another gang of people. He was walking towards Ted. Smiling. Ted turned to run, but an idea formed in his head. It was the only way.
CRRACK !!!
John fell to the ground like a dying animal. Surrounded by a pool of blood. A yelling crowd of people formed all around him. Ted was so baffled. shaky. He thought it was all a dream. He then miraculously saw Jenny. Ted ran to her.
“Wh-Wh-at did I do?” he stuttered. Jenny shoved him out of her way, as tears engulfed her sweet cheeks.
