I had just finished a test

the bell was about to ring

I packed my stuff up and was ready to go.

Counting down,

Staring at the clock

Realizing it's not helping time go by any faster

Two minutes later 

Which felt like hours

The Bell finally Rang


I sprinted toward my locker

trying to get out there before 

The biggest bullies in school walked through 

not 1, 

not 2 

but 3 of them

I'm telling you enormously big

Like as big as a full-grown pig

you could hear them from across the school

Sounding like a herd of animals walking through the hall

Always coming through 2 minutes after the bell

I ran to my locker as fast as a lizard

Sprinted

Pushed

Shoved

Whatever I had to do

To get through to everyone.

My heart was pounding so fast

The nerves and rage going through my head

I was not gonna have it with them today

And for what!

They think they're there all huffing and puffy

But everyone knows they’re not

it's not that I have something against them personally

it's the fact that they bully everyone

Treating them like trash

Disrespecting them


They weren’t gonna ruin my day today

I did what I knew was right 

I went on to class 

Didn’t even have to see them 

I was so excited 

The rest of my day turned out amazing

This is a relatable piece that teens in middle school and highschool fear
