Term2 Week7 Realised

Mark had a silver spoon in his mouth when he was born and he had servants to tend to him as if he was a king. He was the only child in the house and the parents pampered him and bought anything that he fancy for. He had always been protected by his parents and had never been bullied. He himself does not know how to protect himself and this made him vulnerable to attacks by the more mischievous boys in school not only was he born in a rich family, but he also have a god set of values and a good character. This made the bullied in school more wanting to bully him.

One day, he was walking along the corridor in the school around mid-afternoon when suddenly a tall and large figure appeared right before him, with a few others who seem to be his friends stood behind him. "Hey you! You are the rich kid in school right?" Johnny, the notorious school bully, questioned Mark with a smirk. Johnny had been the school's "icon" and had ruined the school's reputation. He had robbed and steal before but he was not expelled and many in the school was hoping that he would someday put himself in the papers and had him expelled out of the school. His bullying of others is not because he liked it but just to gain people’s attention and his hnuger for it is insatiable. His presence makes the surrounding nervous, you never know what happens next.

Trying to be humble, Mark said, "Erm, I don't think so, there are a lot of rich kids in school too." not knowing that danger was right before him, he excused himself from Johnny and walked away. "Hey wait up, who said you can leave! I just wanna make friends with you, don’t leave in such a hurry,” Johnny said to Mark in a sarcastic tone. When Mark realized that they were finding for trouble with him, it was too late to escape. The school bully and friends had surrounded him and all of them were taller and bigger in size then him. There was no way he could fight it out with them. He resorted to trying to convince Johnny to let him go but the latter did not budge but instead, under Johnny’s hand signal, his friends went up and started bashing Mark up. He was crying and groaning in pain but no one was in sight that could have gone to his rescue. Even if there were, they would do their best to get out of the sight of Johnny and his friends, afraid that a glance at them will earn them a bruise on their face. Mark was kicked and whacked brutally and heartlessly by Johnny and friends who spared no mercy for him. Having no experience on a laying a finger on others, Mark was beaten up and he was near the moribund state. Injuries could be seen all over his limp body and he were also bleeding profusely at some parts.

Just as Johnny was about to land him finishing blow on Mark, Charren, the school prefect impeded him. he had seen what happened and rushed over. Charren was the archenemy of Johnny, since he was famous for upholding justice for the victims in the school. “Hey, you wanna join in the fun? I can help you be in the state he is in now,” Johnny asked Charren sarcastically, pointing at Mark. “Stop what you are doing right now or I will make sure you see the worst of me,” said Charren. Thinking that no one will be assisting Charren if they really got into a fight, Johnny walked towards Charren, using his finger to suggest to Charren to walk over to him. Having seen this kind of scenes for quite a few times, Charren maintained his calmness and looked straight at Johnny, waiting for him to move over.

By now, a lot had crowded around the scene and looking at what will happen next. Just when Johnny was about to punch Charren, Charren grabbed hold of him hand and twisted it to the back. Johnny screamed in pain and his friends ran up, trying to assist him to get out of Charren’s grip. A few ran off to get the help of the teachers while others looked on as to what will happen next. Being well versed I martial arts, all those who prey on the innocent feared Charren. Johnny’s friends dared not get near Charren, afraid that his blow might lend them in the hospital for a week or two. Even before Johnny’s friends had the chance to take revenge on Charren for what he had done to their leader, a group of teachers rushed to the scene and had Johnny and friends under control. Mark was sent to the hospital right away and his parents informed.

From that day on, Mark was determined to take care of himself as well as protecting himself from attacks from others. He was also revere of Charren’s courage and bravery and pledges to do the same and also to uphold justice if he sees anybody in trouble fro that day on.
