The students just sat comfortably on their seats as delicious meals were being kept in front of them. And you know what? The nice aroma of the meals didn’t waste time flowing into their nostrils the moment they were kept in front of them.
Ryan and Dylan patiently waited for the cooks serving to get to their table. And one of the cooks serving finally reached their table and dropped a food each in front of Ryan and Dylan.
A particular student sitting around the same table as them also got served a plate of food. It didn’t take long for Ryan and Dylan to begin digging in after they got served.
As they were eating, Ryan was thinking about the fact that he couldn’t afford to fuck up after they were done eating and were heading toward their classroom together.
Yes, he must report everything to Dylan while they’d be heading toward their classroom together. That would be another perfect chance to do so.
He can’t afford to fuck up for the second time…
Ryan glanced at Dylan a few times while they were eating, and Dylan didn’t notice at all because he was focused on his food. If not that the cafeteria was filled with students, Ryan would have reported everything to Dylan right now.
There’s no way he would report everything to Dylan right now and students wouldn’t hear, which would result in side-talks, awkward stares, and so on.
It would be way worse than how it would be in his classroom when such a thing happens.
Time passed, and students were emptying their plates and walking out of the cafeteria by now. Ryan watched as the four boys were staring at him with smirks on their faces while walking out of the cafeteria after they were done eating.
Ryan and Dylan were done eating by now, and both of them didn’t waste time standing up from the chairs they were sitting on and began walking out of the cafeteria.
They’d finished walking out of the cafeteria by now, and upon arriving outside, Ryan knew he would definitely report everything to Dylan…he could feel it.
They were walking on the school compound heading toward their classroom when Ryan said to Dylan,
“Dylan, there’s a particular discussion I’d like to have with you”.
Dylan glanced at him with a curious expression on his face the moment he said that, then his voice resounded,
“What do you want to discuss with me?”.
Ryan sighed a little before voicing out once again, “You’d be surprised to hear this”.
Dylan became more curious after hearing that, and it was evident in his facial expression. He couldn’t wait to hear whatever Ryan wanted to say to him.
“Those bullies are still causing distress to my life. Those four boys haven’t stopped, they’re still bullying me”.
Dylan’s eyes widened the moment he heard that, he was fucking surprised just as Ryan expected. After keeping mute for a few seconds, he managed to voice out once again,
“You can’t be serious”.
“I’m fucking serious”. Ryan stated with a serious facial expression.
..With that serious expression on his face, Dylan knew he couldn’t be pulling his leg with what he just said now.
“There are still bullying you? Like, the real bullying”. Dylan voiced out once again with his eyes still widened and a serious expression still plastered on his face.
“Yes, the real bullying”. Ryan stated.
“But how come? How come I haven’t witnessed it all this time? How come I haven’t seen them bullying you since that incident happened where I almost reported them to the teachers?”. Dylan uttered again with a confused facial expression.
Yes, this fact was making him confused. Ryan was claiming that they were still bullying him, but he’d never witnessed it since that time…
“This is because I always come across them when heading home. They always wait for me at certain spots, then get a hold of me, take me somewhere quiet, and bully me there. This is how they’d been doing it all this while, that’s why you haven’t been witnessing it,
This was something they must have taken their time to plan. They must have trailed us without our knowledge, discover the roads that lead to our homes, discover the fact that you do corner a certain intersection which would lead you to your home, then it would remain only me on the road,
Discovering this must have been a good thing for them because it would give them the chance to be bullying me without your knowledge. They’d never tried bullying me at school after that incident, but they’d been making use of this tactic to be bullying me for weeks now,
Some parts of my body are even aching right now due to their bullying”. Ryan explained.
An angry expression appeared on Dylan’s face the moment Ryan was done explaining. The fact that those boys didn’t keep to his instruction after sparing them that particular day was making him angry.
They promised him…but didn’t keep to it. He wasn’t going to spare them this time.
They’d been bullying Ryan for weeks now without his knowledge, they’d be so smart when it comes to things like this. I mean, look at the tactic they’d been making use of to cause distress to Ryan’s life.
“Why are you just telling me this now? According to your statement, they’d been bullying you for weeks now without my knowledge. Why are you just informing me about it?”. Dylan inquired of Ryan with his gaze focused on him.
“That’s because I’ve been contemplating whether to report it to you, or to let it go. Seeing that they don’t plan on stopping, and the bullying was intensifying, I decided to inform you about it”. Ryan responded.
With that angry expression still plastered on his face, Dylan uttered,
“So they have the guts to go against what they promised me after sparing them that day? Since they’re still bullying you, then there’s a high chance they’re still bullying other students,
They’ve just been doing everything secretly, so smart of them. Did they even inform other bullies to stop causing distress to students’ lives just as I instructed?
Even if they did, the other bullies would still be doing as they’d been doing before since the people that informed them to stop were still doing as they like. All of them were simply doing their things in secret”.
This fact was just adding to Dylan’s anger…they’d been playing smart all this while. Well, their smartness would come to an end soon.
“I’m going to report them to the teachers and make sure their vile deed comes to an end, there’s no holding back this time. But before I do that, I need to confirm something first”. Dylan said to Ryan with his gaze focused on him.
“What do you need to confirm?”. Ryan inquired.
“I need to confirm if they’re still bullying other students, though there’s a high chance they’re still doing such since they are still bullying you,
And I also need to confirm if the other bullies in this school are still bullying other students, though there’s a high chance they’re still doing such. I just want to be a hundred percent sure,
The moment I confirm all these, I’m going to report them to the teachers and make sure they get punished. Their vile deeds must come to an end”.
Ryan only nodded his head to Dylan’s utterance as the both of them were still heading toward their classroom. They’d reached and entered their classroom by now.
******
“I’d like to see it with my own eyes, I’d like to witness it”. Dylan said to Ryan as they were heading home from school.
It hadn’t been that long since it got to closing hour, and students were heading home as usual. A few minutes had passed since Ryan and Dylan walked out of the school compound heading home.
“You’d like to witness it?”. Ryan uttered with his gaze focused on Dylan.
“Yes, I’d like to witness it. I want to see those bullies causing distress to your life. I want to witness everything you said, you know, waiting for you at a particular spot, taking you somewhere quiet where they could bully you, and so on,
I want to see everything with my own eyes. I want to confirm what you said”.
Ryan was just glancing at Dylan after he was done making that statement, a single word didn’t flow out of his mouth. But something was running through his mind.
And it didn’t take long for Dylan to discern what was running through Ryan’s mind, so he voiced out,
“I know what you’re thinking. I’m not trying to say you’re lying with what you told me, I know you’re telling the truth. But I just want to confirm it”.
..All Ryan could do was to nod his head to Dylan’s statement after he was done talking.
