Ruby And The Bullying Wolves
Henderson, Nevada
May 11, 2010
"Sorry, I'm sorry! I'm really sorry."
The girl sobbed, trying to cover her face which was wet with tears. She could hear the laughter of the people watching her suffering.
In front of her, four boys stood looking at her with different expressions. The blonde haired boy with blue eyes seemed to act as the leader as he seemed to be the one enjoying what they had done the most. Meanwhile, the one with dark brown hair and tan skin just showed a flat expression as if he didn't care enough, but he also didn't really enjoy it.
Meanwhile, his two other friends showed faces as if they were starting to feel uncomfortable with what they were doing.
"Henry, I think that's enough." Damian said. He was starting to feel that they had gone too far. What if the accident that happened to several students at this school had nothing to do with this new student?
"Damian is right, I think we've gone too far. It's best to stop, I don't like the sight of it!"
"What's wrong with you two? You both know that her mom is a witch. I want to see, what will happen if we disturb her? If the rumors are true, maybe she will ask her mom to use a voodoo doll and kill us."
"So what do you want if that happens? You want to be cursed with a voodoo doll too?"
"Damian, you should ask your parents to move immediately! I heard that many of her neighbors at her old house died mysteriously after arguing with her mom who was a witch."
"You stupid!" Aiden said as he walked away with a straight face.
"Aiden, where are you going? We're not finished yet?" Henry exclaimed, who was still very enthusiastic about his plan to prove that the strange accident that happened to several students at their school was caused by the power of black magic belonging to Ruby, the new student who was the daughter of a witch.
Aiden stopped walking and turned to look at the new student named Ruby who was still sobbing while sitting in the corner of the gym wall.
He took a handkerchief from his trouser pocket and threw it at Ruby. Ruby, who was shocked, immediately looked at Aiden, who looked at her without expression.
"Stop crying! I really hate seeing tears!" He said as he walked away.
"Tch, what is he doing? Want to act cool, huh?"
"Henry, that's enough!"
"Shut up! I won't stop until I can prove that the accident that happened to Wendy in ballet class was the work of this witch. Hey you, don't think I'll stop! You'd better just admit that you're the culprit!"
"No! I don't know anything. I didn't do anything at all. I didn't-"
"Don't lie...!" Henry, who was increasingly emotional, immediately kicked Ruby, who was trying to protect her face from Henry's brutal kick.
"Henry, stop it...!" Damian and Jacob try to stop him. Meanwhile, the other students who were originally watching while giggling began to feel sorry for her. This girl named Ruby has only moved to this school for four months, but she immediately becomes the target of mischief by Henry and his three friends.
"If anything happens to Wendy, I won't spare you!" Henry walked away with anger consuming his soul. No one dared to stop him because they knew that the grandson of the owner of the foundation and the son of one of the richest people in the world would not be able to be stopped.
"I really didn't do anything-" Ruby sobbed while covering her hurt face. Damian and Jacob, who initially joined Henry to bully him, began to feel guilty. They were too influenced by Henry's words and now they regret it.
Jacob stepped over to her and squatted down while taking Aiden's handkerchief which was lying on Ruby's lap.
"Don't cry anymore! We're sorry for going too far." He said while wiping Ruby's tears.
Ruby was lost in thought, she looked at Jacob's face who was looking at her gently. She was stunned, she had never had friends in her life because people would say that she would only bring bad luck and when she was treated well like this, she felt unworthy.
"Is it okay like this?" She said in a trembling voice. She found it very difficult to express her feelings.
"Hmm? You said something?" Jacob asked. He hoped that this girl would raise her face which was constantly lowered as if embarrassed if other people saw her face.
"Aren't you afraid to touch me?"
"Why are you scared?"
"B-because I-"
Jacob touched her chin and asked her to lift her face so he could see her. Jacob was amazed, his eyes lit up after realizing that the girl in front of him was very beautiful.
"You are so beautiful,"
"Jake, are you complimenting her?" Damian said. He was sure that Jacob had just complimented a girl and that was really unusual.
"She's very beautiful, isn't she, Damian? She should be more confident."
Ruby's face turned red, she was sure Jacob had just complimented her. By calling her 'so beautiful' she was nervous, her heart was beating fast. She was too restless to even breathe.
Damian knelt down and looked at her with calm eyes. Ruby couldn't help but look down again. Feelings of inferiority make her feel like she doesn't deserve to be looked at by other people, especially the two boys who are very popular at her new school.
"Yes, she is so beautiful."
