The Bullied 25 Years Later
The Reason
The birds chirp and the sun nearly setting, a silhouette of what looks like a young boy appears on the top of the school building.
As the boy goes over the railings, he had a thought.
Randy
Wow, it's so peaceful here when nobody's around.
Randy
Kind of ironic really that I pick this time to do it...
Randy
I can see my house over there! Wonder what mom's doing right now...
The boy starts standing on one foot and looks down, his heart raising, as his knees and breathe get heavier, his arms and legs getting weaker and weaker.
The school bell suddenly rings throughout the campus.
Down below Randy, the students happily ran out of their classrooms.
Keith
Finally! Mr. Harthorns classes are so boooring.
John
He's a really bad teacher isn't he? HAHAHA
John
Wait, isn't that her?
Jaz
Ughh, What do you even find in a girl like that. She's probably doing weird stuff when she's alone. HAHAHA
John
Your just jealous that Keith likes her. HAHA
Keith
I'm going to try asking her out again, it's definitely gonna work this time.
Jaz
Wait Keith, don't go for her I'm right here-
Keith
Heyy, Iris wanna go with out with me?
Iris
I told you already, I'm not interested in people like you!
Iris
Besides, Im waiting for someone...
Keith
What do you mean people like me?? just because I smoke and "borrow" money from others doesn't-
Keith
Wait... Waiting for someone? Who are you waiting for? Is it that loser? I'm telling you, let him go and be with me!
Iris slaps Keith and frees herself.
Jaz
What's wrong with her?! Is she dumb?
Jaz
Don't worry Keith, she doesn't deserve you.
Keith, being humiliated by Iris is visually irritated and angry.
Jaz
Besides, I'll always be here for you-
Keith
SHUT UP! I DON'T NEED YOU!
Keith
I'm pissed right now, John where's that little sh*t hiding?
John
I- I don't man, haven't heard anything from that guy..
Keith
You better find him! He ruined my chances with Iris!
At the top of the school where Randy was curled up near the railing.
Randy
I... I couldn't do it after all...
Randy
Wonder what the reason was that I can't do it...
Screaming and shouting could be heard from the stairs leading to the roof.
Keith
COME HERE YOU LITTLE SH*T!
Keith
YOU RUINED MY CHANCES WITH IRIS!!
Keith
What?! Don't tell me you actually feel sorry for this little shrimp?!
John looks at Randy with sorry eyes.
John
I think a teacher is coming up here!
Keith
Your lucky this time you little twerp!!
John
Im.. im sorry Randy...
Randy
If you really were sorry, you'd stop following him around. Your all the same!
Keith shouts from the distance.
Keith
JOHN, YOU COMING OR WHAT?!
John
Yeah yeah, im coming...
After that Randy sat there in silence for a few minutes until he finally push himself to stand up.
As Randy walks down the flight of stairs Iris spots him.
Iris sees Randy's beat up face and runs frantically towards him.
Iris
R- Randy.. what happend?
Iris looks at Randy with sorry eyes.
Randy
Iris, please... just go...
Iris still with sorry eyes walks away.
The sun finally sets, and the birds stop chirping.
Randy mumbles some words.
Randy
So you were the reason, Iris..
A Mothers Debt
It is very late in the night, the chirping birds have gone silent, the only thing that was occasionally heard were the sounds of vehicles passing by.
Randy is going home late because of his attempt and because of his bullies.
Randy reaches his front yard and looks around.
He slowly approached the house door and opens it quietly.
Only to find his mom with an angry look, messed up hair, and marks near her eyes as if she was crying.
Her face immediately turns into a worried state as she sees her sons condition.
Mom
What happens?! Why weren't you picking up my calls? Where we're you?!?
Randy tears up slightly but stays silent, avoiding his moms eyes at all times as if he were ashamed of what he's done.
Mom
Your not going to tell me?
Mom
Fine... Go to your room, don't go to sleep yet, we'll have to take care of those bruises.
Randy, still looking down on the floor, slowly walks himself towards his room waiting for his mother to go in to take care of his wounds.
A few hours pass by but his mom was still no where to be found.
Randy
Just what could she be doing right now?...
Randy, still ashamed of his attempt hesitantly stands up to check on his mom.
Randy heard sobbing around the corner.
Mom
*sobbing*What am I going to do..*sobbing*
Randy deserves better..*sobbing*
Randys heart sank and he began to cry as well.
Randy's mom, hearing him in the hallway realizes that he heard her.
His mom ran toward him and hugged him as hard as she could, Randy doing the same as well.
Both crying their hearts out.
Mom
*sobbing* Sorry you had to see this pathetic sight Randy, sorry for being a bad mother. *sobbing*
Randy
*sobbing* Don't say that!
Randy
You are an amazing mother, your the best! *sobbing*
They both kept crying until they both passed out on the stairs near the hallway.
As Randy sleeps on her lap, she gently taps him until he wakes up.
Mom
Randy, wake up, it's morning now.
Randy
...ughh... One more minute..
Mom
Randy, I need to cook us breakfast, come on.
Randy
Can we have scrambled eggs for breakfast today? Pleaaaase!?
Mom
*chuckles* Alright fine!
Randy
Yussss, your the best mom!
Randy
Mom, can I not go to school today?
Mom
Do you want me to go talk to them?
She says in a serious tone.
Randy
Mom, no, no one's bullying me.
Mom
Then what were those bruises all over your face?
Randy
It was because I slipped and fell on the stairs at school hehehe.
Mom
Randy, I want the truth.
Randy
No, really! I'm serious!
Mom
Alright then... Just tell me if you have anymore problems.
Phew! Thank goodness she believed that, she doesn't need to worry about that.
Randy gets a text from Iris
Iris
What's up you little shrimp, meet me at the back of the school after breakfast time or else your pretty little sh*t might just get hurt.
Keith is using Iris's phone? What? did something happen to her?
Randy finishes his breakfast hurriedly.
Mom
Slow down or you might choke!
Randy
Sorry mom, I got something to do, can I go out today?
Mom
Sure but, hey! Wait! Hold on!-
Randy
Thanks mom! I'll be back before dinner!
Randy sprinted as fast as he could towards school.
Randy meets John at the entrance.
Randy
JOHNNN, WHAT DID YOU DO TO IRIS!
Randy throws a punch and misses.
Randy keeps throwing punches and one eventually hits.
John punches Randy knocking him into the ground.
John
Hah, follow me if you don't want to get punched again.
Randy follows hesitantly.
Keith
HAHAHA WHAT NOW B*TCH!
Keith slaps Iris multiple times.
Keith
YOU LIKE SLAPPING DON'T YOU?!
Jaz
Yeah, go Keith! Teach her a lesson!!
Jaz
This is what happens when you mess with us b*tch!
Randy
IRIS! WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU?!?
Keith
WHOA look at me hero over here HAHAHAH- *punch* A.
John looks on with sorry eyes once again.
Keith
hehehehaHAHA look at this shrimp tryna be a hero! It's so hilariously pathetic!
Keith
I mean, what did you expect was gonna happen?! Now your just going to watch me violate her HAHAHAHAHA!!
John
WHOA WAIT WHAT! THIS WAS NOT THE PLAN KEITH!!
Jaz
Are you seriously siding with these losers John?!
Keith
Plan? WHO CARES ABOUT THE PLAN! ANYMORE!!
Keith
Now you've done it! C'MERE!!
John
THIS IS WRONG KEITH!!
Randy gets punched by Keith and gets knocked out.
Keith
YOU F*CKING TRAITOR!
Keith
WE NEED TO KILL HER AND RUN! GET OFF OF ME!
Keith
We're going to prison if we get caught by the police!
John
What?! You alone were trying to violate Iris! What's that got to do with me-
Keith
You're all accomplices! You helped me get Randy here, YOU'RE PART OF THIS!
John
...sh*t... but I'm not letting you kill anyone!
Keith
Alright fine! Jaz! Lend me the knife just in case!
Jaz
Here! Hurry let's go! I'm to pretty to be in prison!
The sounds of the school bell was in the air, but it wasn't alone this time, the sound of the police sirens were even louder.
Mom
RANDY? Randy! It's ok mommy's here!
Mom
Your name was Iris isn't that right?
Mom
Please watch over my son!
Mom
Those criminals won't get away with this! I'll chase after them, tell the police I went this way after they arrive ok?
Iris
Auntie please be careful!
She ran away too fast and she didn't hear what Iris said.
Randy's mom says to herself.
Mom
You've been nothing but a great son to me Randy, but I've also been nothing but a bad mother to you, I've been blind all this time, forgive me my son.
Mom
We're finally going to put stop to these bullies.
Mom
This is my payment to Randy for being a pathetic mother!!
As the sounds of the police sirens got louder and louder, the more on edge Keith and his company were.
That was when it happend...
That was when... the incident happened...
