The Helplessness
Timmy felt utterly helpless as the bullies continued their taunts. “What’s wrong? Gonna cry, geek?” Jake mocked, leaning in closer. Timmy fought back tears, refusing to give them the satisfaction. He glanced around, hoping someone would intervene, but the other patrons avoided eye contact, unwilling to get involved.
He felt more alone than ever, trapped by the relentless bullying. When was it ever going to end? Timmy remembered Mrs. Reeves words and he tried standing up for himself but he just couldn’t. He didn’t know what more the bullies were capable of.
