The hallway at Butler County Middle School was empty because thebell to be in class had just rung, but the one person Jessie didn’twant to see, especially after seeing the nurse over another badheadache, was her tormenter Abby, and the one reason she didn’twant to go to school every day. But there was no avoiding her. Abbywalked up to Jessie, and said “No one likes you. Go rot in a ditch.”Jessie ran off in the hallway and sat down and started to cry.
Jessie went home that day after school,and when she walked in, her mom waswaiting for her. Jessie’s mom saw thatshe’d been crying. Jessie’s mom said“What’s wrong honey?” Jessie ran to herroom crying her eyes out. When Jessie gotin her room, she went to her bed. Shethought maybe Abby was right, “Maybe Ishould go rot in a ditch.” Jessie went tosleep that night not wanting to go toschool anymore.
Jessie went to school the next day because her momalways made her go, but first thing, Abby walked up.Abby said “Why are you wearing that? You look sostupid.” Then, Jessie started walking away but Abby hit herin the back. A girl saw Abby hitting Jessie and walked upto her and said “Stop! It’s not nice to bully people! You arebeing mean really mean!”
Concerned, Kallie walked to Jessie and asked “Hey, are you okay?” Then,Kallie helped her up. “I’m fine thanks anyways.” replied Jessie. Kallie said, “Ifyou ever need anything, I’m here for you.” Jessie then said “Thanks, Kallie!”Then they walked together to lunch.
The next day when Jessie got toschool Abby was sitting therewaiting for her, as usual. Jessie triednot to get near her, but Abbyfollowed her. “What are youwearing? No one wears that anymore. My grandma dresses betterthan you do,” Abby said. Jessie ranaway crying again.
Later that day Jessie and Kallie werewalking down the hallway. When theywalked around a corner theyaccidently ran into Abby. “Watch out.Gosh!” “I’m sorry, Abby. I didn’t meanto run into you.” “Well, next time don’tdo it!” Then Kallie and Jessie walkedaway.
About an hour later….
Abby went to the principal and said, “Jessie and Kalliepushed me down in the hallway.”
“I will talk to them, Abby. Thanks for telling me.”
After that he called Jessie and Kallie over the intercom totalk to him about it.
When Jessie and Kallie, went to Mr. Tuck he said, “Ladies, I’ve heardthat you pushed Abby down in the hallway.”
“No, I promise that we never did Mr. Tuck” Kallie says.
“Okay that’s just what she came and told me today” Mr. Tuck tellsthem.
“Okay..” When they got out of his office, they walked up to Abby.
“Why did you tell Mr. Tuck that we pushed you down the hallway?”
“Because I wanted to get you in trouble.”
“We have never done anything to you,why are you always mean to use?”Kallie asked. “Because it is so much funto get both of you in trouble and to bemean to both of you.” Abby said. “Wellwe should try to be friends!” Jessie said.“ Why would I want to be one of yourfriends?” Jessie says, “ I think all three ofus should be friends. Or at least try notto be mean to us anymore.” “ I can trynot to be mean to both of you” Abbysaid.
A week goes by and Abby hasn’t been mean to Jessieor Kallie. Abby decides to go talk to Jessie, Jessie sawher coming and thought that Abby was going to bemean to her again. But when Abby got there she didn’tpush her or anything. Instead she just wanted to talk toJessie. “Hey I have been thinking of what you and Kalliesaid and I think that all three of us can be friends now”Abby said. “Okay I think that would be great if we wereall friends” Jessie said. Abby went to go talk to Kallie tosee if them two could be friends. Kallie said “Yes wecan if you will be friends with Jessie to.” “ Jessie and mehave made up already” Abby said. Jessie comeswalking down the hallway and asked them if we wereall friends now. Abby ansered “yes we are all friendsnow.”
