"Ring…!" the school dismissal bell sounded alarmingly as if there was a fire in school. Well, school was over for the day. I stuffed all my textbooks into my bag hurriedly. I could hardly wait to get home to play my new computer game! Just then, my form teacher yelled to me across the classroom, "Ka Chih, meet me at the staffroom five minutes later. I need you to run an errand for me!"
Now I had to wait even longer to get home. I sighed. I dragged myself to the staffroom. As I approached, I heard a sobbing sound. Oh! It was just someone crying away at a corner. But wait! Isn't that John, my best friend?
I abandoned my attempt to enter the locked staffroom door and rushed towards John to check it out. Initially, he just asked me to go away and turned his head away from me. However, as a best friend, I was not going to relent and leave him alone in dire straits. In the end, John sensed my sincerity and poured out his sorrows to me.
John was bullied and the bullies took away his wallet containing his identification card and fifty dollars! "What did you bring so much money to school for?" I asked John in surprise. He said that he was forced by the bullies to steal the money from his parents and pass it to them. "Do you know the bullies’ names?" I asked in concern. John shook his head and broke into tears again.
I suggested informing a teacher but John said that the bullies threatened him not to do so. I persisted and he had no choice but to give in. We entered the staffroom and instantly bumped into my form teacher, Mr Lim. "Where were you in the last fifteen minutes?" he boomed. "This is an emergency, Mr Lim!" I said and explained to him what had happened to John. "There shall be no bullies in this school," Mr Lim bellowed, "do not worry, John, I shall deal with these people when I find them!" For the first time that day, I saw a smile on John’s face.
The next day, during assembly, Mr Lim called the bullies up, although it was not known who they were. "If you do not own up now, a more severe punishment will be carried out if you are caught!" Mr Lim shouted. Three boys slowly stood up and walked towards the stage.
The bullies were punished accordingly and John’s wallet was returned. John said to me, "Thanks for all your help. You are truly my best friend!"
