The scorching sun at noon beat through the windows casting its intense heat everywhere. It was recess time and I was thirsty. I headed for the canteen to cool down and catch my breath.

     Just as I was walking along the corridor of the classrooms, my ears caught the sounds of subdued laughter. My curiosity was immediately aroused and I was drawn towards the source of the muffled sounds. No one was supposed to be in the classroom during recess. Then, I caught sight of some movements. I was astonished and stood there in disbelief.

I was angry. Despite being alone, I decided to confront them. “Hey, what are you doing? It is a crime to vandalize,” I said. 
 
            They looked at me. “Back off!  We are bigger than you!” the boys snapped in my face. I was angry. Even after I threatened to report them to the Discipline Master, they continued to ignore me.

With their fists clenched, they hit my stomach. At that instant, a voice boomed, "Stop what you are doing!". To my relief, it was the discipline master! He had heard the commotion and had come to investigate. I was thankful and immediately reported to him what the boys had done.]]> 2018-07-27 01:30:14 UTC https://padlet.com/fung_wei_yan_jessica/xcztqujx6mdl/wish/271249069 Group 4 (original - do NOT edit) fung_wei_yan_jessica https://padlet.com/fung_wei_yan_jessica/xcztqujx6mdl/wish/271249070 Beads of perspiration were dripping down the boys’ foreheads. They knew that they had been caught red-handed. The two boys were punished by the Principal. I was sent to the General Office for medical treatment. 
 
            I was also praised for standing up to them. All the pain that I suffered disappeared when I got the pat on my shoulder by the Principal.

Tom shivered. He refused to give in to the bully’s demands and stood his ground. Red with fury, David grabbed the collar of Tom’s shirt tightly and pushed him against the wall. “Arrgh!” The pain was so excruciating that Tom could feel his backbone crackling loudly against the wall. In no time, Tom’s face turned as pale as snow and he cried pitifully. “Don’t you dare cry!” David shouted angrily. Then, he lobbed a heavy punch on Tom’s nose. Blood oozed out of the nostrils but David just snickered. Poor Tom crouched against the wall, begging David to stop. With his phone, David took a photo of the cowering victim and threatened Tom to post the photo on social media to humiliate him. Fearful of David’s threat, Tom reluctantly took out his wallet from his pocket and meekly gave it to him.]]> 2018-07-27 07:24:21 UTC https://padlet.com/fung_wei_yan_jessica/xcztqujx6mdl/wish/271272222 Group 6 (original - do NOT edit) fung_wei_yan_jessica https://padlet.com/fung_wei_yan_jessica/xcztqujx6mdl/wish/271272534 I watched in horror as thoughts ran through my mind.

With a loud trembling voice, I shouted at David, “Stop!…..stop your bullying!

The strong and tall discipline master, arms crossed in front of his chest, stared down at the bully with his eyes blazing with fury. David froze as a cold feeling of impending doom spread throughout his entire body.
  Mr Lin stormed over and dragged the bully to his office for disciplinary action. News of what I had done to the bully spread like wildfire and the next day, students I did not even know came up to congratulate me on my bravery. I had helped them to get rid of a menace. I was jubilant that justice had prevailed.
