A Great piece to share....by Xing Yue

“Ring!” It was time for recess! My class rushed down the stairs and ran to the canteen. When I was eating my bowl of noodles, I saw the big bully who had always bullied me whenever I bumped into him. His name was Matt. He had always horsed around in school. When he was bored, he would stand furtively beside the stairs awaiting any unsuspecting victim. Everyone in school, including some teachers, was afraid of him. In fact, I am feeling goosebumps all over as I recalled an incident one year ago…

That year, I was in primary two and Matt was in primary five. Once he actually gave me a call and challenged me to a fight. When I hung up the phone, I stood rooted to the ground not knowing what to do next. After that, I wolfed down my food and thought hard how to teach him a lesson for bullying so many of us. I felt an albatross around my neck and was all thumbs when I tried to call my mother who was at work. I asked my mother for advice but she did not offer any as she was busy.

When I met Matt the following day, I felt a shiver down my spine. I decided to chicken out from the brawl. I decided that it was better for me to use my wits to teach him a lesson instead. I fished out my phone to call Matt’s mother after searching the phonebook for hours. Of course, his mother gave Matt a good spanking. Everyone in school was elated and those who had been bullied by him before were on cloud nine. For me, I was over the moon as I felt like a hero for that day. My father and mother crowed about me in front of everybody. I hope the big bully, Matt, had learned his lesson.
