A planned mistake.

A lesson.

"So what are telling me is that he won't be punished?",I banged my palm slightly out of frustration on the table,making the coffee cup move. Mr.Range looked concerned and honestly,a bit intimidated.

"I did not state that,Ms.Mill." He adjusted his glasses and took over an authoritative posture.

"I will be forced to take the matter to the higher authorities,Mr.Range,if that guy is left off without even a warning it quiet shows your control over the organization."

"Look,Dusk.We can't do that. I can surely punish him with detention but expulsion over such a petty matter is a bit far-fetched.",he said in a hushed tone as if convincing a child about broken toy.

"Bullying is a petty issue? since when? the paper which is so proudly attached to the notice board states something else!",I was getting frustrated at this point and he could very well see it.

This was not the first time I had been here reporting this issue of bullying to the discipline supervisor,Mr. Melton Range. He knew this was a real issue but was not acting upon it simply because the perpetrator was his own son. Being the discipline supervisor,it was quite a shame that he was unable to control his own son,who was indeed the school's bully. I was his brand new target and I would not entertain that at any cost. This was the first time in anyone had picked on me and it would be the last time,I had determined.

I looked over at Melton and he was surely weighing something,after a brief moment he finally gave in ,

"bring him to me,I'll decide what to do"

I quickly lunged my bag over shoulder and rushed to the usual hangout spot of Altan Range and his group of similar dimwits who hang out there and leave no opportunity to bully an innocent student.

I reached there to a similar scene playing out,an innocent guy being bullied by Altan and his friends.

"Leave him alone!",I yelled from a distance but long enough for them to hear.

Altan spotted me and soon his expression were of anger; it had no effect on me. There was no way that I was afraid of a coward bully who picks on people.

"Mr.Range has called for you."

The anger had suddenly transformed into a nothing but a vindictive smirk,I could hear his friends laughing in the back as if mocking my threat.

He had numerous trip made to the office before and this was nothing new.

I turned and made my way towards the office and his footsteps indicated that he was following at a distance.
