"The Three Bullies"
by

Rachel Green skipped across pond. She was happy, for they had came to this park and Rachel loved everything. Rachel was only ten, but she skipped away from her sister Talia, who was seventeen.

Rachel was always teased. Maybe it was because she was short, maybe because she was shy, or maybe because she had braces, glasses, and her arm in a cast. She had broke her left arm playing at the playground. Rachel really was a nice and friendly girl, but she was a litte odd. When she walked, she skipped. Her voice sounded like Donald Duck's, and plus, she believed in ghosts.

Rachel had short, puffy, dark brown hair, and tanned skin. Her freckles spread across her nose, and her lips were dark red. Rachel looked at herself from the reflection of the pond. "I never would be like the other kids," Rachel sighed." I never would be like them, because they were all different and--" Rachel stopped short. Her heart completely stopped. From the pond's reflection, Rachel saw the bully Wallance behind her.

Wallance caught sight of Rachel, bent over to the clear pond water.

"Hey! Is this Miss Funny here!" Wallance snickered.

"Stop it, Wallance," Rachel said softly. "I hate it."

"Of course you hate it! I love it!"

Wallance snarled at her. He turned back to his friends, Davy and Charly, "Miss Ray-Ray!" Davy gasped. "Hey, why are you here?! Get out of here! You don't belong here!" Rachel shook, but she didn't bulge. "Go!" Charly ordered. Rachel hugged her knees tightly. "GO!" The three bullies screamed in her ear. Rachel didn't move. She was still frozen in place.

"Hey, Miss Ray-Ray, Go on!" Wallance shouted. "Go on! I want you to--" He didn't say his next words.

Rachel looked up in surprise. Her sister, Talia, was standed in front of the three bullies, hands on hips.

"What did you do to Rachel?" Talia asked the three bullies, her voice cold and firm.

"We--uh, we--" Davy sputtered.

"We--uh--" Wallance sputtered.

"We were playing with her--uh--she--"

Talia frowned. "I don't think so," she said, directing her cold voice to Wallance.

"But-- Wallance sputtered.

"No," said Talia, "You bullied Rachel. You hurt her! You teased her. You told her to leave."

"Uh-uh!" They lied. "We didn't--honest!"

"Yes, you did." Talia stared at them, slient. "You are very rude now. You are to never bother my sister again! Or I will fix you!"

She pushed them from the pond, and pulled up poor Rachel to her feet. "Rachel, don't listen to them. They are jerks." "Thanks a lot, sis,"

The two sisters walked happily together.
