5) DISAPPOINTMENT

It was three o'clock in the afternoon. I woke up and I realised that I was running late for my lessons in school. I quickly dressed up and rushed to school. When I reached school, history lesson has already started. I was punished by my history teacher for being late for class. He sent me out of the class and told me to copy the whole textbook. I was very upset of this punishment as I was only late for a minute. My classmates were laughing at me for being punished. I was often bullied by my classmates. For the one hour lesson, I was busy copying the history textbook. Soon the history lesson ended, I handed up my work and went for my recess.

I was walking to the canteen. I was walking through the school’s garden. My school was famous of its garden because it was beautifully decorated with plants and it also had a very large pond with fishes living in it. I quickly walked through. Suddenly, I felt a force from the back, I lost my balance and fell into the pond. I was struggling to stand up as the pond was very deep. I could see fishes and tadpoles swimming beside me. I finally stood up, I saw hundred pairs of eyes looking at me. Some were laughing at me and some was worried about me. I was very angry, I was suspecting that the person that pushed me could be still in the crowd. I looked around and I saw the bullies from my class. I was sure that it was them that pushed me into the pond as they were laughing extremely loudly. I went to the toilet to get myself washed and dried.

After that I went to the general office to make a complaint of the bully incident, I told the principal what happened to me and he promised that he would punish the bullies. But the principal did not seem to care about the bully case. He told me that he was still investigating the case. But weeks after weeks, I did not see anybody getting punished and I was not informed of any updates of the case. I went to ask the principal to see what he had done. To my disappointment, he was not able to find out who were the students that pushed me into the pond. I was very disappointed and upset about the incident. Other students were still laughing at me for falling into the pond.
