Diary Entry-Perspective from Bystander

It was 6am in the morning and my alarm was going wild. Birds were singing outside the splintered window joyfully as the sky darkened. After I finished my breakfast and got dressed, I swung the bag onto my left shoulder gradually and stepped out of the house. I liked the piece and quiet in the early morning as usual but today something was different, it was too quiet and my instinct told me that something bad might take place. Anyhow I ignored my senses and continued down road, the journey to school is about 6 blocks and as always nothing interesting happened on the way until I reached Walnut Street.

From a dark corner at a close range, I saw Jenny and Lam walking slowly toward me, Jenny is alright but when I look at Lim’s eyes it was as if she was trying to make my brain explode with her evil glare. She was really mad at me these days because I sort of criticized her boyfriend, Pal too much. With no choices left to choose I promptly turned away and act like nothing happen and kept on following the path to school. I walked about another block when I steadily glanced over my right shoulder and JESUS CHRIST! She was still staring aggressively at me. I was left with no choice but sprint for my life away from that ‘Satan evil look’. I am way too young to die, I don’t even have a car yet!

The running stopped when I heard a familiar voice screamed and saw a group of students assembled across the street. I ran over and took a look. It was Charlie and Greg, they were beating up and poor defenseless kid. From another perspective where there were less bystander grounding the fight, unfortunately Pal face came to the light as the two bullies pounding on him repeatedly…

It was rather irritating from what I was seeing but how could I blame them when I was just looking and taking pictures as they were? If I left then, I’ll arrive at school early and force to meet the devils whose ran the school and that even worse than got beat like Pal, if I attempted to help them which I won’t then I’ll probably end up like him or even worse. Usually my consciences would gave advises for situation like this but this time they don’t , after long years of training they decided to take a step back for once and assumed I would make the right decision.

So I just stood there and watch…
