As everyone had gone, a student was walking along the hallway, not noticing that some guys were behind him. When he saw them, he asked himself "Who are they?" When he turned around because he thought that something fell, he saw the five boys standing in front of him.

20. "I am sorry for leaving you earlier, I was shocked that I knew that I had to call someone to get all of them so that they won't bully you again," the girl explained.

"I was afraid, but I need to do something to stop what they are always doing," the girl said.
