new friends

"Mary looked at Jason (a normal bully) he looks at her and smirks" Jason: What? little bunny can't talk?! Hah- "A loud noise, Mary put her hands on the table and left, everyone inclass laughed except you." Luiza(another bully): BAHAHAHA! I BET SHE WENT TO THE RESTROOM TO CRY BUAH! "You felt weird and sad that they said she was crying and no one cared about her... you went to the restroom and found her... with earbuds while reading? Huh weird, what will you do now?"

"Mary's eyes flash with anger as she watches the bullies grab your crutch and play with it. She sees how scared and vulnerable you are, and she doesn't want to see them make you feel even worse. Without missing a beat, she gets up from her seat and approaches them."

Mary: Hey, why don't you leave her alone? Can't you see she's just trying to read her book?

"Bully 1 looks at Mary with a sneer."

Bully 1: And? What's it to ya?

Mary: It's just not cool to bully people, that's all. Why don't you go back to your seat and leave her alone?

"Bully 2 laughs and shoves Mary."

Bully 2: You think you can tell us what to do? We run this school.

Mary: Maybe so, but

"Mary saw your fear and concern for her, and she was touched by your kindness and bravery. She realized that you were someone who had been hurt before, but you still managed to care about others. She couldn't help but feel protective of you."

Mary: It's okay, I can handle them. You don't have to be afraid.

"Mary turns back to the bullies."

Mary: Just leave her alone, okay? There's no need to cause trouble.

"Bully 1 sneers at Mary."

Bully 1: And what are you gonna do about it?

"Without saying a word, Mary reaches into her backpack and pulls out a gun, pointing it at the bullies."

Mary: I suggest you leave now, while you still can.

*The bullies look at each other with fear before nodding and quickly leaving the classroom.

"Mary sees your fear and quickly hides the gun back in her backpack. She approaches you slowly, trying not to startle you."

Mary: I'm sorry if I scared you. They just needed to know that they couldn't bully you any longer.

"She reaches out a hand towards you, but hesitates, unsure if you want to be touched."

Mary: Are you okay? Can I help you with anything?

"Mary observes you for a moment, seeing how you tried to hide your injuries. She wants to help you, but she doesn't know how. Without saying anything, Mary reaches into her backpack again and pulls out a bag of cat treats."

Mary: Do you like cats?

"I open my backpack, revealing a cat that was inside it. She takes out the cat and places it in your lap before offering you the bag of treats."

Mary: Her name is Whiskers. You can play with her and give her some treats if you want. It might make you feel better.

"Mary smiled softly as you stroke Whiskers, noticing the cat's calming effect on you. She looks at your visible injuries and feels a pang of sadness. She wants to help you, but she doesn't know how."

Mary: I'm sorry if I scared you earlier. I just wanted to help.

"She reaches out a hand, gently grasping your arm and pulling up your sleeve a bit, revealing the burn marks."

Mary: Did someone hurt you? Do you want to talk about it?

"Mary becomes angry at the thought of your parents hurting you. She grips your arm tightly, her eyes narrowed in anger."

Mary: They have no right to treat you like that. If you ever need somewhere safe to stay, my place is always open to you. You can escape from them and heal. And if you want, Whiskers can come too. I won't let anyone hurt you again.

"Mary nods, a small smile on her face."

Mary: Yes, I will. You don't deserve to be treated like that.

"She reaches out and gently strokes your hair, trying to offer some comfort."

Mary: You can stay with me for as long as you need to. And if you ever need anything, just tell me. We'll get through this together, okay?

*Mary notices your positive reaction to her gentle touch, and continues to stroke your hair soothingly. She feels a sense of warmth in her heart, knowing that she's helping someone in need. *

Mary: That's great to hear. We'll make sure you're safe and taken care of. Now, let's get out of here and start a new chapter in your life.

"She stands up and offers you a hand, thinking about the new future you can have with her."

"Mary shakes her head, squeezing your hand gently to offer reassurance."

Mary: No, you don't. You deserve better than that kind of treatment. You deserve a safe and loving home. And I'll make sure you have that.

"She leads you out of the classroom and towards the school's exit, looking forward to the journey ahead."

"Mary notices your trust in her and feels a sense of responsibility towards you. She leads you outside, then helps you into her car. She drives you to her cozy apartment, which is filled with cat-themed decorations and furniture. She helps you into the living room, where Whiskers sits comfortably on top of a cushion."

Mary: Here we are. This is your new home. You can have the guest room. It's just down the hall from my room. Rest up and heal, okay? I'll make you some food.

"She gently ruffles your hair, a small smile on her face."

Mary: You're safe here.

"Mary smiles at your observation, knowing that her apartment is not actually that grand. She laughs softly and playfully rolls her eyes."

Mary: I'm not that rich. But I do like to decorate my home with a lot of cat-themed items. It's my favorite animal, after all.

"She gestures towards Whiskers, who meows in agreement."

Mary: Speaking of which, do you want to say hi to him? He's really friendly.

"She points at Whiskers, who paws at the air as if to say hello."

"Whiskers purrs contentedly as you pet him, his eyes closing in pleasure. Mary watches with a fond smile."

Mary: He loves attention. I'm sure he'll be happy to have a new friend here.

"She heads into the kitchen, then starts cooking up some soup for you. You can hear the sizzling and bubbling sounds of the pot, along with some soft music playing from the living room."

Mary: How are you feeling now, by the way? Any pain?

"Mary nods understandingly, seeing the innocence of your small frame and curly hair that made you look cute to her. She comes out of the kitchen with a bowl of hot soup, then hands it to you gently."

Mary: Here you go. It's some chicken noodle soup. It'll help you feel better.

"She takes a seat next to you, then watches as you eat the soup slowly. The warmth from the soup spreads throughout your body, and you begin to feel comforted by Mary's presence."

Mary: If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask me. I'm here to help you.

"Mary chuckles softly, happy to see you enjoying the soup. It's always a good sign when her cooking is well received. She watches as you eat, feeling relieved that you're in a safer environment now."

Mary: I'm glad you like it. I think food can sometimes be a comfort, especially when you're not feeling well.

"She reaches over and ruffles your hair gently, then takes a sip of her own soup."

Mary: So, what do you like to do for fun? Do you play any sports or do any hobbies?

"Mary nods sympathetically as she listens to your story, feeling sad about your past. She removes her hand from your hair and looks at you with a warm smile."

Mary: Well, you can draw here too if you want. I have some pencils and a sketchpad in my room, you can use it whenever you feel like drawing.

"She stands up and walks towards her bedroom. You notice that she had left her earbuds behind on the table, still plugged into her phone. As she turns back to face you, she points towards the table so that you don't accidentally knock them over."

Mary: Oh, and please be careful with my earbuds. They're a bit fragile.

"With those words, she grins playfully, then disappears into her room to retrieve the sketchpad and pencils for you."
