《Rain✔️ (Wattpad version)》Taking a stand
Advertisement
After talking to Morris and Adrian, they agreed with me. We started talking to others, and we worked our way around the school. Rain wasn't at school. Colton and Lia kept her home for the day.
They stayed home to work with her, so she didn't regress and to give Luke and Cole a break.
At lunch, the three of us talked.
"Do you think it will work?" Morris asked.
"Even if others don't follow, I'm still doing it," Adrian said.
"It doesn't matter if others follow or not. This behavior has gone too far. All schools have an anti-bully program in place, but when push comes to shove, they do nothing. They allow it. Well, no more. This bullying ends today. Maybe they will hear us for once," I told them.
They both looked at me and nodded. That was the thing about Morris and Adrian. They didn't give a shit what anyone thought, especially Adrian. To him, right was right and wrong was wrong, plain and simple.
When the sixth hour hit, we all went to our classes, then waited. We looked at the clock, and then after, we all got up, one by one.
"Where are you going?" The teacher asked us.
"We're walking out," I announced as I left the classroom as more and more kids followed. If the school would do nothing, then we would. This stand was for all the kids that get bullied for being different.
I was sick of it, and so were others.
As we all walked out of the school, the principal came out. "This is unacceptable! Get back to class," he demanded.
"Nope, not until things change," I said as most of the school stood with me.
"I will call all of your parents," he yelled.
"Good, call them, then you can explain why several kids have repeatedly attacked someone with a disability. Someone that doesn't deserve this," I told him.

"Rainbow has Autism. That's not a disability," he said ignorantly.
"That's where you're wrong, dumb fuck. The law classifies Autism as a disability. But you would know this, considering Rain's enrolled in special education classes, which gives you a lot of money. Let's ignore the real issue," Adrian shouted.
He looked at us aghast.
"See, it's fine when you take the money and still fail someone that you're supposed to help. Sad if you ask me," Morris added.
"So, explain to us why we should go back into a school that doesn't give a shit how anyone's treated and can't follow their own rules. You let people like Ella, Darcy, Lyle, and others roam free to bully, harass and call names of others, but still do nothing," I said to him. Then I turned to everyone, "Fight for Rainbow! Fight for Rainbow! Fight for Rainbow!"
Everyone followed suit as they all shouted, "Fight for Rainbow." They would listen.
I played with My Little Ponies and Luke, and Cole came into the house, alerting Dad and Mom.
"Turn on the TV," Luke said as Dad flipped on the switch. On the news was the school, and most students chanted, "Fight for Rainbow."
Then they saw Antonio talking to a reporter.
"What made you do this?" She asked him.
"Because it's not right. The school is ignoring people, and it's time to put an end to it," he answered.
"Who is Rainbow?" The reporter asked him.
"Rainbow is an amazing person who opened my eyes to a beautiful world. One, I want to be a part of her world. She's beautiful, smart, funny, and amazing. And I love her," he replied as he walked away and went back to chanting.
My family sat there and watched the news. The news played the live feed of what was happening at the school.
"Damn. Why would Antonio do that?" Luke asked.

"Because he loves her," Cole said as they looked at me. "It takes people forever to see Rain for the amazing person she is. It took him two months. If that isn't loving someone, then I don't know what is," he said.
Cole might not say much, but he understood everything. That's why people listened when he spoke. He was direct and to the point.
I continued to play with my ponies in my little world, while everything was moving around me. In my world, there wasn't a negativity. There weren't people being mean. In my world, there was wonderment and amazement. It didn't mean I didn't feel things; I did. I just saw things differently than most people.
The local news showed up, and so did the cops. By this time, it turned into a full-blown protest. We were sick and tired of them doing nothing, so we took a stand.
Soon our parents arrived along with Colton and Lia. As we chanted, they walked up. Colton walked up to the principal and met with the superintendent.
"See what your children have created," the principal said.
"My children don't cause problems. They were the targets, especially Rain, who did nothing to anyone. You've done nothing, but stand by as you did for years," he told the principal.
"As of today, we relieve you of your duties, George," the superintendent said.
"You can't fire me! I have a contract!" The principal shouted.
"That you're in violation. School is to be a place of learning for everyone, not just certain students. Special privileges shouldn't exist for a few and should be for everyone. I'm appalled with the student's behavior of Rainbow Hardwick and others. I'm dismissing you," the superintendent told him.
He stormed out of there.
She turned to us. "As of now, you have a new principal, Mr. Hardwick." She announced as we all cheered and clapped.
"I'll leave you to it, Colton," she told him.
He looked at us. "It's time for changes. As of today, we will expel any student involved in bullying. All of you should be able to learn in a stress-free environment. This environment isn't it. My wife, Mrs. Hardwick, will also transfer to the high school. Now, we're dismissing school, go home," he announced to us.
We cheered even louder, and he rolled his eyes, then laughed.
As everyone left, the three of us walked over to him.
"You boys are something else," he said to us.
"Maybe changes will help," Adrian said to him.
"Changes always helps. As a teacher and a father, I could not be prouder of you three. I knew it destined all of you for great things," he smiled. We all looked at him and smiled.
Colton was our first-grade teacher and always said to take a stand when something wasn't right. It was one lesson taught by someone special.
That was the class I met Adrian and Morris. When I got pushed around for being shy, they had my back, as I have theirs.
I didn't go home. Instead, I went to see Rain. When I arrived at her house, her brothers thanked me. I told them there was no need to thank me. It's what you do when you love someone.
I went up to her room and saw her door open. She looked at me and said, "Want to play My Little Pony?"
I smiled as I walked in and played My Little Pony with her. I know she probably doesn't know what transpired today, but it didn't matter. Today we took a stand for Rain. Today we took a position for everyone. Today we took a stand.

8 167Death's Daughter | Supernatural, D.W.
My life is normal, or at least relative to it. Really, how normal does life get, being the offspring of the most murderous of beings, the undertaker himself? Being Death's daughter isn't easy. Existence itself is a trying subject; even more trivial when it's based around taking the lives of (mostly) innocent people. The word mostly is an asterisk for people like Sam and Dean Winchester. My father informed me of them at a young age after a reaping that had obviously gone sideways. "If you have the chance," he instructed me, "drag those obnoxious cock roaches down to Hell, and leave them there."Then, one day, two flannel-clad idiots and their angel on a leash wander into my jurisdiction of the veil. My life has never been the same; my life has never been the preconceived notion of 'normal' that it once was.Disclaimer: I do not own any characters or plot lines from Supernatural.
8 162The Woman In The Palace
Highest rank #1 in Historical He glared at me with irritation. "Come inside!" ...And I did. He pointed to the stack of books on the floor. "Pick them up and arrange them the way they're supposed to."With trembling hands, I did what he asked quickly. Fret in the way I moved, picking up the books into my arms and lap one by one only for them to fall back on the floor over and over. I was a mess, upset, and it was obvious. This wasn't the kind of first meeting I dreamed of.The second prince was mean, and he was irritable. He had no clue who I am which made me resent it even more.He scowled as he watched me made mistakes after mistakes and after a while, he grew frustrated and bent over, picking the books himself."Forgive me, I didn't mean to snarl at you the way I did. I'm not used to being distracted. No one ever walks in my office unless they have my permission. I don't even know how the guardsmen let you in." I wanted to say because unlike you, they recognized who I am. But I kept my mouth shut in fear of aggravating his anger. His voice took a lot gentler tone, I imagined he must've realized how upset I was and felt bad about it.I said nothing.When we're done, I rose up to my feet, couldn't wait to get out of this room. This man was so impolite to me that I couldn't wait to get away from him."I apologize, your highness. I didn't mean to distract you in your private office." I stepped back getting ready to leave when a sliver of sunlight struck highlighting my face. "Wait!" He murmured and I turned back to look at him."You're beautiful." He said breathlessly.I would have blushed, but he was so mean and rude to me that his compliment lost its impact long ago."I need to go," I told him."Wait." A wave of panic rose in the tide of his voice. The prince was afraid to lose me. "What's your name, girl?" He asked quickly. "Jasmine, my name is Jasmine, your highness.""My Jasmine?" He murmured hopeful.
