Chapter 119 - 119: Other Ways To Scare Them Off.
After focusing their gazes on him, the boy that spoke last with Dylan at the cafeteria voiced out,
"I thought I told you to do whatever you want to do. You can even report to the head teacher if you want".
"You guys would be shocked at what would befall you". Dylan uttered still glancing at all of them.
Smirks appeared on some of their faces after Dylan said that, then that same boy voiced out again,
"What would befall us?".
"A lot...a lot that you guys might not be able to handle".
"As I said earlier, you're free to do whatever you want to do".
And after saying that, the leader and that same boy tapped Ryan and Dylan's heads with force before all of them began walking away...
Ryan felt more pain from the tapping 'cause the boy that tapped his head did so with more force than the one that was used in tapping Dylan's head.
Ryan and Dylan just stood there watching the boys walk out of the school compound. The boys glanced back at them twice before they walked out of the school compound completely.
Now, the little scene that took place not too long ago grabbed a little attention. But the moment it was over, every student watching continued what they were doing, which was walking out of the school compound.
As far as they were around, students would always watch whenever a scene was taking place considering that they were teenagers. Teenagers would always act like teenagers, many of them were so immature.
After the boys had finished walking out of the school compound, Ryan and Dylan resumed walking out of the school compound as well. They didn't say anything to each other while walking.
They just kept walking and walking until they were out of the school compound...
It was during the time they'd finished walking out of the academy and had walked some meters away from the academy that they began conversing.
"So, what are we going to do about this?". Ryan inquired of Dylan as they were still walking.
..He was referring to the situation that had resumed itself which was the bullies troubling his life.
"My threat of reporting them to a teacher which would end up reaching other teachers doesn't seem to be working out again. It isn't scaring them off anymore". Dylan voiced out.
"I'm wondering the reason why...seems like they came back bolder after weeks of planning and so on". Ryan stated.
"I can truly report them, but I'm considering you because you don't want that. You don't want them to consider you worse than a weakling".
Silence ensued after Dylan said that as the both of them were still walking, then Dylan's voice resounded again,
"If I was in your shoes, and your father happens to be my father. I would have reported to him a long time ago, apart from reporting to him, I would also report to the teachers and make sure it reaches the head teacher,
I'm even ready to exaggerate what they'd been doing, which means I'm ready to form up things they haven't done before and say they'd been doing it. All this nonsense would have ended a long time ago if I was in your shoes".
Ryan didn't say anything in response to what Dylan just said, he was only staring at him while walking. Then Dylan uttered again,
"But I can understand why you don't want to report, I understand what you're trying to avoid. We are two different people, so the decisions I'd take in certain situations wouldn't be the same decisions you'd take in those same situations, so it is understandable".
Silence ensued for some seconds after Dylan said that, then Ryan voiced out,
"Apart from truly reporting them to the teachers, isn't there another way to stop them from causing distress to my life?".
"Bullies are a kind of being, Ryan. I don't know how their minds work, they are very hard to understand, what I know is that their thinking is really weird. You can't reason with a bully, negotiating with them is almost impossible as far as they are coming for you,
But what I'm sure of is that they hate being reported to people older than them, or people that can punish them for their wrongdoings. They hate it when their wrongdoings are exposed to those kinds of people,
In terms of the bullies in our school, they are all teenagers like us. So getting reported to the teachers or the head teacher is something they don't want at all, they don't want their wrongdoings to be exposed to them,
They are fully aware of what could happen to them when their wrongdoings are exposed to these sets of people. So what they fear the most is being reported, that's the best way to scare off bullies,
You saw the way I scared off those bullies in the past with that same threat of reporting to the teachers. I don't know what other ways to scare off bullies because they're a kind of humans, very complicated sets of people,
There might be other ways to scare them off, but I'm not aware of them. I guess the threat of reporting them isn't working on them anymore because they'd become bolder just as you said, and I'm having a feeling they have a plan and there's something they're trying to confirm,
I can't just seem to place my hands on what they're trying to confirm. Everything I've said should be enough for you to know that I don't know another way in which I can stop them from causing distress to your life apart from reporting them to the teachers". Dylan explained.
Ryan sighed the moment Dylan was done saying that, and there was a kind of gloomy expression on his face...
The both of them were still walking, and after about a minute of walking and not saying anything to each other, Dylan's voice resounded again,
"Since you don't want to go with the option of reporting them to the teachers, then maybe we can make our personal re
Now, during the time they were discussing, Ryan remembered the conversation he had with Dylan about the bullies. According to their discussion, they were supposed to make research on other ways to scare off bullies if there were any at all.
..So as Ryan was conversing with his brother, he was wondering if he should throw the question at him.
