I have made my short story about the kid who was bullied but made a friend who stood up for him. Here it is:
Little Tommy jumped in the car ready for his first day of 1st grade. He was so excited to get the school year started. The only thing he was worried about was making friends. He had friends in Kindergarten but he wasn't sure if they were going to be in the same class as him.
"Are you excited?" his mom asked.
"Yes but I have butterflies in my stomach." Tommy exclaimed. "I think maybe I should wait until my stomach feels better, then go to school."
"How long will that take?" his mom chuckled.
"A year." tommy whined.
"It is completely normal to feel this way, but I know my brave boy is more than ready." his mom exclaimed.
Tommy knew his mom was always there for him and that always put a smile on his face. As soon as they pulled up to the school, the feeling of butterflies in his stomach, came back. His mother got out of the car and motioned for Tommy to follow her. They walked into the school building and found the library, where they were supposed to meet Tommy's teacher.
"Over there! " Tommy exclaimed, "There is Mrs. Johnson." They walked over to her and greeted her.
"Hello there!" Mrs. Johnson exclaimed. "You must be Tommy!"
"Yes ma'am and I am very exited to start your class!" Tommy replied. Mrs. Johnson smiled and gave Tommy a name tag. Then she told him to go look through the library as she talked to Tommy's mom. Tommy ran over to the shelf and looked through the books. All the sudden a boy jumped in front of him and knocked the books out of his hands.
"Are you gonna pick that up or just sit here staring at me?" The boy said.
"I'm sorry." Tommy bent over and picked up the books and put them on the shelf. "I'm Tommy and I hope we can be friends!" The boy just laughed and ran to the other side of the room. Tommy walked up to a girl and smiled.
"Hi what's your name?" Tommy asked the girl.
"None of your business." The girl replied.
"I was just trying to make friends." Tommy sighed looking at the floor
"I was just kidding!" The girl laughed. "I'm Sarah! What's your name?"
"I'm Tommy!" He replied, smiling. Mrs. Johnson walked over to them and motioned for them to follow her. They did as told and followed her down a hallway into one of the classrooms. There were children already sitting in the desks.
"Alright class, your name is on your seat so just find it and sit down please." Mrs. Johnson said sweetly. Tommy's name was on the desk next to the bully kid. He sat down uneasily and saw that Sarah was sitting right next to him, which made him feel a little better.
"Alright we will go outside for an early recess, since it will be raining later on today." Mrs. Johnson exclaimed. The kids ran outside and skipped to the playground. Tommy got on the monkey bars and swung back and forth.
"Get off!" Yelled the bully kid. Tommy looked at his name tag and it read; Max.
"You have to wait your turn." Tommy growled. "It says in the rule book to always wait your turn and always be patient and considerate."
"Did you memorize that rule book or something?" Max laughed then jumped off the steps. He ran over to Tommy and tugged at his feet. All the sudden, Max yanked him off of the monkey bars.
"Max! Get away from him!" Sarah exclaimed. "Tommy has been nothing but nice to everyone and this is how you treat him? Be nice and treat others the way you want to be treated." Max ran to the other side of the playground and sat down by himself.
"Thanks so much!" Tommy exclaimed.
"Your welcome!" Sarah replied "You do not deserve to be treated that way!"
"Do you think we should go sit with him?" Tommy asked.
"Why should we? He is a bully!" Sarah exclaimed.
"I don't think he has any friends." Tommy said as he ran over to him, Sarah following.
"I will be your friend if you be kind to people and....." Tommy said but was interrupted
"Treat people like you want to be treated." Max interrupted. Tommy stretched out his hand and Max shook it. They ran off and played together and Max learned to always be nice.
That afternoon, Tommy waited outside for his mom to pick him up. Her car pulled up next to the front of the school building and Tommy jumped in.
"Did you have a good day at school, sweetheart? " His mom asked.
"I did! Tommy blurted. He had been waiting all day to tell his mom about his day.
