An ambulance left the school a little while later, yet the only students who seemed to care were those who belonged to the Rugby team, as well as those like John who felt guilty about Mr Root’s sacrifice. Gary, had watched the ambulance drive off into the distance until he couldn’t see it any more, worried about his teacher.
‘Is it my fault that everyone I actually somewhat care about ends up being hurt? Why didn’t I just act sooner? I should have stood up when Mr Root took the blame… NOT after they had beaten him up so badly…’
“It’s not your fault.” Kai spoke up to comfort his friend. Turning his head, Gary could see that the others were there as well. The other members of the Howlers along with Tom.
“We should have acted from the beginning. I wasn’t much better than the rest of those scared sheeple. I was too worried about that…” Kai let out a frustrated sigh.
