บท 9: Tom's Rescue Mission
T-3 Days to Incident
#Around the time of gym class
Tom wasn't feeling like going to the gym class. The brutality of Pig and Snake left him with a bruised and battered heart and body. The scene from the math classroom—how his not-classmates framed and ridiculed him, how Martin and Elister falsely accused him—was continuously coming like flashes. He looked out the window the whole time, not paying any attention to the class. “What kind of world is this? Why am I the only one suffering? Is there no break in this chain of misfortune?”
The gym class chime brought Tom’s anxious anticipation to a refreshing end. “Let’s skip the gym class.” He took his pants and jersey and ran toward the bathroom before anyone could notice him. He was like a unicorn riding a typhoon—fast and vicious. “I have to avoid being detected at all costs.” His presence was low; no one noticed he had left.
As he was moving toward the male bathroom, he saw his savior from the other day—the cute girl. He got curious, so he followed, but for this, he had to move in the opposite direction. However, he had to create distance as he saw some suspicious girls stalking her. “So, the hunters are following the prey.” As a seasoned bully victim, Tom immediately knew something was up. So began the stalking of the stalkers. He was vigilant not to get noticed. Most students were already in the gym class, so the corridor remained empty. It helped Tom creep onto them unnoticed.
The cute girl went to the bathroom. The stalking girls waited a few minutes and then entered as well. Tom sneaked near the door frame to peek at them. “Yes! Just as I thought!” The girls threw a bucket of dirty water through the opening of a stall. “That cute girl is in there, I’m sure.”
He quickly retreated to an empty room near the girl’s bathroom and waited for an opportunity to help. “What if those girls stay there and harass her when she comes out?” He looked around for spying eyes, stepped out of the room, and stood by the door frame. “Okay! No one is here!” He inhaled, mustered all the courage, and shouted, "Teacher! Here! Someone is bullying in the girl’s bathroom!" Then he retreated to the safety of the room inside and waited. The stalkers came out running and looked for the person who shouted. Tom’s voice shook their determination to harass the girl inside; they left.
Seizing the opportunity, Tom sneaked inside the bathroom. He tried to figure out where the girl was. A ghostly sound of weeping drew him closer to the stall where the girl was. He knocked on the door and hung his gym clothes on the frame of the stall. "Use these. I don't know if they will fit you. Consider my debt paid." Saying this, Tom quickly left the bathroom.
Tom immediately went back to his classroom. However, he failed to notice one of those stalkers hiding behind the stairs and taking video. An evil smile appeared on her face. The video was ambiguous, but the fact that a boy came out of the girl’s bathroom and that bitch came out next, wearing a different set of clothes that were not with her when she entered the bathroom, was good enough for delicious raunchy footage and a vicious and ugly rumor. “Just a bit of editing here and there. A perfect scandal! Cacey, you are finished.”

#During gym class, near the girl’s bathroom
Hearing someone calling the teacher, Maisie and her gang quickly ran out of the bathroom.
"The teacher is coming."
However, outside, there was nobody.
"What is this? Someone watching us?" Maisie looked around and said, "What nonsense! Anyway, you girls leave; I need to check who was shouting." As the other girls had left, she hid herself behind the staircase.
"I will capture the punk who shouted. I’m sure he’s hiding somewhere here." She readied her camera. Suddenly, a boy appeared from the other side of the bathroom and was immediately captured on video.
"Cacey, you are finished." All Maisie had to do was edit the video to fix her version of the context. “When I put this out there, people around Cacey will do the rest. Stupid bitch! You shouldn’t have crossed the line.”

#Gym Class
The gym class was a recess for the students to blow up some steam between classes. And for those delinquents, this was their time for some target practice. Pig and Snake were looking for Tom.
"Where the hell is he?" Martin was furiously looking around.
"He may have skipped, knowing we would do some workouts on him." Snake laughed.
"How dare he waste our effort?" Martin kicked a ball but missed it and fell on his ass. "Tom! This bitch! I’m hurt because he isn’t here. I never miss him!" Angry Martin was shaking in anger. He tried to kick the ball again, but this time the sole of his foot touched the ball, and he slipped. He hurt his back and head this time. Time and again, he tried and kept missing the ball. He was frustrated, and other students sneakily smiled behind his back.
"What the hell are you punks laughing at, huh? Want some beating?" Students around him moved away.
“Today, I will genuinely give you a beating. Wait for it.” Although it was all him the way he got hurt, he kept on blaming Tom for his misfortune. Bullies like him didn’t follow any science. Their logic is that of a baby. They throw a tantrum when nothing goes their way. Martin wasn't any different. That fat lump of lard was furious at Tom, and there was no logic in it. Bullies like them only understood a higher power. If someone could beat his ass, he would gladly lick his boots. His inferiority complex had riddled his insecure ass, and his anger originated from it. Weak Tom was better than him at everything, but he didn’t give him a chance to shine. He was jealous of Tom’s softness. Martin the Pig didn’t know why he wanted to start beating Tom the moment he appeared in front of him. Tom was like a mysterious attraction to him. The more he tortured him, the guiltier he felt. But at the same time, he enjoyed the guilt. “Tom, this bitch has turned me into a psychopathy! I will kill you for this, Tom. Really kill you!” He was hissing like a cobra.
