Finding a Bully

Benjamin follows Esther and her friends to the library and Benjamin was in awe, "Wow, this really is big." Molly smiles, "So who should count?" "I counted last time," Isaac said. Benjamin raises his hand, "I could count while you guys hide." Esther smiles, "Okay, you count by the door where we came in, we'll go hide." Benjamin nods and he goes to the door, and covers his eyes as the other three ran to hide, "1....2....3....4....5....6....7....8....9....10! Ready or not, here I come!"

He sets Tux in a chair, "Wait here bud." He pets the toy's head and looks around the library. A few minutes he finds something peeking from a shelf, and it was Mr. Hopp. Benjamin thinks, "Hmm....if Mr. Hopp is here, then Esther should be nearby." He runs around the corner and bumps into another kid and falls back, "Oh, s-sorry." The kid glares at him, "Watch where you're going American freak." Benjamin gets up, "I-I'm sorry....I was just looking or my friends..." The boy laughs, "I'm surprised anyone would wanna be friends with you that fast." He pushes Benjamin hard, chuckling.

Benjamin bumps into a book shelf, shaking and he hears a familiar voice, "Leave him alone Jackson!" He turns his head and sees Molly, holding Miss Bo with one hand on her hip. She glares at the boy named Jackson and approaches him, "He did nothing wrong to you, so leave him be!" Jackson puts his hands up, "Aww standing up for your new boyfriend?" Molly growls and grabs Jackson by the ear, making him whimper, "I suggest you leave him alone or else..." She lets go and Jackson leaves the library and Benjamin looks down.

Esther and Isaac come out of hiding, carrying their toys and meet up with Molly and Benjamin. Benjamin looks at the floor, "I'm sorry I ruined the game...." Esther pats her friend's shoulder, "It's not your fault, Jackson is mean to everyone. Especially new kids." Isaac gives Benjamin Tux and smiles, "Don't let him get to you. He thinks if he's mean to others, it makes him look cool." Molly rolls her eyes, "Even I know that's not a way to have friends." She smiles at Esther and Esther smiles back and the four children smell something. 

Benjamin sniffs the air, "Is that..." Isaac gasps, "Breakfast! Come on, let's go before it gets cold!" The four children leave the library and meet everyone else in the dining room as the matrons give the children some toast, eggs, and sausage and are given milk or juice. Benjamin eats up and he smiles, "Mmmm. This is good!" All the other children agree with him, except for Jackson, who gave him a stank eye and the children eat up their hot breakfast and drink their beverages.
