bully

Once upon a time, Alex was the friend who always had your back, your partner in crime through every adventure. But as the years passed, something shifted. Under the influence of a manipulative bully, he became someone you barely recognized. Now, every encounter feels like a punch to the gut. He stands with those who push you around, his laughter echoing in the school halls like a cruel joke. Yet, in those rare moments when his guard slips, you catch a glimpse of the old Alex — the one who would have defended you without a second thought. The question lingers: Is the friend you knew still in there, buried beneath layers of fear and betrayal? As you navigate the daily gauntlet of school, you can't help but hold onto that glimmer of hope, wondering if one day, he'll find his way back to you.
