1.3.13 Social Action Story

Chapter 1 .._..

Ashley ran as fast as she could trying to get away from the pack of bullies chasing here. She knew she would get the worse if they would catch her, and it would not be good. She takes a sharp turn around the house she currently running next to, and scrambled high up. The group of kids turned around the corner and looked around for her. Then Ashley slipped and small scream as she caught herself from falling. By then they obviously knew where she was.
They started to climb up tree after her, but only with their leader’s command. His name was Bread. The biggest baddest bully around. He watched as her heart skipped a beat. She knew she was doomed.
Her thoughts were racing as she climbed higher, out of their reach. Then she realized she could climb on the roof. She jumped, but slipped and grabbed onto the edge. They made it too the top and were reaching out towards her, she noticed Bread had gone and then noticed someone on the roof. She thought it was Bread, so she half let go of the edge and half fell. Then soft hands grabbed hers. They obviously weren't Bread’s. She looked up and it was Zach. She realized she was at Zach’s house.
Zach pulled her up and the one of the kids started to climb but fell. His bright blue shirt had a little red spot on it, and he realized he had a bad cut on his hand. Then she remembered Bread was wearing a blue shirt. He stood up and left. His “friends” followed. Zach led Ashley through an open window, on level with the roof, and into the house.

They were in the kitchen drinking tea. Zach asked what had happened.
"I don't know. I was just walking home from school when Bread jumped out of nowhere and yelled 'GET HER!' and I just ran."
"Where's all your stuff?"
"I've got no homework today."
"Lucky. I do."
Zach grabbed his gray backpack and pulled out an unsharpened pencil and a pencil sharpener.
"Can you sharpen this?"
"Can I? Yes. May I?-"
"Yes." Zach cut Ashley off and handed it to her,
"Here."
"Fine"
Ashley took the small sharpener and pencil and started to sharpen it. Zach took out a big, heavy red book with a red rosé on the front. Ashley gave him the pencil and he started writing as he said quietly "Thanks."

Ashley lay on her bed in silence and her mom yells from below.
"DINER!"
