What The Bully Doesn't Realize

Avni was a teenager.

- Nimra Mariyam Patel

She led a normal student life with loving and caring parents and friends who were like family to her. She wasn’t very popular in school. She didn’t talk to many people but had a few close friends whom she knew she could always trust.

She was a very happy girl, a little bit clumsy at times, a little childish, but everyone loved her for who she was. But little did she know that there was someone who didn’t like her.

It all started with a message on her phone telling her “Stop”. Avni was confused. She replied, “I’m sorry, maybe you have the wrong number?”

After a few days there was another message: “You are Avni. I have the right number.”

Avni thought it was a friend from school so she replied, “may I have your name, please? and I don’t understand what you mean by ‘stop’.”
