I hardly feel pain anymore. I'm just annoyed. Every time some friends bully and hurt me a little, even though I feel some pain, But I still don't know what to do..

Win

Who are these people? What right do they have to judge me? They didn't even know how much I was struggling..the force of my father's hand stroking my head. Those loving and affectionate eyes that look at you... No matter what anyone thinks I will help my father.

Ew

"Hoy! That's enough..what are you teasing so hard about?" I continued saying...in annoyance. The good one raised his eyebrows in annoyance and raised both hands to show his consent... At that time, the mathematics teacher arrived. Everyone then returned to peace again.

Mathayom 4/4, this year is the worst.

“Ew”

“Pop!” Win's exclamation sounded. With one hand waving violently towards the back of Nong's head. Then he walked and smiled mischievously. Through my friends' study desks Go sit at the back of the classroom. Including many of his gang members The bulge probably hurts as well. But he never responded.

Last semester it was good to have some rain to help. But since the rain moved Nong himself kept himself isolated. I don't know what I'm thinking. It's pitiful to watch. Win's group is also very good, always playing hard like this, until the friends in the room are fed up with it. There was only Om who looked calmer than anyone else in the group. Om once told me that when he was in kindergarten, he used to study together with Nong.

Nong often gets hit by other people. I've been bullying you since then.

"Hoy! That's enough..What are you teasing so hard about?" I continued to scold Win in an annoyed way. The good guy raised his eyebrows in annoyance. Raise both hands to show your consent. He turned to high-five the rest of the group. At that moment, the math teacher arrived. Everyone then returned to peace again.

(family)

Aew is our own name. Since I can remember, we have lived with Grandma and Nong O. Luckily, I have Aunt Nid, Aunt Nia, my mother's real younger sibling who has always helped and taken care of us. Because Grandma is getting older and older. and began to have illnesses Coming together..Auntie Nid has been married for many years. But I just had my first son, Nong Ryu.

Not yet two years old Aunt Nid is considered a strong woman in our family. Working hard to provide for everyone in the family Even Aunt Tin..Aunt Nid's husband. who is a brat He doesn't make a living and is the most disgusting man I've ever met.

in the afternoon of one day When we were only 11 years old, that day while we were lying upstairs in the house watching TV, Aunt Tin had secretly come up to the house since I don't know when. When he arrived, he came close to us. Trying to molest and hug and fight..We tried to cry out for help. But no one heard

So he seized the opportunity when his uncle-in-law was being careless. Grabbed the TV remote and slammed it in the face. Then quickly ran away from the house. Luckily, Grandma and Oh arrived home just in time. It made us escape from the hands of the evil uncle-in-law.. As for the good uncle-in-law, he pretended to walk down from the house smoothly. It's like nothing happened.

We are very afraid of not being able to do anything. His body and limbs were both cold and trembling. After that day We just kept our guard up and didn't dare tell anyone. Never told anyone what happened. Even Grandma and Nong O Until many years have passed..and then one day

"scream! Oh..help." A voice similar to Nong O crying. It was coming from somewhere nearby. We hurriedly followed the sound to the side of the shed behind the house. Or will Oh fall and fall on his back? She was even more clumsy..

“Quiet!..Bitch.” His voice was low, like he was trying to speak as softly as possible through gritted teeth. Feeling annoyed, we slowly leaned forward from the other side of the large haystack. Immediately, his eyes saw Aunt Tin straddling Oh's body. while using one hand to strangle his neck Makes Nong O unable to cry out. We were shocked and very angry.

Hurry, turn left and right to find help. Suddenly, his eyes turned to see the piles of firewood lying around. So he grabbed a piece of firewood that was the right size for his hand and slowly crept up behind him. When the signal was sent to Oh to be aware of it. He raised his hand and slammed the piece of wood all over the bastard's back.

Swish..thud!

"Oh..Oh, Iow, you crazy girl." The sound of it moaning loudly echoed throughout the house..Oh had the right moment and hurriedly pushed it out of reach. Then quickly turned around and stood up behind us.

"Huh..P'Eew" Nong O called us in a loud voice. Trembling with fear We didn't wait any longer and hurriedly used the firewood in our hands to hit without stopping. After a while, Grandma and Uncle Nit ran up to the scene of the crime. Oh's disheveled and battered condition was a good indication of what had happened before.

Grandma quickly took off her dark long-sleeved work shirt and covered Nong O with it. Ready to hug and comfort Auntie Nid attacks her own husband. Both hands and feet wear it without holding back. The sound of the evil uncle-in-law screaming and cursing and being obscene. But we didn't have the strength to get up and do anything. Because he was hit all over with a piece of firewood. While we were still holding onto the firewood, we wouldn't let go.

His eyes stared at him without stopping..

After that day Grandma almost filed a legal action against Aunt Tin, but Aunt Nid asked for it. Because I don't want to give Little Ryu has a father who is in prison. Uncle Nid later decided to break up and divorce her from her evil husband. motherhood Being a single parent is not as bad as you think. Our family was happier and calmer when Aunt Tin was away.

There were no drunk people who went on a rampage and destroyed things. And we no longer have to be careful when we're home alone. Uncle Nid still works hard as usual. but became happier and brighter Nong Ryu seems to understand the situation well. Even though I miss my father too. He had only asked about his father once.

When Grandma said that Dad had gone back to work in his hometown and would come back to visit often. Little Ryu didn't ask about his father again.

Bad events that happened in our house Both of these times Buried deep in the subconscious mind Without us knowing Every time a male relative comes near We will always feel anxious and paranoid. Even when there are male friends around the same age who come to talk or like each other. We will feel very disgusted and disgusted even though we

That those people are all good people who truly love and want the best for us. His hard, rambunctious personality began to become his signature. Makes us into tomboys until today.

When I started studying in middle school at this school. We decided to invite O to work at a Moo Krata restaurant in the district. At the persuasion of a senior friend who lives next door. Hoping to help lighten the burden on Grandma and Uncle Nid. Going to work outside the home It was also during the night. Even though it wasn't very late at night

But it makes us more mature and able to take responsibility for ourselves and take care of our younger siblings. Become a more tolerant and knowledgeable person.

(school)

“What should I eat today?” Sai's sweet voice asked softly in my ear after math class ended. We turned around and smiled softly, carefully putting the books and school supplies on the table into our backpacks. Feeling a little hungry. My heart suddenly thought of the regular noodles at the cafeteria. So he put his backpack on his back and stood up. Along with hugging the sand to take each other to the cafeteria

“Ah! Do you agree to go together?" The beautiful high-class girl in the class He asked in a high-pitched voice that sounded a bit sarcastic. Sai turned around and smiled shyly. Then shake your head in response. Fah probably doesn't like Sai's friend in the group. Come find a relationship with a tomboy like us. But he couldn't express much. Probably because he was considerate and didn't want to interfere too much with his close friend's affairs. As for Ing Ing and Taew

He doesn't seem to have any trouble with this. The two continued to talk to us and behave normally.

Fah and friends in the group They are descendants of Thai-Chinese people in the district. The family has a career in trading. This allows them to live a luxurious life, using only good things and having a car from home to pick them up. Maybe Fa is worried that Sai is being used by us. With the status quo If we try to look at the truth.

Sai and I are so different, it's like we really live in different worlds. But no matter what We will try to prove to everyone how sincere we are with Sai.

“Iw..please borrow some worksheets for English,” the voice called out to Win, who was standing in front of the room's balcony. While waiting for Fias who was bending down to pick up his own school shoes. Makes us release our hands from the sand and swing our backpacks open. Then choose to pick up an English worksheet from the Bangsai folder and send it to him. Win smiled and nodded slightly.

Take the worksheet and put it in your own bag. Before we reached out and touched the sand's arm and walked away.

Last semester, during the first week of school. As we walked past Teacher Somsak and the group on the steps of the ground floor classroom building. I immediately knew that there would be a "line" reporting to the teacher to arrest Win and his friends. who is smoking in the bathroom on the 3rd floor, if caught in the first week of school Homeroom teachers are probably bored for the entire school year.

Tink..Tink…

"Hello..Iew, beautiful one," Win's voice begged on the phone. Makes you feel nauseous and almost vomit.

“Beautiful! Your father's here.." That's all he said and immediately hung up. Then he took himself to sit with Pat and Laila on the marble horse in front of the school building. After a while, we saw a group of Win walking down from the other side of the school building. Not long after Teacher Somsak and the group walked back down the same way.

“Someone must have sent news to the children..it's like they knew before.” Teacher Somsak's voice murmured softly. As he walked past the back of the marble horse table Head back to the administration room. Win and friends Se walked over and sat with us. To request copying of mathematics homework and Thai language worksheets

“Ew..” Win's voice called. A little smile It's like I want to say thank you. But without saying anything, we nodded our heads in acknowledgment and then lowered our heads to continue writing the social studies report. Actually, Win's group wasn't as bad as we thought. Even though I'm not very diligent in studying. Always likes to cause chaos to teachers and classmates.

But he still diligently comes to school every day to do his homework, worksheets and reports for all subjects. Win and friends I will come and ask for a copy of the exercise book. Worksheets and homework from us almost every day. If you don't count the kratom water case at the Boy Scout camp last year, by looking at them, these guys are pretty decent people too. But like that

Today's karma comes quickly like a rocket. Three weeks later Win and friends was caught by Teacher Somsak while they were smoking in the bathroom. in the morning of one day When other students were lining up to salute the national flag, there was another incident.

Several days ago Wind looked solemn and absent-minded. Doesn't talk and joke with friends like usual, even though he tries to act normal. Both attending classes Do your homework and worksheets like every day. The only good thing is that he's not interested in harassing Nong like he always did. There's one thing you can feel comfortable about.

"What's wrong? It's strange." Win looked up at the sound of our question. Just for a moment, he sighed. Then he closed his eyes as if thinking about composing a story before nodding.

"Um..there's something a little worrying about it," Win told the story of his father being arrested at a border checkpoint in a neighboring country. Because he was betrayed by his best friend who was a large police officer. and had to use a bail amount of up to 500,000 baht. Now Win's mother and half-sister I'm running around looking for money to bail out my father.

But Win feels like he can't help his father at all. It's like this. Things turned out to be much more serious than we expected. He's such a good person, he just sits and feels depressed like this. The bell sounded for the end of lunch break. We stood up and carried our backpacks. Then he reached out with one hand and squeezed his friend's shoulder.

I just want to console and encourage. Even though there's nothing we can do to help.

"It's okay..take care of Mom well." I nodded as a signal. Win then got up and carried his own backpack. Then we all walked to the classroom to study the careers elective. throughout the afternoon of that day

“Thank you.” A soft voice said. As we walked past our study desks and friends We just smiled and nodded at Nong. I want Nong to be confident and comfortable that he is not alone in the world. There are still friends and teachers who always care about him..Deep down, Nong probably worries that the people he associates with and helps himself. may be correct by others bully me too

Just like the rain had happened last semester. Until having to agree to transfer schools earlier

One morning last semester Fon's father breaks into the school. To come and take issue with Win and his friends. For sending messages to disturb Fon and his family all night. While we were doing activities in front of the flagpole Teacher Kulap was also present at the event. Try to dissuade him and take Fon's father and mother to sit calmly in the administrative room. The story escalates

So much so that Teacher Somsak had to ask the director to be the mediator. to investigate and mediate But the situation did not improve. In the end, Fon's family decided to let Fon transfer to another school. Teacher Kulab once called us to inquire about bullying in our classroom. At that time we felt very embarrassed.

Part of me wanted to help Nong and Fon. But another part of me still doesn't trust the teacher. And he didn't want Win and his friends to be punished, so he promised the teacher that he would help take care of Nong and dissuade Win's group from bullying Nong too much. Teacher Kulap didn't expect anything. Because interfering in the affairs of students in other classes who are not the homeroom teachers would not be a good look. Therefore, we were only reminded that if there was anything unusual or unsafe to tell the teacher immediately.

Teacher Kulab is the teacher who teaches mathematics in our class. She was a middle-aged woman who looked older than her years because she didn't dress much. But he is a good teacher and is also fun. His wicked jokes made us both laugh and flinch. Even Win's group said for sure.

Still didn't dare cause trouble in her math class. Although on the outside Teacher Kulab appears to be a disciplined and rather fierce person, in reality, I think she is a responsible person who truly cares about all her students. Lately..Teacher Kulap always keeps calling for and using Nong. Always do this and that for you. Chao Nong himself seemed quite willing and happy to have a teacher who was interested and concerned like this.

last Monday It's the first day of exams at the end of the second semester, after lining up in front of the flagpole in the morning. We stopped to use the bathroom at the back of the library. While walking through the shrub garden in front of the agricultural shop A familiar voice was heard on the other side of the bushes.

“Is it good..Win? If caught again This time it will definitely be a big hit,” Om commented, sounding a little worried.

“I'm really struggling. All of my father!” Win replied in an angry tone.

“Let's do it. You've come this far..what do you say, Fiat?" Pound asked, not knowing what Fiat's reaction was.

"Gun and Om, if it's not convenient, that's okay..Pound Fierce, tomorrow we'll meet in the classroom during lunch time," Win concluded as if closing the meeting. What are these people thinking about doing? It doesn't seem very good..what should I do now?

"oh! Are you here? We've been waiting for a long time..huh!" Laila's voice walking up to her rang out. We quickly put our hands over our mouths. He immediately dragged her out of the garden and to the front of the school building.

(teacher's room)

“Please allow me.”

"Oh..Eew, come in," Teacher Kulap said giving permission. So we walked in and sat down and knelt still next to him. Teacher's desk for a while

“Is there something wrong?” The teacher's eyes glanced over. along with asking While his hand was still busy examining the math exercise books that were piled up on the table. We decided to tell you all that we could tell behind the bushes yesterday. Teacher Kulap stopped her hands that were busy working.

Grab your mobile phone and immediately click to view the CCTV footage. The CCTV footage shows Win, Pound, Fierce, Gun and Om walking into the classroom and closing both classroom doors.

Suddenly, Teacher Kulap grabbed her handbag and put it on her arm. Got up and walked out of the teacher's room towards the old school building behind. which is our homeroom classroom Phats and Laila, who were waiting at the front of the room, hurriedly followed the teacher. With us following closely behind.

"..Don't interfere in our affairs." Win's voice came from far away. Just beyond the stairs of the building. We saw the picture that Win. Pound and Fiat were gathering together in front of the balcony of the school building. Nong's backpack was on the ground. Things were scattered everywhere. Even the mobile phone shattered into pieces.

We feel sorry for Nong Jajai. In this work, Win's group really went too far.

“Stop it! Three of you," Teacher Kulab's voice said. He almost ran from the front of the steps to the middle of the balcony of the building at the scene of the incident while wearing high heels. We, Phat and Laila followed and stood behind the teacher to watch the incident. There are roommates and friends who live in different rooms. Slowly coming up to the school building and making louder and louder noises.

“Win, Pond and Fierce go down to the administration room to wait for the teacher!” At the sound of the three Kulap teachers, they all walked and fell down the steps of the school building. Go straight to the administrative room immediately.

“You all help take Nong to the nurse's room quickly..The teacher will call the hospital first.” The teacher called two male students from another class and then arranged to call an ambulance to come pick up the student who was injured in the fight. Then he walked over to the open classroom door. Gun and Om stood motionless in the middle of the classroom. At this time, the Thai crowd began to gradually come up to watch the event and make loud noises throughout the area.

"Here..and Om too? Okay..then follow the teacher." Teacher Kulap walked in front of the two young men. who walked forward sadly, closely following the teacher We went to look into the classroom. Saw two study desks that had been dragged out into the middle of the room. On the table is a mobile phone. Tablets and other valuables Most of them belong to Fah and his friends.

We snatched out a mobile phone with a Winnie the Pooh cover and Sai's small change bag. Then walked over and handed it to the person who had just arrived with the sky. Sai took the item back confusedly. Meanwhile, other friends went in to pick up their own things and take them back one by one..

Video clips from security cameras captured the entire incident. Win and friends along with mother and other parents Sitting together watching video clips in the administrative room. Teacher Somsak and the Director's expressions were clearly tense. We pretended to walk by casually.

Meanwhile, he went to observe inside the administrative room. And in the evening after that, video clips from CCTV cameras It was shared by a skilled person somewhere on social media. Many people watch and share the video clips one after another.

“You bad boys! Let's do it again."

"Not just hurting a friend..I saw him stealing things too."

"TRUE! Really bad..really, kids these days.”

“Wait..just the same joke. My son is a good person.”

I saw a long comment. And I felt cold for the person who was being bullied. Even though the Wins are a bit unruly But it's not all bad. Sometimes people on social media are too quick to judge things.

The next day, the families of Fah Ing-ing, Sai and Taew filed a complaint against Win and their friends for theft. The police then arranged for them to go to the police station to reach a mediation agreement. to record daily records as evidence or report further legal action Nong's father and brother Therefore, a criminal complaint was filed for intentionally injuring another person.

without asking for any compromises Finally, the police issued an arrest warrant. This caused Win to later surrender at the police station. The good person confessed and pleaded guilty to all the crimes alone. In order not to let friends The group must also suffer. and was sentenced to 2 years imprisonment or a fine not exceeding 150,000 baht, or both.

After being released from the police station Pound and Fias were given sentences to transfer schools. He had to give evidence to the court and was sentenced to probation for 1 year. As for Chao Kan and Om, Escaped from all charges Because there is no image of the two of them appearing in the video clip. When Nong was assaulted But he still has to serve his probation sentence for another count of theft at school.

New term has opened. In just the first year, the number of members in our room dropped drastically. Besides Pond and Fiat who were transferred to different schools. Chao Win was previously sentenced to 2 years in prison. Nong's mother and brother I came to contact to take the final exam. Then make a request to transfer schools for Nong to return to study at the same school.

Marble horse in front of the original school building The rest of us sat around and exchanged homework. Worksheets and exercises as usual The sound of Teacher Somsak sitting and training about 4 - 5 Mathayom 3 students who just had a quarrel with each other late last night. along with the parents who gradually arrived in the administrative room one by one

Makes us think back to events that happened last semester. I miss my friends. Everyone who has lived here has studied together. For a moment my brain was wandering, thinking about something else. Teacher Kulap walked down the stairs of the building and reached the ground floor. I immediately got up and walked towards the teacher. Received a bag filled with books and various teaching materials.

Then followed him and delivered him to the teacher's room in another building. Teacher keeps asking questions about his sufferings. Then he took out the souvenir keychain. from abroad The teacher who went on a trip during the school break came out and sent it to me.

“Have you heard any news about Prince Win?”

“Win's mother said I've gone to the observation center in the province.." replied the teacher, following what Win's mother had said a week before.

“Teacher..now what will Win be like? Is it very difficult to live like that?”

“Um..Teacher doesn't know either. So..this Saturday the teacher will try to go in and ask to visit Chao Win at the observation center.”

"Really? Teacher, thank you." Raising both hands to pay respect to teacher. The heart swelled with joy. His lips held back a smile that was barely able to hide it. We half ran, half walked out of the teacher's room and back to the marble horse again..

finish…
