Bullies Threw the New Girl on the Lunch Table—Then They Had to Bolt for Their Lives!

When Mia transferred to Crestwood High, she hoped for a fresh start. Small and quiet, with striking green eyes and a gentle demeanor, Mia was used to being overlooked. Her family had moved often, and she’d learned to keep her head down. But Crestwood was different. The students here were cliquish, and the lunchroom was ruled by a notorious group of bullies led by Brittany and her friends.

On Mia’s first day, she nervously carried her lunch tray through the crowded cafeteria. She scanned for an empty seat, but every table seemed to close ranks as she approached. Finally, she spotted a single open spot near the back. As she sat down, Brittany’s group swaggered over.

“Who said you could sit here, freak?” Brittany sneered. Her friends snickered.

Mia mumbled an apology and tried to get up, but before she could, one of the bullies yanked her backpack. Another shoved her from behind. In seconds, Mia was sprawled across the lunch table, her food flying everywhere. The cafeteria erupted in laughter.

But then, something strange happened.

As Mia struggled to sit up, a deep, guttural growl echoed through the room. The lights flickered. A cold wind swept through the cafeteria, sending trays and napkins skittering across the floor. The laughter died instantly.

Suddenly, the fire alarm blared, but no one had pulled it. The doors slammed shut on their own, trapping everyone inside. The bullies backed away from Mia, their faces pale with fear.

Mia stood, her eyes glowing an eerie shade of green. The temperature dropped, and frost began to creep along the windows. “You shouldn’t have done that,” she whispered, her voice layered with something ancient and powerful.

Chairs slid across the floor, pinning the bullies in place. The rest of the students screamed and bolted for the exits, but the doors wouldn’t budge. Brittany tried to apologize, but her words froze in her throat.

Then, as quickly as it began, the chaos stopped. The doors flew open, and the cold vanished. Mia blinked, and her eyes returned to normal. She looked around, confused, as if waking from a dream.

The bullies scrambled to their feet and ran from the cafeteria, terrified, never daring to look back. The story of the “lunchroom ghost” spread through Crestwood like wildfire, and no one ever messed with Mia again.

In the days that followed, Mia found herself surrounded by new friends—students who admired her quiet strength and mysterious aura. The bullies, humbled and shaken, learned a lesson they would never forget: sometimes, the new girl isn’t as helpless as she seems.
