Archie always loved computers. For him, the glow of a monitor and the click of a keyboard were comforting, a small sanctuary from the chaos of the world. But in IT lessons at Ridgewood High, that sanctuary was constantly under attack.
It started small. A snide remark from Jake, the self-appointed ringleader of the class’s troublemakers. “Hey Archie, trying to hack NASA over there?” Jake’s sidekicks, Liam and Marcus, laughed on cue. Archie ignored them. He had learned long ago that responding only made things worse.
But it didn’t stop there. One day, as Archie was meticulously coding a simple program, Jake reached over and slammed the power button on Archie’s PC. The screen went black, and hours of work vanished in an instant.
“Oops, my bad,” Jake said with a mock-apologetic grin. Liam and Marcus howled with laughter.
Archie’s jaw tightened, but he said nothing. He restarted the computer and began to rebuild his code from scratch. The teacher, Mr. Hargrove, was too absorbed in his own world, barely glancing up from his desk.
The next week, things escalated. During a group project, Archie’s notebook was snatched from his desk. Jake tossed it to Liam, who lobbed it across the room to Marcus. It was a cruel game of keep-away, with Archie scrambling between desks, trying to retrieve the book that contained all his notes.
“Come on, Archie! Jump for it!” Jake taunted, holding the notebook just out of reach. When Archie finally managed to snatch it back, the pages were crumpled, some torn, and his careful handwriting was smeared.
Archie sat down, his hands trembling as he tried to smooth out the ruined pages. His cheeks burned, but he refused to let them see him cry.
The final straw came during a particularly important lesson on database management. Archie was engrossed, trying to follow along with Mr. Hargrove’s instructions, when his screen suddenly went dark. This time, it wasn’t Jake. Liam had crawled under the desk and pulled the plug from the wall.
“What’s the matter, Archie? Looks like your PC’s on strike,” Liam jeered as he climbed back to his seat.
The class erupted into laughter. Even Mr. Hargrove chuckled, clearly oblivious to the malice behind the act.
Archie’s hands clenched into fists. He could feel his chest tightening, anger and frustration boiling over. He stood up, his voice steady but firm.
“Why do you do this?” he asked, his gaze fixed on Jake. The laughter died down as the room fell silent.
Jake smirked but said nothing, clearly caught off guard by Archie’s sudden defiance.
“Do you think it’s funny?” Archie continued. “Making someone feel like they don’t belong? Ruining their work for a joke? I don’t get it.”
For a moment, the only sound in the room was the hum of the computers. Mr. Hargrove finally looked up, his expression a mix of confusion and concern.
Archie took a deep breath, his voice breaking slightly. “I’m here to learn, just like everyone else. So leave me alone.”
Jake opened his mouth to respond, but Mr. Hargrove cut him off. “That’s enough,” he said, his tone sharper than anyone had ever heard. “Jake, Liam, Marcus, see me after class.”
Archie sat down, his heart pounding. He didn’t know what would happen next. Maybe the bullying would stop. Maybe it wouldn’t. But for the first time, he had stood up for himself, and that small victory felt monumental.
As the lesson resumed, Archie plugged his PC back in and reopened his program. The code began to take shape on the screen once more, and for the first time in a long time, Archie felt a flicker of hope.
