Both girls turned and stared hard at their classmate Loni as she limped slowly towards them, carrying her lunchbox. "Hey Loni! Do you want to come sit with us?" said Matsepho with a big fake smile. Loni looked confused. Just as she was about to answer, Matsepe shouted, "Ha Ha! Only joking! Do you really think we would let YOU come and spend break with us?" "You can't walk properly with that funny leg of yours, and your uniform is so old and ugly!" said Pabi. Poor Loni said nothing, but her lip trembled. As she started to walk away, all three girls were startled by a loud angry voice. "Matsepho and Pabi! Stand up please!" lt was Mrs Molope, their principal. The girls jumped to their feet, looking nervous. "l heard every word you said to Loni," said Mrs Molope in a cold voice. "How dare you bully your classmate in such a manner! \Mrat do you have to say for yourselves?" The girls looked sheepishly at the ground. They said nothing. Finally, Pabi said, "Please Ma'am. lcan explain." "Sorry, Ma'am," said Matsepho. "A joke?" said Mrs Molope, looking even angrier. "Bullying is no joke. You may not bully anyone. And you should apologise to Loni, not to me. You will both report to detention this afternoon. Now apologise to Loni. No, on second thought, we will save that for later, when you will tell your whole class what you did and apologise in public." Pabi and Matsepho looked at each other.
