The Speckled Band

`

You’re a rat said omaria. Leave me alone. It all started at the first day of school and ushanty got left out of everything. He was all alone sitting in the corner. Omaria walked towards him, why you here you waste man. Omaria was the biggest bully in the school. Ushanty was an ill-starred little child who didn’t have the slightest chance of winning against omaria. Every single day was the same for ushanty and he dreaded every single lesson. Ushanty was petrified of Omaria and was forced to do Omaria’s work for every lesson. If dis work aint done on time watch wat I do to you. Ushanty didn’t tell anyone about anything. He kept everything to himself. He was afraid that if omaria would find out about it he would be history. Ushanty didn’t have any parents and lived in a care home. His parents both died in a car accident when he was just 7 years old. Ushanty was forced to move away from Sri Lanka. He struggled day by day in everything. Ushanty was a very quiet person who kept his thoughts and feelings to himself. It was the morning and yet again the bullying had already started. The first lesson of the day was science and omaria pushed ushanty on the floor. This is not the time for sleeping said omaria. Ushanty found all the lessons very hard seeing as he had no help at all and had to teach himself everything. At the end of school ushanty began his long journey home. He was just not used to everything in England. It took at least 45 minuets on the bus which meant for ushanty he had hardly any time for his and omaria’s homework. At night when ushanty went to sleep all he could think about was how he should deal with omaria and how things would have been different if his parents were by his side. He had nobody to talk to when something was wrong or when he needed help with anything. It was the morning again and ushanty began his same tedious day at school. Ushanty had given the homework in and because of all the extra stress he kept falling asleep in class. Get out...
