Bullying Page #3

Jordi?

What time do you go

to bed, wuss?

I'm pissed at you. The homework

wasn't very well done.

You didn't try hard

and I don 't like that.

We'll talk at school.

You can't understand, you don't know

what it's like to feel threatened.

Your folks don't have problems, right?

Mine are immigrants and do,

and I don't want to be a burden.

I mean, f***, I can't understand it!

I was born here just like them.

So Ania, what do you want to do now?

I'll never forget this afternoon.

Never.

Wasn't that Nacho?

You're better today.

It went well with the doctor.

I feel better.

I'm glad.

Then change than gloomy face.

Give me a kiss, I'm late.

I won't be home for lunch. Bye.

Where are you, wuss?

I really miss you.

You come back or I'll tell your mom.

I see her around.

What's up, kid?

Your girlfriend leave you?

-You haven't been to school in days.

-None of your business.

I could give a damn.

But even so you're being an ass.

And what about you, eh?

I don't have a problem, you do.

-You're pushing it, kid.

-No, you're pushing it!

Look like a pig, reek of booze,

you make me puke.

-Shut up.

-You're sick.

-Shut up!

-Why don't you talk about your family?

And about you.

What did you do to wind up like this?

-You make me sick!

-Shut the f*** up. Shut up!

Birria! Where are you?

Jordi?

Mom, you don't feel good?

-What are you doing here? It's 12.

-You sure you're OK?

Of course.

I came to get some papers.

What are you doing home now?

Can't you see?

Playing hooky.

Please. If you have something else

to say, now's the time.

Jordi.

We're here to help you.

Are you having problems with...

a classmate or a teacher?

I...

I don't have problems with anyone,

I told you.

I'm more interested in

other stuff than school.

Like being in the street.

-ln the street?

-Yes.

But it won't happen again.

I swear.

Look me in the eyes.

Do you really mean it?

By the way,

why did you quit basketball?

-The coach says you're good.

-You're not playing?

No, I'm bored with it.

Hi. Feeling better?

What a cute girl.

And no more playing hooky

or hassles.

OK, OK.

I already promised.

I'm on call again,

I'm sorry.

Here. And don't lose it,

they're very expensive.

-Julia.

-Hi, Nacho. How are you?

Just fine. And you, how are you?

-Were you sick?

-No... I had a cold.

You should've told me.

I'd have brought you my notes.

Goodbye.

So where were you, wuss?

Swear your mom and

the teacher don't know anything.

I swear.

-What time's this to be coming home?

-Same to you. Where were you?

-Hi.

-With some friends. And you?

At the psychiatrist's. But I'm OK.

Is that girl's perfume? Well, well!

-What's up, kid?

-Hi.

Hey cutie.

Looks like Freddy Krueger

is mending his ways.

I like it when you smile like that.

With no hassles.

Where are you going?

Come on, let him by.

Come here, wuss, come here.

Look, since you're such a loyal buddy,

from now on you'll be my protg.

Nobody's gonna bother you.

Cool,?isn't it?

But in exchange

you have to do all the work

they give us in class.

I get 1/2 your allowance.

Some other stuff and that's it.

OK?

You're gonna do it. Got it?

By the way, I'm fixing a little

surprise you'll love. You'll see.

Nacho.

Come on, training time.

The other day I promised you

a surprise. Remember?

Now you're gonna see it.

-ls he gonna like it or not?

-Depends on his tastes, right?

-This is starting to piss me off.

-Get off.

You're a virgin, back and front, no?

Where do we begin?

I don't have all day.

-Today's your big day, dude.

-Are you nuts?

-I'm out of here.

-Then f*** off!

What a jerk! You're screwed up.

Where are you going?

Chill, Jordi.

Chill.

If you don't want to f***,

she'll blow you. Who cares?

Take this. Here.

That's mine!

A**hole!

Son of a b*tch!

What are you doing?

Come on, Nacho!

Help! Help!

-Leave him the f*** alone.

-Don't f***ing move.

Nacho, you're gonna kill him.

You prick!

Clean yourself up.

Hey, rat. What's up?

How's it going, kid?

Didn't think you knew how to smile.

It was just a sneer.

Don't get excited.

-You know what we call you at home?

-You talk about me at home?

I'm honored.

We call you Freddy Krueger.

Not bad. I've been called a lot worse.

But if you keep this up,

we won't be able to call you that.

You don't even have

a cigarette in your mouth.

I'm smoking less.

Hey Bruno, you know what?

The only thing I know

about you is your name.

Let me tell you something, kid.

I'm looking for work,

and that's really big news.

Come on, let go.

And that?

-A mock fight with some friends.

-Mock.

Yeah.

OK, I have to go.

Birria, come on.

Hello. Good morning.

What is it?

You need to know something

important about your son.

Two cracked ribs, bruises

and minor contusions.

Listen, Jordi,

how did this happen?

I already told my mom.

Some kids tried to steal

my jacket and we fought.

They wound up taking it.

You should have told your mom.

I didn't want to worry her

with dumb stuff.

This is dumb stuff?

Listen, Julia, he was attacked.

I'll have to report it

to the police.

And of course we will too.

Take the day off, alright?

And don't worry.

Thank you.

I'm fed up, you hear me?

You think I'm stupid or what?

-You're lying to me.

-I'm not lying.

It's not my fault you take pills

and you see weird stuff.

Tell me, please. Are you unhappy here?

We came here for me,

I feel guilty.

Just drop it.

-We live here, it's going fine.

-I have so little time for you...

I think something's wrong

but you don't want

to worry me with it.

That's not true.

I'd feel better if you saw

a professional, a psychologist.

-A shrink?

-Yes.

Jordi.

Jordi, please.

He denies everything,

but I think

something serious is going on.

Could it be that

you worry too much?

You said you lead a very

stressful life, with tons of work.

No, that's not it.

I'm sure someone

is making his life miserable.

Do you have proof?

No, I can't prove it.

But too much has happened to him

lately to be a coincidence.

Since you're hinting at it,

this is my reply:

at this school

bullying doesn't exist.

Our protocols prevent

cases of harassment

without our knowledge.

Listen to me. I just hope

you do something. Immediately.

Don't worry. We will.

When you decide to,

I hope it's not too late.

All I can do

is sound out the kids. And calm down.

You calm me down with

specific measures and less words.

Good afternoon.

What if she's right?

Please! Can't you see

she's just hysterical?

-Are you Jordi?

-Yes.

Hi, I'm Ania's mother.

I'll get her, OK?

Ania!

How are you, son?

-Hi.

-Hi.

-Well, my mom and my dad.

-Another kiss.

-Nice to meet you.

-Same to you.

-We're going to the beach for a walk.

-Have fun.

But don't come home too late, OK?

Ania. Wait a second.

You should eat some fruit,

you're both too skinny.

Go on.

See you later.

It's weird; it's like

I've known you all my life.

Well l...

I even forget

about all the stuff at school.
