After Branch had ran away crying,Poppy had confronted Creek and the Terrors!He was furious with them,especially Creek!

The principal had heard the commission and had came out to see what happened. Mrs Danny had ordered them into her office and asked for explanation. Creek and the Terrors began lying about what they did and as a result Poppy questioned their lies and explained what he had saw. Mrs Danny didn't believe Creek and the Terrors either so she logged into her computer and went into the video feed. She checked on the inside exit and entrance security camera which had a clear view of the whole sector. Then she reserved it to before Branch got attacked so she could make sure she knew everything that really happened. The Terrors and Creep grew worried because, they totally forgotten about the camera!

Mrs Danny paused the footage and turned her computer around to the teen standing in front of her. She then got up from her seat and walked around her desk then hit play and walked to the teens and stood between Poppy and Creek and the Terrors.

"Now we will see the whole event.", she said seriously.

Everyone were completely silent as the video began to play. Some the Terrors gulped afraid of what will be revealed. Poppy hoped that the truth would be revealed and tried to mentally prepare himself for what he was gonna see.

The footage showed:Creek and the Terrors blocking Branch from leaving then them making fun of her and being verbally abusive as Branch was pushed to the ground.

"Hey!Just leave me alone!", Branch shouted trying to be strong.

" No!Why?",said Jordan.

"Cause we are in the mood for this!", Terence and Creek added together evilly.

That's when things got worse!The group, minis Creep and Terence, began beating Branch really hard and badly as Creep and Terence watched while being verbally abusive to Branch. Branch tried to punch back but,she missed since most of her attackers attacked her at once making it really hard for to defend herself. She really tried to block their hits but,it didn't work very well. Branch's nose began bleeding as Christopher punched her nose. More emotion and mental abuse was spoken towards her as she cried out in pain!

" Go head and cry,you weak freak!", Terence said .

"Even if you told everyone in school nobody would believe you because, nobody will care. Why would they believe you,an ugly,worthless and friendless nobody and outcast,over their beautiful, popular and future prom Queen.", Creek said smugly.

" It so much fun beating her up until she can't move or black out.",Willow joyfully commented.

"Especially when Creek and Terence team-up like they do most of the time.", Wendy happily added as she punched Branch in the face.

" Nobody in Trollworks will believe you if you told them the truth about me or what happened to you on any day. Nobody needs you!",Creek added.

Then Poppy came walked into the scene and stopped. He gasped in shock at horrible scene but,it wasn't noticed by the group.

"I love hurting that freak's feelings in the right places and destroying her self-esteem!No matter how many times we do this, it never gets old like how I use,trick and control Poppy most of the time just to get everything I want!He is so stupid! ",Creek commented proudly.

Poppy was shocked, hurt and angry! He felt betrayed by Creek !How could he be so blind? But,that wasn't the main matter right now. He needed to put a stop to their actions against Branch!

" Watching Branch cry and get beaten up is better than watching an movie!",Terence added.

"Hey!Leave her alone!", he exclaimed.

The group stopped once they heard Poppy. They grew silent and all turned to face Poppy. Some of the Terrors had Branch's blood on them. Branch quickly got up and ran outside while she cried. She so badly hurt that it was clear that she was beaten up!

"Branch!",Poppy gasped.

Creek began pretending like she and the Terrors didn't do any wrong. The Terrors didn't care about the fact that Poppy caught them. They acted and were proud about what they just did to Branch.

"Oh,don't worry Poppy. It's nothing. We were just having a little harmless chat with Branch.", Creek lied.

"How about we go hang out with the pack.",Creek suggested.

She walked closer to Poppy and tried to look as convincing as possible to get Poppy to forget about what he saw but,it didn't work. Poppy was strong headed and knew that the " little chat " wasn't harmless. Did Creek really think he was so stupid that he would ignore what he saw with his own eyes?He felt betrayed by Creek cause she would act like she was on his side with Branch but,that wasn't the truth and she had been using him for personal gain!

" Creek!How could you do that? Have you been doing this to Branch the whole time we known each other?And Don't lie to me!I know what I heard and want the whole truth!",Poppy said furious.

"Fine!I have been doing this longer than that!Why do you even care about her,Poppy? She is not like us!She is not like anybody else in Trollworks! Even no matter how hard she tries to be like us she will always be the grey troll in our school of colourful trolls!So why not keep on trying to keep her in her place?! It's so much fun to do this to someone who will always be the freak of nature for no reason!You should join us next time!", she said proudly.

" Yeah,you should! It keeps the mind sharp!",Terence added smug.

"And it is also an great work out!", Christopher added smug as well.

" No!This is wrong!Branch didn't deserve any of that!I will never do anything like that to Branch!",Poppy stated.

"Then Poppy,how about you forever forget about her and that you ever saw this?", Creek suggested evilly.

How could suggest all that to him?Poppy would and will never do such things to Branch!She may be difficult sometimes and hurt his feelings a little when she rejected his invitations but,he never gave up on her! She deserved to be happy,not in pain!This bullying had to end!The bullying gone too far!Poppy wished he found out sooner about this. Then he realized he had developed a crush on the fake Creek! He was blind to the truth before but, not anymore! Branch was right about her! Poppy hated the real Creek for what she did and who she truly was!

" Forget it,Creek!I won't do that!I will never give up on Branch!Don't think you can convince me to lie about what you guys really done!",Poppy told them.

Then Mrs Danny walked into the scene from the same direction Poppy came from. She stood a foot behind Poppy.

"Why is there so much commotion?", Mrs Danny asked seriously.

Then Mrs Danny walked to the computer and the paused the video. She turned around to face the teenagers and crossed her arms. She gave Creek and the Terrors a disapproving expression. Poppy was even more furious with them and even felt more hurt and betrayed because, he just saw the whole thing happen before his eyes which included Creek's actions!What was wrong with them?Branch was just minding her own business!

"So you all,except Poppy, attacked Branch Timberlake because, you all were " just in the mood for it"!,"Mrs Danny said angry.

"I will have my assistant look for more footage on this gang and extending to Creek Brand as well!You will be expended until all the evidence of your terrorising of Branch and other learners is found!Then you and your parents or guardians will find out whether you will be expelled from Trollworks!You all must each write a apology letter to Mrs Timberlake for your acts against her!Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if a restraining order will be filed against you!Never in my career I had seen such a horrible case of bullying!The fact that you don't seem to be feel any guilt about your actions tells me lot about you!", Mrs Danny added furious with the Terrors and Creek.

The Terrors didn't know what to say. Christ and Wendy chuckled nervously. Creek ,on the other hand, was angry!Why? Trollworks was having another dance,the High School Prom was coming soon and she might miss out on it! How could she become Prom Queen if she can't attend Prom?

" And what if I can't come to Trollworks on Prom night? How would I become Prom Queen? ",Creek asked angry.

" You won't be because, I am also banning you from running for Prom Queen based off your behave!",Mrs Danny replied serious.

"You are all dismissed,except Poppy, so leave my office. Your parents or guardians will get a phone call about this!",she told them.

Creek stormed off angrily out the office while the Terrors followed her. Willow slammed the door loudly while making an annoyed sound. The Terrors were angry as well but,mainly for the fact that they got caught and were in trouble!Creek and the Terrors began blaming Poppy for their problems. They all only felt sorry about getting caught.

Then Mrs Danny opened the door so Poppy could leave the office as well after his small chat with Mrs Danny. She had told him that he had a good heart but, he should fellow the school rules as well. She both thanked him and gave him a small warning about the his fight with the Creek and the Terrors. Poppy happily left the office then was about to say "good bye" to her when she spoke.

"And Poppy, good luck with Branch. It's pretty clear that you will probably visit her. Your girlfriend will need a lots of support and help.", Mrs Danny said warmly.

Poppy blushed at what she had said. Branch wasn't his girlfriend. His feelings for her were confusing but,one thing was for sure. The fact that Branch had this power over him that made his heart beat faster and even skip a beat.

Then Poppy told the principle that Branch was not his girlfriend which didn't change her mind about there being something more to the relationship than it seemed at first. They said their good byes and Poppy walked to Branch's place as predicted. Mrs Danny was right about what he is planning.

Soon Poppy reached the place just in time. Branch's Guardian had just came home. He let him in and Poppy went up to Branch's bedroom. He knocked on the door and to his surprise Bridge had opened door. He let him in and Poppy saw Gristlette hugging an curled upset Branch. Then Bridge and Gristlette left the room and closed the door to give Branch and Poppy some privacy. Poppy sat next Branch's right side and hugged her. Poppy did his best to comfort her. Soon she lifted up her head and turned it to face Poppy so she could look him in the eyes as she uncurled her body. As Branch did so Poppy had let go of her. Branch had stopped crying.

"Poppy, why do you care so much about me?", Branch asked.

"I did nothing to deserve it...",she added lowly.

"Because, everybody deserves to be happy. Happiness is inside of all of us. Sometimes you just need somebody to help you find it.", Poppy said warmly.

Branch smiled and hugged Poppy. Poppy smiled and returned the hug. The bullying had hurt her deeply but, now she felt better after all the support given to her. Especially Poppy's words had made her feel better than before.
