Chapter 21: The Assembly
The entire school gathered in the auditorium.
Students filled every seat.
Teachers stood along the walls.
The principal walked onto the stage.
Behind him...
A giant photograph of Captain Harper appeared.
The room became silent.
He looked across the students.
"Today..."
"...we're not talking about bullying."
"We're talking about courage."
He invited the girl onto the stage.
She hesitated.
Then the classmate stood beside her.
Without saying a word.
The principal smiled.
"This young man reminded us..."
"...that it only takes one person..."
"...to stop everyone else from looking away."

The auditorium erupted into applause.
The girl quietly wiped away a tear.
