Bitten While Defending a Friend

is an animated story created by Rebecca Parham.
== Synopsis ==
Rebecca explains how she got bitten while defending her friend from another kid and got in trouble for it.
== Story ==
In 1996, Back in Rebecca's preparatory school, she didn't have too many friends and got picked on by most of the kids. However, a few of them regularly bullied her (and most likely other kids). One of the bullies was called "Milly", who didn't only target Rebecca, but she tormented a lot of other kids in the school, including girls, boys, small kids, big kids, etc. She would do some cheap insults to them and physical violence. What Rebecca could do is defend herself and the innocent, but even that defense can come with consequences.
In Rebecca’s sixth grade year in 2001, the story between Rebecca and Milly has happened. At that time, a new student called Greg came into the preparatory school. He had a very poor family life, everybody hated him and he hated everyone, except for Rebecca, because Rebecca actually wanted to help him and be friends with him. It was shown that she has offered him chips, for example.
Rebecca's preparatory school was small, so they had no cafeteria, but instead, they had to eat in the gym. Rebecca and Greg were eating on the bleachers, then, Milly showed up to pick on Greg, who had his journal next to him. Milly was snatching the journal, running away to the girl's locker room, Greg ran up to her but couldn't enter the room. She directly read to Greg out loud the heavy content in his journal, then Rebecca showed up and defended him because she thought that this was not right. At first, Milly and Rebecca were tussling the journal, then 10 seconds later, Milly grabbed Rebecca's arm, bent down and has bitten it. Rebecca screamed very loudly and when Milly let go of her, she saw the bruise in her arm.
Human bites are very harmful, not only because of the injury itself but because of the fact that human saliva has a lot of bacteria and the bacteria can enter into the body from the bruise to create an infection. Milly didn't bite the skin, but if she did so, it would've been even more harmful.
Rebecca screamed at Milly that she is going to the nurse. Milly was sweating a lot and dropped the journal, then Rebecca went to the nurse with Milly following her. Rebecca got her arm disinfected, then, they went to the principal's office. Rebecca told her side of the story of her arm getting bitten, then, when it was Milly's turn, she was either lying or exaggerating that she couldn't breathe. Both students got 5 demerits, but Milly collected 10 because this was her second time in the principal's office. This means that if Milly went into the principal's office for the first time, she would've been as equally punished as Rebecca, who only tried defending for her friend, Greg. At that moment, she thought that she would be in big trouble.
After the final bell that she was dreading for, she left the school and arrived at her mother's car. She went there, expecting a lecture, but all she did was tell her that she is waiting for her sister to come back from her basketball practice, only because she didn't know anything about the incident. Rebecca thought something has to be done about the bite, so Rebecca told her mother about the bite. Rebecca's mother furiously came into the principal's office and told her about the bite. She tried her best to remove the 5 demerits for half an hour, but couldn't, but Rebecca was happy enough for defending Greg as much as she could. Ever since then, Milly would rarely bully Rebecca and Greg.

== Easter eggs ==
* After Milly told her side of the story, Rebecca was doing an objection, and the interface in the scene is an AA game reference.
* When Rebecca told her mother that her hand was bitten and her mother said: "Oh, hell no", it might either be a reference to Mortal Kombat or a coincidence.
== Trivia ==
* This is the first video that has ever been premiered. It was premiered on April 4, 2020, at 3:00 PM in Rebecca's time zone.
* This is the first video that had a preview on the Let Me Explain TWOdios channel.
* This is the second video where a mouth is involved in a story. The first is My Terrible Mouth Accident.
* She wore a superhero costume in the video.
* It is the first video of 2020 on the main channel for most viewers and the second video of 2020 for those who live in more eastern time zones.
* At the beginning of the video, Rebecca said that she can't say the "b-word" because that would get her demonetized from YouTube's strict monetization policies. The "b-word" is "bully".
* Given that this happened in 6th grade, Rebecca was probably 12 years old at that time. Moreover, Rebecca was born in December 1987 and the locker door at the beginning of the video indicates "Bullyary" which means "January". So, this incident might've most likely happened in January 1999.
