The boy was pushed backwards. He stumbled and fell headfirst into the mud. His t-shirt was stained with the sludge and he even felt some of it going into his mouth. The group of older children surrounding him were laughing at him as he spluttered out mud.
Yura came forward and stepped on the boy's head, pushing him further into the mud. The boy was almost being suffocated till Yura let him go.
"That's for being a smartass," she said with contempt. "Talk back to us again and I'll tie you up and dump you in the river!"
One of her bootlickers pushed the boy back in the mud as he attempted to stand up. They all laughed cruelly as the boy whimpered in pain.
"Let's go," Yura sneered. She led her gang away as the boy lay in the mud.
