"Team, who did this to you" the teacher held his hand which were covered in bruises
Team, the shy, quiet kid didn't say anything
He allowed his head to be hung low and was silent
"Team, you have tell me who did this" this wasn't the first time that Team had had bruises on his hands
Every time the teacher asked Team who inflicted the pain onto him, he said, 'I fell'
'I have to tell your parents about this" the teacher said
Team looked up at the teacher and he had a panicked expression
"I fell" Team said
"I know you didn't fell" the teacher said
"Yes I did, I fell over there" Team pointed out of the windows over at the stairs
"Team, you have to stop lying and tell me who did this" the teacher had wet cloth and was treating his wounds
"They said they will hurt me more if I tell on them" Team said
"Team, you can be seriously hurt even more if you don't tell me" the teacher said
Six years old Team was now stuck between telling the truth or continue lying
"I can't tell, I fell" Team said
The teacher gave up and finished helping clear his bruises
"You will stay inside for the rest of play time" the teacher said
Team nodded and went to the corner of the room and quietly cried

"Have you guys seen Team" Tina asked
"Teacher wanted to talk to him inside" Will said
Tina looked at the classroom and saw that no one was inside
"I can see them" Tina said
"Teacher is right there" Jay looked at the teacher playing with the other kids
"So where is Team" Jazmane asked
They all ran back inside the classroom and saw Team crawled up to the corner of the room
He looked alone, sad and was crying
"Shh" Will gestured for them to be quiet
They walked towards Team and didn't want to alert him
"Why are you crying" Jay asked
They all crouch down to sit on the mat
"Teacher told me to sit here for the rest of playtime" Team said
"Why"
"She doesn't believe that I fell and that's how I got hurt"
"You have bruises on your hand again" Will asked
"I fell"
"Again, why are you so clumsy" Jay asked
Tina, Jazmane and Will knew he didn't fall. They all had suspected that someone was bullying him
"I didn't mean to" Team said
"We know" Jazmane hugged him to make him feel better

"What are you guys doing here" Win asked his friends who was at his doorsteps with their bags
"If you thought you are going to Finland without us, you are sadly mistaken" Manaow said with a travel bag in hand
