               THE CRUEL CLASSROOM

In the dimly lit classroom , Hana sat at her desk , her heart a fragile bird trapped in
  a cage . The girls around her whispered , their laughter like shards of glass . They called her names-
  ugly , weird , different . Hana's almond eyes welled up , but she blinked back the tears . She'd learned
  to hide her pain , to build walls around her vulnerability .

  The ringleader was Ayesha-a girl with a sharp tongue and cruel smile . She'd mock Hana's wavy hair ,
  saying it looked like a tangled nest . "Why don't you straighten it ?" Ayesha would sneer . "Maybe then
  you won't scare people away " .

  Hana's desk was always empty during lunchtime . The other girls huddled together , sharing secrets and
  giggles . Hana watched from afar , her sandwich untouched . She'd bring a book to escape-the words a refuge
  from the loneliness .

  But it wasn't just the girls . The teacher , Mrs. Shefali , had her own way of tormenting Hana . She'd
  call her to front of the class , her voice dripping with disdain . "Hana" , she'd say , "you are daydreaming  again . Are you even paying attention ?" .

  The kids would snicker , and Hana's cheeks burned . Mrs. Shefali would scribble "phyco" on the blackboard
  , deliberately misspelling "psycho" . The class erupted in laughter . Hana's heart shattered into a thous-
  and pieces . "Why don't you have friends ? " Mrs. Shefali once asked , her eyes cold . "Is it because
  you're too strange ?" .

  Hana clenched her fists , her knuckles white . she wanted to scream-to tell them that she was more than
  their taunts , more than the lonely girl in corner . But she swallowed her words , her silence fortress .
