I walk into the classroom and take my seat.

Everyone stares at me, not all at once, but stares, nonetheless.

I can feel the stares as I get to my business

...

It's lunchtime.

Half of the class are out chatting while nearly all the rest are still coming back from language.

I feel bored.

I go up to Shade, one of the friendlier people in the class.

"Hey, watcha doin?"

He doesn't answer.

It might be one of his down days.

I nudge him softly and ask again, louder, "Hey, Shade, what are you doing?!"

He gets up and raises a fist and starts walking towards me.

"CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?!"

Sammita, one of his friends, who noticed what was happening, towards us and tries to calm him down.

I guess that's now one less person I can talk to.

...

We played football in P.E. today.

I stood in the line with everyone else and watched as they picked teams.

Miles...Brian...Mason...Chad...Shade...

I watch as everyone else is picked before me.

Its okay.

I'm used to it.

...

We got our term results today...

35%.

At least they don't fail you at this school.

...

Today, I guess my classmates were feeling good, 'cause Brian, Mason, Chad and Luke let me hang out with them.

Brian was standing in the aisle, and Sammita came walking towards us to get to her seat.

"Brian, could you please move?"

He turns around to face her and shift slightly.

"THERE, I moved."

They never really got along.

"Brain, if you don't move, I'm going to kick you in the shin."

"Well, if YOU don't move, then I'll kick you in the a**," I retort.

These people are finally being nice to me. I'm going to do whatever I can for it to be that way.

She looks at me with an expression of pity and then at Brian, disgusted.

"I thought you were better," she tells him before walking around the classroom through the other aisle and back to her seat.

...

The school counselor came to our class today.

"Now, I've been hearing that many of you have been forming closed groups of friends and don't let other people enter them. Now, is there anyone who has been... pushing someone away from them because they think that the other person is different?"

Avery raises his hand and speaks up, "Ma'am, I really don't want to be friends with Ryder, because he really just won't stop following me around."

Half of the class, (mostly the people I hang out with)  stares at me while the other(Avery's friends), glares at Avery.

Nobody else comes up with any other answers to the teacher's question.

It's okay.

I'm used to it.

...

We got our final exam results.

20%.

...

I'm leaving the school.

A/N

These stuff actually happened to one of my classmates. He was really an amazing person. I can't imagine all that he'd been through. Over the years I've known him, I've heard a lot of people say a lot of things about him. My heart aches for him every second. He's had a very rough ride and I hope nobody has to go through anything like it. I hope he can forget and move on. I wish him a happy life.
