Dan The closer I get to school, the slower I start to walk. I'm dreading going there. I feel anxious. Slowly moving forward, I try to breathe regularly, but I can't calm down. My breath gets faster. Not a panic attack. Not right now.
Sun?
Yeah?
Have you finished your exam?
Yeah.
How did it go?
Not bad. I hope I passed.
Good. I'm glad.
Just hearing Sun's voice calms me down. I don't have to ask for help. I can do this. My breath becomes steady again.
Are you okay?
I am now, after hearing your voice.
What's wrong?
Nothing special, just dreading to go to school.
You will be fine, okay? I believe in you.
Thank you, Sun. Thank you so much.
I will be fine.
School terrain. I hope they are already in class. If I'm lucky, maybe they.. "Hey faggot!" I hear a voice behind me say.
Joel. And his nasty friends.
I keep walking, ignoring him. I get pushed forward, causing me to almost fall over. "Hey, loser! Got nothing to say?"
Just ignore them, then the fun will be over. Even though I've been doing that for two years. Eventually, they'll stop. I hope.
"No greetings today? Do you want me to make you greet me?"
I start walking faster, but I feel myself getting tired. I'm the worst when it comes to exercise. Joel, on the other hand, is part of the football team. Of course.
Suddenly, I feel a hand covering my mouth coming from behind. Then, a knee in my back, causing my head to slam backwards. I open my eyes, to see Joel hovering above my face.
Great.
"Are you saying hi yet?" Joel spits in my face. I still remain silent. In all of the sudden, he moves his knee from my back and I stumble backwards. In one swift movement, he steps around me, so now he's in front. I try to get away, but he pushes my chest, causing me to fall. My body hits the cold stone. Joel puts his foot on my stomach. "Still waiting for my greeting!" He laughs. An evil laugh, full of hatred. "Come on fag! I haven't got all day!"
I just stare at him and remain silent.
"Fine. You asked for it." He starts kicking me. In my stomach, my sides, my head, legs, everything. I try not to make a sound. If I wince, I've lost.
Why does my whole body suddenly hurt?
Moon?
Are you okay?
Moon?!
No. No, I'm not. I'm not okay. I'm never okay. Nothing is okay.
What's happening? Tell me what's happening.
Moon?!
Sorry. I can't think straight. He's beating me up.
Who is?
Joel. In lead of the football team. Popular. Bully. Beats me up every day. Never gets less.
Oh my god, I feel so sorry for you. I don't even feel all the pain you feel, and right now I'm hurting. Please stay calm, okay? Everything will be fine. He will go away soon.
Hearing Sun reassuring me makes me close my eyes. Even though Joel is still kicking me, I concentrate on Sun's voice and suddenly feel a lot calmer.
I open my eyes. Joel is still kicking me. I stand up, trying to stay as calm as possible, even though everything around me spins and I am dizzy and I can't think straight. I try to make myself as big as possible. Because I'm actually taller than Joel, I look down on him. He keeps punching me. I don't feel it. "Hi." I say, and stumble away, on my way to the toilets.
