Alone {Meanie Short Story}

Intro

   I watched day by day as he broke down. I knew he didn't deserve it, but I didn't want to be outcast too.

   When he walked into a room everyone would look away and pretend he wasn't there. When we practiced everyone zoned him out. He was given less parts so that nobody had to deal with him. We wouldn't let him come with us anywhere, and we used the excuse he was sick over and over again. Everybody grew distant to him, and he started to grow distant to himself too. He began to grow thinner everyday. He was too scared to come out of his room to face us. Actually, it wasn't even a room, it was a small closet that we had always used for storage, but that was now his, and that was where he always was. Nobody wanted to be in the same room as a gay. I guess I never realized how bad it was, until he nearly left us... forever.
