Science class was over and Tyler groaned, he hated science don't get him wrong, but compared to his next class, science was heaven. 

His next class was math, Tyler's absolute least favorite class. 

Tyler struggled with math, he always has. But he never felt comfortable to ask anyone for help. Definitely not his parents, definitely not his siblings, and he had too much anxiety to ask his teachers. 

Year after year Tyler struggled with math, and felt stupid about it. But this year, was the worst math class he had ever been in. 

His math teacher forced the students to work with one other person, and not only did all the kids in school not like Tyler, but because he really didn't understand the material, they all thought he was stupid. You switched partners every month, some were worse than others. 

The one Tyler had currently, was absolute hell for him. 

His name was Michael, he was a jock and never hesitated on bringing people down, like he found some sort of pleasure in it. He made Tyler feel so stupid, they had a shared grade, and whenever Tyler brought his grade down, he was terrible to him. 

Tyler walked in and set his stuff down groaning. The boy walked in and groaned, sitting down next to him. 

The teacher stood up in front of the class, "Make sure you turn your homework in. Today is your last day with your current partners, we are switching seats tomorrow," he said. 

"Thank god!" Michael exclaimed, looking over at Tyler. "Sorry twink, but you suck. I feel bad for whoever has you next."

The whole class broke out in laughter, even the teacher. Tyler was beat red and he looked down, his anxiety rising up. 

"Settle down class, Michael, that wasn't nice," he said. 'Then why were you laughing?' he thought to himself

"Just work on your worksheets," he said. 

"Okay, Joseph. What did you get for #1?" He asked him.

Tyler's hands started trembling. He's so stupid, god he can't do it.. why can't he do something right for once?

"U-um.. x i-is 18?" he asked looking up at him. 

"How braindead are you?" Michael asked him. "Just.. the answer is no solution, write it down." He said. 

"N-no solution?" he asked him. "how? there's no way," he said checking over his work again. "Oh my god twink, it's no solution because once you simplify it down there's no way these two equal each other, listen to me because there's no way in hell that you're right." 

Tyler sighed and just wrote it down. "O-only 14 more questions to go.." he whispered to himself. 

The class went on, and Tyler got none of the questions right. The only thing he got out of it was being tormented by Michael, which was always fun. Tyler couldn't help but just think to himself 'it's okay, it's your last day with him'

Once Tyler and Michael were done they turned in their paper, Michael stopping to whisper something in his friend's ear. His friend just rolled his eyes, "You're such a dick.." he told him.

Tyler sat down in his seat, waiting for the bell to ring and he watched the clock. Michael went over to sit next to him. "So Tyler, I have to ask? I know I tease you all the time and everything, but are you really a fag?" he asked him 

Tyler rolled his eyes. So what if he was gay? Michael was using such hurtful language. "W-what d-do y-you care? Even if I s-say n-no you're s-still going t-to c-call me a twink," he said. "Yeah, but is it true?" he asked him. 

Tyler looked at him. The bell rang and Tyler was out of there, he went to his history class. 

He hated history also, but of course, anything was better than his dreaded math class.
