Boy- Hahahahahaha look! She can't even walk.

Girl- Poor hahaha, she can't play jump rope like us.
Me--
Boy- Dirty crippled boy! Me- I don't like you!
Girl-Me neither.
Me-Why?
Girl-Because you're ugly and can't run like other girls.
Me- Ah, okay...
[11 Years Later]
Boy - Hey!! Look at the new haha!
Other boy - Hahaha, do you think she's doing things uhm uhm...
For eleven years now I've been getting insults and judgments about my disability. When I was little, I had an accident. I was on my way to school with my mother when a car crashed into me and both my legs were cut off. Since then, people see me as a different kind of person.
I haven't had any friends for 12 years now.
My parents are divorced. The cause: my disability.
Since my accident, my life has completely changed. Everyone has turned their backs on me.
Girl 1- Oh handicapped, get up!
Me--...
Girl 1- I'm talking to you!
Me- I can't get up.
She and her girlfriends come up to me and they start laughing. The girl who asked me to get up is starting to carry me.
Me- What...What are you doing?!
Me-- I told you to get up, I'm doing it.
She's lifting me up with her girlfriends. I was now standing on top of them.
Girl-Now run, you piece of shit!
She pushes me to get a run-up but my legs don't respond. I fall on both my knees, then my whole body.
Girl 1 - "laughs" We don't want people like that in our school!
Me-Ow...
Even though I can't feel anything in my legs, it hurts...psychologically it really hurts....
A boy comes up to us and looks at me...
Shame, I'm lying on the floor like a worn-out rag.
Me- You... You came to laugh at me too? Go ahead and laugh. (I lower my shameful head)
Boy 1: Kamillia, get out of here!
Kamillia (Girl 1) - But Rayan...
Rayan- Shut up! Are you having fun doing this?!
He comes up to me and he carries me.
Rayan- Are you okay?
Me- Yeah.
Boy 2 - Wsh brother, are you serious? You helping him?
Rayan- Yeah, you got a problem with that? We know each other so you can talk to me, even? Come on, make a left!
They're leaving and "Rayan" is crouching down in front of me.
Rayan- You new?
Me- Yeah.
