NEW STORY
LEXIHe walked down the halls, he could feel their disgusted stares, hear their nasty whispers about him and hear their hushed laughs as he walked passed them. But he ignored them as best as he could.
He was new, a week ago he had came to America for a few life—as his mother would tell him. Today was his first day, his first day at St. Taylor's High school.
He knew why they stared, it was because he was fat. He was use to the teasing and name calling. It hurt him but he always tried to smile as if it didn't affect him. Whenever he asked his mamma about it she would say that it was just his baby fat.
He always thought how could he be 17 and have baby fat. He always asked himself that. No one in his family was fat. So why was he?
He went in his first class, Math. His favorite subject. When he entered everyone stared, he could feel them judging him already. Because of how he looked. Even the teacher.
Several seconds passed until his math teacher cleared his throat.
"Are you the new student?" The teacher asked rudely. Blushing and nervous, he shyly nodded ignoring the tone of his teacher's voice.
"We'll introduce yourself then find a seat and don't ever show up late again or don't show at all" He heard the teacher said and he shyly nodded again.
He took a deep breath. "H-hello everyone I'm Lexi Bianchi. I'm from Italy" He said in a strong Italian accent as best as he could.
No one welcomed him.
"Okay then find a seat so I can start my lesson" The teacher spoke.
He looked around the class. There were 3 available seats. Two at the front and one at the back. He tried for the first seat.
"It's taken fatty"
Snickers were heard around the class.
He tried for the second one.
"Get lost Humpy Dumpy"
People chuckled even the teacher. Embarrassment took over his features as a he tried the last seat at the back.
The guy that sat there moved up to the front glaring at him.
"Let's continue. . . since someone rudely took up over time"
The lesson continued.
