"what the hell?" he whispered as he picked up his phone. it was almost at the edge of his locker waiting to fall off. "Who is blowing up my phone?" Marco asked. He checked his phone, there was a link in his inbox. he ignored the other messages from his classmates and clicked on the link. The link led him to a video that was posted on a site.Marco's eyes widened as he saw the video, he was shocked to see a video of himself being humiliated circulating on the public school site. The comments under it weren't nice at all, nobody could see that he was being bullied and joined to mock him. Marco drew in a sharp breath and felt his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. He watched the video in horror, as his classmates laughed and made fun o

Marco sat down with his food in the cafeteria, for once he was glad he was sitting alone and he had no friends. The whole place was noisy and he could hear his thoughts for a second, he wondered if others could hear them too. The salad on his plate looked so dissatisfying and it made Marco tired a bit. He bent his head to mind his business and eat his food. Try to eat his food, but nobody should be eating this shit. it tasted awful and it made Marco want to puke.But for once, he appreciated the silence and peace that came with eating alone. Everybody was avoiding him"Well, well, well. look who it is." A voice drawled out. "it's the birthday boy." a clap followed suit.

"I am talking to you." Ma

He wanted to be under his shower with just him and his simple thoughts. he wanted to be at peace with himself and far away from the toxic energy around him. As he sat there lost in his thoughts, he heard someone approach him. He looked up to see his classmate, Chris, standing in front of him. Marco closed his eyes, Chris was a well-known troublemaker in school and the last thing he needed was for him to pay any attention to him. "Hey, Marco," Chris said, a smirk on his face.

Marco decided to walk home instead of taking the bus since his house was only a few blocks away. That way he could think properly, the walk would do a lot of good for him. He had gotten about halfway home when he heard the sound of a car engine revving up behind him. He turned around to see a car coming up fast, the sound of the engine echoing off the buildings around them. It was Chris and Tyler. Marco sighed to himself, here he thought he has had enough of them for one day. As the car pulled up beside him, Marco felt his heart start to race. He knew he was in trouble. "Hey, Marco, what's up?" Tyler called out from the passenger seat, a wicked grin on his face. Marco tried to keep walkin

Marco stepped into the house, he could hear the music blasting and the chatter of people. He was greeted by a lot of unfamiliar faces who nodded at him and welcomed him to the party. He nodded back at them returning their greeting but his mind was alive with so many questions. Who were these people? He didn't remember any of them, but at a closer look, Marco discovered that these people were not from their school. it's no wonder they were welcoming to him. He used his eyes to search for Raina but the birthday girl was nowhere to be found. He stood in the corner waiting for her. He could just drop the gift and go back to his house. The group standing in the corner suddenly cheered startling Marco, he glanced at them unsure of what they were doing but they seemed to be having fun so he relaxed a bit.
