4. • Why are they
abandoning
me?
• By the time
I’m done
thinking I’m
all alone,
and late for
class.
• Am I
becoming an
outsider?
• Why wasn't I
invited to go
with them?
As I got closer
and closer, my
palms started
to sweat
I racked my
brain thinking of
what to say,
everything
either sounded
dorky or
professional
I keep quiet.
Rocking from
foot to foot I
listen to a
synopsis of a
movie they all
saw without
me

5. Me Farza
“We’re going to a movie
tomorrow with John, and
then going to my house to
eat dinner and sleep-
over.”
“So, what are you guys
doing, now that there’s
only the three of you left in
the group?”

6. That greedy lying scum, that
dastardly, that devilish, that
dangerously cool poser…
John.
That one person in my life
that I just wanted to
mysteriously evaporate
away… John.
That one person that when
at school, all he would do,
was show off what he knew
to the people around him…
John
That one person that had
some friends, but I didn’t
know one of them would be
Farza.

The Incident

10. This would
hopefully stop
this
catastrophe,
and I would
have a clear
conscious.
I would never
be able to
hang with the
popular kids
anymore.
Intervene and Stop this Mess.

11. Join In and Go Along With It
I would be an
official member
of the group and
be recognized
by all of the
popular kids.
These terrible
actions will
continue and in
my heart I will
know just how
cruel I am.

12. I walk away

13. While I caught my last
glimpse of the devastating
actions I also saw Stephan,
the person who
coordinated this entire
event, who spotted me
leaving.
He scowled at me, his
eyebrows coming to a slant,
and his mouth forming a
fine straight line.
He motioned for me to
come and join him, holding
down Mason so he wouldn’t
get up and run.

14. I KnewThisWas My Final Chance
Instead of looking at
Stephan, the one person
who went out of his way to
make all of the other
popular kids like me, the
one person I looked up to for
all of my life at this school, I
put my eyes down, and
dragged my dead feet out of
that gym before I could get
in any trouble.
Today, I just couldn’t bring
myself to do something that
gruesome.
On any other day of the
week, I would have gone over
there and have been
laughing right by their side.

15. Since the incident,
everyone has rejected
me, and I have become a
loner, with nobody to
hang out with and
nobody to go to.
I thought of going back to
Farza, but I knew that he
was just going to reject
me, and I would become
even more depressed than
I already was.
So I waited. I didn’t wait for
anything in particular, just for
something good to come my
way. I knew I had nothing now,
and that no matter what I did,
the situation would just get
worse.

16. So I waited…
