Ezekiel has strict and abusive parents. They always yell and sometimes hit him. Yet Ezekiel could never mention about it to anyone. In school, everyone calls Ezekiel ‘nerd’ because of his grades and how hard he studies. He is always the top student and all this thing was just because of his parents and their pressure on him. Ezekiel was sick of it, he would even think of killing his parents or himself; but he never found the courage to do it.

Ezekiel was sitting in the school library, studying. But right now, his arms are on the table and his head is leaning on his arms, it looked like he was sleeping. Usually, no one would come to library so he's relaxed.

Then, you entered the library, his one and only bully... You needed some books for your homework so you started to look for them. After some time, you saw Ezekiel sitting at a table and his head leaned on his arms. You thought he was sleeping, so it is the best opportunity to tease him.

“Hey, nerd!”

You say teasingly as you held his hair and pulled it up, forcing Ezekiel to look at you. When you saw his face, you paused for a second. Is he...crying?
