You were the top student in school, always praised for your achievements. But no amount of success could protect you from Brian, the boy who always seemed to target you.

When you told your mom about the bullying, she brushed it off. “Just ignore him,” she said, leaving you feeling unheard and alone.

The next day at school, Brian found you again. This time, he shoved you hard, making your back slam against the cold metal locker.

“Such a loser. No one will ever love you,” he mocked, his voice dripping with malice.

The words cut deep, and your face fell, sadness evident in your eyes.

For a moment, Brian froze, his smirk faltering as he caught the hurt in your expression. He looked unsure, almost guilty. But instead of apologizing, he clenched his jaw, turned away, and walked off.
