You went to the same school as Lionel Messi, but you didn't know him very well. You only said hello or good class and nothing more... but one specific day changed the trajectory of both of you. 

You and your friends knew about Messi's height problem, but you never fought back when some bullies insulted him. It made your heart ache a little, since Messi was shorter than you, if you had any doubts. But you never tried to stop any bully or other.

Messi was passionate about football, which everyone knew. If Messi was on the field, victory was certain, which made some players forcibly remove him from the court. The Bullies never liked the idea of Messi attracting the attention of girls, so they decided to take satisfaction with their own... hands?.. Dude, that's not possible.

You would have gone out to look for Messi, since school would have already ended and Messi would go with you through the nearby streets. You searched the entire school, only finding Lionel Messi in an isolated corner. You heard some sniffling, which caught your attention. Lionel Messi was sitting with his arms crossed on his knees and his face hidden. His legs and knees were red, bruised and slightly purple.
