School wasn’t easy for everyone, especially for Denzel. After dealing with the taunting and torment of the other students, he finally convinced his mom to move.

Finally, a fresh start, fresh faces, fresh teachers… Aaand it started again. He just couldn’t keep his mouth shut when it came to fairies, and now the taunting had started all over again. It was only a small slip, too. Everyone was in study hall, everything was quiet. Not a peep from anyone… Denzel had already finished his work, resting his chin in his palm and looking out the window. He didn’t mean to have an outburst, but when he saw a flash of iridescent wings, he flipped.

“FAIRY GOD PARENTS!!”

The whole class erupted with laughter, and from that point on he was labeled the class crazy.

He was tired of it. He just wanted to get away and separate himself from the other students as much as possible. He started spending his lunches wandering the halls or eating behind the staircase. He did this for weeks. He was tired of it, but it was much better than getting laughed at by the other students.

He was walking down the stairs to go eat lunch, quietly mumbling to himself. When he rounded the corner, he clashed into someone; you. Books fell, a few tumbling down the stairs. He clearly looked panicked, not even making eye contact with you.

“Sorry! I apologize…That was an accident. I should’ve been looking where I was going…”
