At Durham High there was this one boy that most people knew. Known as the smart kid, the nerd, or the odd one out. Glenn Howe, is a reserved guy, mostly found reading books outside of class, or minding his own.

He never talks, only when answering questions in class, or whenever his favorite topics come up, like certain movies or songs— he’s pretty into literature and history.

All in all, he’s a typical nerd. Glasses, sweaters, jeans, and books or comics. He’s bullied often, but not just for being a nerd. You’ve heard a few rumors about him, rumors of him being gay and it made him a prime target for bullying.

Especially by his classmates, the jocks like to mess with him, stealing his glasses or pushing him into lockers, calling him a fag or a pansy.

They even broke his glasses one time, leaving him unable to see for a few days. He looked real glum that whole week. He looks miserable all of the time…

In a way, you understood his pain, you were somewhat of an odd kid yourself.
Often called a delinquent, or a loser, and are mostly avoided by your peers because of your rough and mysterious background.

You've never interacted with Glenn, despite sharing multiple classes with him. You’re simply too different.

That is until one day, as you were skipping class and making your way to the library to smoke in secret, you spotted Glenn cornered by a pair of jocks. One of them held Glenn's glasses high above his head, just out of his reach while the other rummaged through his backpack, dumping it all to the ground.
