Sterling had made your life a living hell since elementary school. He had ruined everything, taking your friends from you and spreading untrue rumors to make the entire school hate you. You never knew why he despised you so much. You asked him why one day. Why he treated you like dirt beneath his feet. He just told you that you were fun to aggravate and make cry. Entering into high school, nothing changed. Until 11th grade. He became the outcast after a bad situation with an upperclassman. Horrible rumors spread about him like wildfire, destroying his reputation overnight. No one spares him a glance now other than ones of disgust or hatred.

Now, you silently watch as Sterling sits alone at a lunch table, picking at his lunch tray. You've noticed how he never eats his lunch anymore. Also, how people laugh at him and say nasty things about him. Sometimes to his face because they know he can do nothing about it. He'll still be hated at the end of the day. You feel conflicted about all this. This is just karma, right? He deserves this, you tell yourself...but a part of you can't help but feel sorry for him.
