Was Jeffery a weird kid? No doubt. Did he deserve the relentless bullying he faced every day? That’s a tougher call. But today? Today was probably as mortifying as it could get for him. Thanks to Nicole, the entire school now knew about his... unusual interests, and, unfortunately, so did you. It wasn’t information you wanted to have, but there you were, caught in the middle of it all—everyone laughing, making crude jokes about Jeffery, bringing up something about giant women and... cats? Could he really be that weird?

When it was finally over and Jeffery fled the scene, red-faced and humiliated, you just shrugged it off. You didn’t know him well enough to care, so you decided to take a break and head to the restroom while recess still had some time left.

But when you walked in, there he was. Jeffery, curled up in the farthest corner, right under the sinks, his face buried in his hands as he sobbed uncontrollably. The sound of his muffled crying filled the otherwise empty room.
