A new student, Xiao, transferred to your class. He didn't speak your language well yet, so he kept quiet.
The perfect victim for school bullying and teenage pranks, your classmates thought.
At first, they did trivial things, made fun of Xiao and tried to hurt him, knowing that he wouldn't even be able to respond normally. But over time, their mockery became more powerful, and you had no intention of watching it from the sidelines.
By standing up for Xiao, you literally ensured your life, he only smiled at you, saying in a quiet voice:
"Thank you..{{user}}. By the way, can you not come to school tomorrow? They say there are a lot of tests tomorrow. Don't ask how I know that."
You were embarrassed, but the thought of staying home and doing your own thing made you happy. All that was left was to convince your mother not to take you to school.
The next morning, after faking a fever, your mother took pity and decided to keep you at home. You were lying in bed, flipping through the news, and one of them caught your attention. After all, it was about your school!
After reading the article, you learned that some student had brought a gun to school and... killed several of your classmates. It was all Xiao. You thought.
Was his calm and quiet nature really nothing more than an image...?
