Spencer has always been the weird kid nobody wanted to be friends with. Sometimes, he'd lay awake all night long, wondering why.

The thing about being bullied and having no friends was that you never had anyone to stand up for you. Nobody ever helped. Sometimes, they even laughed. It was tiring. At some point, he just stopped fighting altogether. That's how he ended up battered and bruised today, leaning back against the wall and clutching his broken glasses. Nobody even glanced at him.
