And for some reason, this makes me a target for those assholes who feel small inside.
At least that's what my mom says.
We've been learning about the survival of the fittest in science class, and I just think it's nature acting itself out.
I mean, look at the animals in the wild, and then look at students in a high school.
It's not that different.
Some guys lock onto the person who's different, or shorter, or smarter, whatever, and take bites out of the week to remind them who's at the top of the feeding chain.
This year has been bad, though.
A guy named Garrett Howard has made it his personal mission to break me down.
Mostly, I just ignore him, but lately, that's only made things worse.
Maybe he doesn't just feel small inside.
Maybe he feels invisible, too.
A couple days ago, he caught me outside during lunch and started yelling at me, calling me every name he could think of.
I kept walking, so he pushed me down and punched me twice hard right in the face.
My cheek is still sore.
Garrett got suspended for it, but I'm pretty sure it was worth it for him.
The feeding chain remains intact, and everyone fears the animal with the sharpest teeth.
I touch the still bruised flesh around my eye.
It's not that bad anymore.
Mom glances over at me and smiles.
Two years ago, Mom put me in a 7th grade class because of my size.
