"Dazz, get ready for new one" I told myself while packing my school bag leaving a big sigh. This the third time in a year I have changed my school due to my mom's work. This is not the first time happening. Since my parents got divorce, mom had to do various jobs in various places to support for our living. It was not easy. Everytime I was bullied for my chubby face in every school I went. I had no option but just to endure it. There was noone to listen to me. Even mom did not had time for me. Everytime I wanted to speak to her,she made her work as excuse and leave. Gradually we spoke less and argued more.

I locked the door behind meband started to walk towards school through lanes. Even though I was new to the place, I remember the routes last time mom and I had gone dor paperworks.

Reaching school I took a deep breath and entered the gate. As it was first day to me I was introduced to the class. It seemed like nobody cares about it. Teacher told me to take a seat. Scanning through the class, I saw a seat empty near the window in the corner.

Finally, bell rang for the class dismissal for the day. I headed straight to home. This became my daily routine. There was noone who would approach me as a friend. But, sometimes I hear people making fun of me at my back. I ignored it.

I became familar with the places around the school and also around my colony. I found a peaceful place back of the school. I could be there for a while to relax myself before going home.

Many days passed and I thought everything was going well. But, the real thing was yet to begin. One day when I reached the class, I saw my desk filled with garbages,sketches and comment about me being pig written on it.

"Again it started" I told myself holding back my fear. Before getting settled I carefully cleaned my desk without telling a word, when suddenly water splashed on my face and it soaked my uniform.

"This is not happening again,right?"
There were thoughts of fear running in mind. My body became numb. I could hear laughter around me. Atlast I broke down and ran out.

Tears dropping, blurry vision ahead, I ran till I reach the place at the back of the school. Sensing nobody would be passing by I sat down under a tree and started crying loudly.

After sometimes while calming myself I heard a voice above me.
"Noona, are you done?"
Being surprised by the voice I see a tall figure standing by my side.
