I heard some ladies gossiping. Kisa would never tell anyone. Rumors start you know? At first, it was just the way she looked. Like her hair and eyes...it made everyone feel weird, they said. But you know...they said that Kisa tired really hard. She told them she couldn't do anything about her hair and eye color. And then...everyone started to ignore her. Then...even though they were ignoring her...whenever Kisa said anything, they'd laugh. She wasn't trying to be funny, but they'd just start giggling. You know...I've never had that happen to me in class. All I can do is imagine, so that's what I did...wondering how I'd fell if everyone started giggling at me everytime I said something. It...it was a very...sad feeling. If everyting you said...gets laughed at...then you become afraid of everyone...and are no longer able to speak...even knowing that all that does is bother everyone. Everthing looks completely dark. Your heart...shuts down. And your words die.
