Jordy's POV
The school bell sounded, signaling it was time to go home. I went to my locker to get the books I needed for the evening. I gave a slight smile as I looked inside. Pictures and drawings covered the locker walls. Three chipmunk faces looked back at me from them, probably the most famous chipmunks ever created.
''Hi guys'' I said. There was no answer, as usual. I sighed and grabbed my books, coat, and scarf before I shut the locker door. I began to walk down the school hallway towards the exit.
All around me I heard snickering and whispers. I couldnt hear what was being said, but I knew they were talking about me. I was made fun of because of my love for The Chipmunks. I had no real friends. I did my best to ignore what was being said, but, as everyone who has been picked on knows, it can be hard. One voice stood out from the restand it was getting closer.
''Hey Jordy'' the voice said. I could hear laughter coming up behind the person who spoke.
''Leave me alone, Julia'' I said. Obviously, they ignored what I said, because they kept on speaking.
''When are you gonna give up this chipmunk mess?''
''Im not''
''Oh really?''
''Yep''
''Why not?''
''Because I dont have to. Its something I enjoy, so why should I give it up?'' I turned around and looked at Julia and her friends. She had an evil smirk on her face. She was planning something, but what, I wasnt so sure about.
''Because, everyone thinks you're weird''
''Yeah, I know that. Like that's ever gonna change''
''Wow, you're actually right! That WONT ever change!'' Everyone in the hallway burst into laughter. I rolled my eyes out of annoyance, turned around, and continued walking.
All of a sudden, one of Julias friends put her foot out in front of me, causing me to trip, and sending my books and papers flying. The laughter coming from the other students got louder. I quickly scrambled to gather my books. But as I stood up, I lost my grip and dropped them again.
''Exactly'' Julia said. She and her friends continued laughing and walked away.
I grabbed my books and papers tight in my grip and stood up. Everyone was still laughing at me. I knew tears were coming on, because my eyes began to water. I quickly ran down the hallway and out of the building. I didnt stop until the school was out of sight. Even then, I ran to hide behind a tree. I tried to fight back the tears, but, even though I can usually control myself, lost it at that moment. I took off my glasses and threw them to the ground. I then crouched down and buried my face in my knees as I cried.
