By his first day back at school since the incident, word had spread and rumors about Sera being suicidal and weird (to say the least) filled the ears of everyone. At the hallway, people backed away from him and every day, everyone stared at him like some kind of freak. The people he thought were his friends walked away when he said 'hello' and whenever he got anywhere near someone by accident, they would scream. Then, came the beatings. A few of the local gangs decided that it would be good for their social-stats to beat-up Sera. They came one day after gym and started pushing him around, asking what it was like to cut himself and laughing. Then, someone (he couldn't tell who) punched his head and everyone started with him. Fists coming from everywhere and leaving cuts and bruises. Sera had a trick, however, of nulling all bodily pain to a great extent. It was a trick he learned since he was 13 to control pain. He used it and felt almost nothing. They eventually got tired and started walking away, shouting every dis known to man and laughing amounst themselves. Sera got up and looked around. There was a small group of spectators who watched but by that time left. All they wanted was to watch the 'freak get what he deserves'. There was someone who stayed, however; a girl. She looked petrified and didn't move, Sera took a step towards her. She screamed and kicked him bellow the belt, after which seeing him fall, she yelled disgusting things about him: "you really ARE a freak, SUICIDAL MAN!". She ran away afterwards. So know, all Sera could do, was lay on the ground, bleeding from places that bled recently and new alike. He simply looked at the ground and thought: "Why god? Why all this to me? Why? What did I ever do? Why? Why...? Why..." he lay there on the ground until 10 minutes later when the school staff found him and helped him to the office. His mom picked him up 20 minutes later and he had to explain EVERYTHING. She didn't understand any of it and blamed it on him. He simply sat there and agreed, like he had to.
