I would like to start off by telling a story which happened to me. it is just any other ordinary tale of T.A.D (Tension And Distress) as what my 'friend' called me along with others when thay knew that I was hurt by what they said, only making matters worse. Anyway, without further delays, here it is:

When I was 13, I had this friend 'X' (not his real name of course) who sarted talking to me after seeing that both of us liked cars. We atarted to turn into really good friends and in the end, I stated that he was my best friend (I am a boy too by the way). The next year, when i was 14, both of us befriended this guy 'Y' and this guy 'X'. As time progressed on, they sarted ganging up againest me and calling me dugong, and one-balled freak (a rumour circulating around that I had only one testicle) and so on.

When I was 15, I went on a church mission trip to some Saint John operated home for shunned children. That evening, I attended a drama in my school with 'X'. There, there was a play about love at first sight set on a scene with a boy and girl being attracted to each other on a short Subway trip. However, they just glance at each other and wxit at different stations. In the end, we hear them saying (in their thoughts) to each other how nice the other person is. I know that i strayed out of the topic there but there is a reason for that.
There was an intermission and 'X' and I were talking about the previous two dramas and we entered the topic of 'love at first sight'. It was an interesting topic and it is I think, human tendancy to talk about secret and personal stuff when the lights are dim.

That was when he told me about a girl that he liked and was going to get a picture of her from her friend. I thought he was joking at first but saw through his grin that he was a bit shy sharing that. I thought immediately about telling him about this girl that I met at the home and told him that I didn't have a single word with her, much like the drama. This my friends, happened to be the greatest mistake that I have ever made.

You see, a few days later, on the same week, he repeated what he did last year, like a cold-blooded serial killer who just got out of jail by tring to act as if he was nice. Only thing is that the warden hear was me. He joined with 'Z' ('Y' had shunned of both me and 'X' because we did not agree with his idea for a project work) in verbally and this time, I'm not sure how, mentally assaulting me. This time round, with words such as 'Dog','Frog','Dumbas*'
