Making Fun of Me

.....:::::DENZEL POV:::::.....

I was bored sitting on my chair while listening to conversations. Then I heard....

"Hey, that cousin of mine, he's weird." Joel whispered to his friends.

"No way? Really? Oh guess what? I thought he was a girl at first." One said.

Of that, I slapped my forehead silently and controlled myself from crying.

"He has so many sketch pads and he wouldn't even show me any of his drawings."

"Maybe he draws.... you know." They started laughing.

"Hey, why don't we invite him to play basketball with us at recess?"

"Nah. He wouldn't say yes anyway. He just wants to draw and make his butt fatter."

I didn't want to cry, but a tear already came out of my eye. I quickly wiped it off and looked at the window.

"Time to leave the classroom. Let's all go down to the gym." said Ms. Andrews.

Everyone went to the gym and some started playing games of basketball and volleyball.

"Don't you want to join them?" Ms. Andrews asked.

"Not right now," I answered and sat on the stage.

"Alright then." When she left, I saw Neil coming inside the gym.

I then smiled and when I jumped off the stage, he was already talking to Joel. "I guess he wants to play." I sat back up on the stage and watched the basketball game.

"Hey guys!" Agatha suddenly came running inside the gym to her friends.

"Let's play badminton," her friend suggested.

"Let's play doubles. But wait.. there's only three of us."

Agatha and her two friends started looking around. Then...

"Denzel! Come play with us!" Agatha called.

Although I wanted to play, I shook my head and looked away from them. Also.. I felt that Agatha frowned.

......::::AGATHA POV::::.......

I was sad the Denzel didn't want to play. But... I still have to play with Shiela and Grace. I then told the two that I'd be my own team.

After a few serves and so, it was Shiela's turn again to serve. When she did...

"YOU WANT TO DIE?!" Neil yelled with his face right in front of Joel's.

"Neil!" Ms. Andrews quickly pulled Neil's arm and brought him to the principal's office.

"Whoa," Grace said and chuckled.

"He really scares me now," Shiela said and pouted.

"Tsk. That boy." I furrowed my eyebrows and put the rockets back inside the equipment room.

"Hey Agatha, you don't seem to be scared by him at all." said Shiela.

"Yeah. And it kinda looks like you know him." Grace added.

"I don't totally know him. I just met him the other day when I left the mall," I explained and smiled at the two. "Let's just go back to the classroom."

"But it's locked."

I blinked and laughed. "Oh yeah. It is."

.....::::NEIL POV:::....

I was sitting on a chair while getting lectured inside the principal's office. Tch. I didn't even listen to anything Ms. Andrews said. I was pretending though. After the lecture, we went back to the classroom with the other students.

I sat on my chair and felt a paper tacked under my desk. I pulled it out and it read, "How is it like inside the principal's office?"

I got angry and tore the paper in pieces. Then I threw it in the nearby garbage.

Ms. Andrews started the class.

-----

~* RIIINNGG! - The bell rang which meant classes were to be dismissed, so Ms. Andrews dismissed us.

I walked outside the school and felt that someone was following me. I turned around and saw that everyone was going their own ways. Then I spotted a guy telling others to hide him. "Show him!" I shouted.

It was the guy from our class. The one who looked like a girl in my perspective. He walked towards me with a frown.

"Tch. What do you want?" I asked.

"I'm Denzel," he grabbed my hand and shook it.

I quickly pulled my hand and started walking away from him. But he just followed and made me irritated. I stopped and said angrily,"Will you stop and go home?"

"But this is the street where I'm suppose to go," He explained with a grin and walked ahead of me.

->_<#!! Dayum you kid.

When I started walking behind him, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw Agatha glaring at me. I turned back and made a fist in front of my face.
