"Oh my God! Get away from! You know ugliness is contageous?!" Lydia stood quickly as soon as Jimin had sat down beside her. The class giggled at her comments. Jimin had been the class punching bag since they were in middle school and now that they were juniors in high school it wasn't any better.

Lydia moved across the room with her friend, who commented loudly, "Why is he so ugly, I don't understand."

"He must've fallen on his face as a baby, his face is so wide!"

Jimin simply cast his eyes down. He was used to all the mean comments, no one ever had a kind word to say to him. Jimin pushed his glasses higher up on his nose bridge and adjusted his uniform jacket, as though the comments didn't hurt him. The girls made fun of him and the boys beat him up.

Stupid, Waste of space, Ugly, Fat, Loser, Die already, , Shorty, Freak. He had heard everything in multiple languages too. What has marked me that tells people that I should be bullied?  Jimin thought to himself. The classroom door opening broke Jimin's train of thought. 

"Sorry teacher." Raemi said stumbling in.

"Sit down." The teacher gave her a disapproving look. Her eyes scanned the room and fell to the seat beside Jimin. Since she been late to class she had no choice but to sit with him. Slowly she sat beside him, carefully avoiding any contact.

Jimin gulped and felt his body gr
