I tried my best not to care, but on certain days, like today, I would let their words get to me, either stirring anger or making me feel like shit.

I was just starting to enjoy high school again but now it might turn into a nightmare.

"I think you're right, Kyle, but I'm still not fully convinced. I'm gonna think about it today and we'll decide what to do tomorrow." I looked at Chris and he nodded.

"What do I say if someone asks me?" Kyle asked.
