Sam and his twin brother Stephen go to different schools as Stephen was already a grade ahead of him was already attending middle school.

During his fifth grade year in elementary school, Sam did not talked to most of his classmates. He had trouble dealing with how they acted toward him and what they said. Sometimes they would call him insulting names and make cruel jokes at him. Since he was smaller than most than most of them, standing at five two and weighing around ninety pounds, this also made him even more of a target. Almost on a daily basis, it was precisely Kirk, Trey, Trenton and Diana. Those two were not nessacery mean, but sometimes it would switch back and forth with them.

Diana would be considered the worst out of all them. Aside from joking with them, she would come at Samuel every time, more than them. One time, she had token his New York Mets baseball cap while he was doing his work. When he went to the coat rack and realized that it was missing, she then said to him.

"Look what I have," She said holding hat as the whole class were walking down the steps. She then briefly waved it in the air and tossed it to him only for it to fall by another desk. He knew she did took it because he kept it on top of his dark blue coat the whole day. One time, she and another classmate were tossing it to each other. Sam ked them to give it back, but they refused until they thought they heard someone coming in the classroom. Another time, after he was yelled at by a fellow teacher for he did not do, Diana went up to him as he was crying. She had made fun of him even more while he was sitting in his desk and heard more laughing from some of the students.

"Would you leave me alone?" He shouted back at her to stop. Eventually they did sit in their seats when their teacher, Ms. Henderson came back to the room after talking to another teacher from across the room. They had her as their teacher since the beginning of the school year. When she came back, everyone just went pretended like not had happened and did their work. He was sitting at his desk with his head on top of his folded arms waiting for class to over. Kirk in one occasion would take pieces of paper, crumbled them and threw them at Samuel with his back. He used the paper from his notebook and wasted them just to throw them at someone he didn't know. This was all because he wanted to join in and he didn't like anyone who was different. Trey was much taller and bigger but Sam was a few months older. That did not matter to him as he tried to convince him to beat up his best friend and fellow classmate, Matthew. This was because Trey did not like Matthew and found him and Sam annoying. Samuel did not want to fight him given the fact that Samuel had no reason to since he gotten along with Matthew. Trenton thought he could make him scared, flinching at him everyday.

He goes home every single day very mad and he was doing homework sitting at the kitchen table. His mother walked in and saw him struggling with the work.

"What's wrong?" She asked he while he was trying to get the work done. Then he did told her about what happened with me and the classmates. told her how much going to school everyday. She suggested that if she should talk to one of the teachers. However things were no better for Stephen either.
