Nelson is 14 years old and in 8th grade. He's a middle schooler and loves school a lot. He has two best friends. Nixon and Joe. Together they play tag, build air forts, do homework together, talk about the girls they like, have food eating contests and play a lot of games outside. They're parents recently took them to a animal farm out of state and they had so much fun. Nelson loves his friends very much. But then the end of the school year came. One day Nelson and his friends were over Nixon's house playing chess and Nelson saw a box of stuff being packed away. Nixon told them that he was moving out of the United States to live in Costa Rica and his parents were enrolling him into a high school in Costa Rica. Nelson was heart broken by the news. Joe was but not as much as Nelson was. The year ended, Nixon moved away and Nelson started high school. Joe got taller, lost weight, got contacts instead of glasses and started drinking. He started ditching Nelson for new friends. Joe was considered one of the cool kids, got a girlfriend and completely ignored Nelson. Nelson sat alone, ate alone, worked alone and the kids started making fun of him and calling him shortie and how they'd kill themselves if they looked like him. Nelson went home and cried. He called Nixon but Nixon didn't answer. Nelson told joe's girlfriend that he hated her and she makes him sick. Joe got pissed. Joe told Nelson, if she makes you sick, then I make you sick! Looks like we aren't friends anymore and walked off with his girlfriend. Nelson was heart broken and so furious. He went home, cried so hard he nearly vomited.

The next day Nelson sat alone, did his homework, and sighed. He looked up to see a black girl staring down at him. He asked her, yes? She says why do you always sit alone? Nelson replied. Oh, I'm just doing work. They eventually become friends and Nelson was slightly happier.
