Under a Grey pale looking sky, the sun was dim and the weather was exceptionally harsh.
It was Raining.
With all the kids in the school sheltered in their classrooms filled and tight.
All could hear the whistles of the wind.
In one of the class rooms, G10.
EVERYONE was chatting having a good laugh with the exception of one kid, sitting in the last bench with arched back wearing a hoodie sitting in absolute silence.
Thinking in his mind… why am I not chilling and laughing like these other kids?
Why am I left alone? Is it…
Before he completes his line of thought was cut by his bully.
Grabbing him from the hoodie and slamming his head into the desk.
BOOM!
Suddenly the whole class stopped murmuring!
"Ay Jess, why not go shower in the rain a little?"
Yes, Jessy was a stinky smelling guy, he lost his family in a plane crash since he was a child.
As a result, he had to work his ass off day and night at different jobs to put his little sister to school.
He didn't afford to go to a good school either but even this school was not government school rather a private owned one. So kids were usually from middle class families.
He didn't want to join school, but his grandfather insisted on him completing his education.
Back in G10, Thomas the bully as the grandson of the owner of this school, he was never punished nor warned for his actions.
He was rather praised by every teacher hoping to get a raise. Everyone in our class wanted to be friends with him, he was their winning card.
Teachers used to tell him the ins and outs of each quiz even the finals, who would let such an opportunity pass by?
The situation was bad for Jessy. No friends to help him nor a family to back him up, added to that Julian was usually sleeping in class which made Roger to give him the nick name SJ.
Smelly Jerk.
Jessy stood up. With arched back and red eyes wishing to sleep!
His goals in life were simple.
1 rent a better apartment with a bigger cozy bed, and secondly pass this year and finally find a partner…. Or a friend at least.
He didn't want to end up being alone, he hated it.
Passing this year was a great obstacle.
It wasn't because he's not smart, it was rather due to him not able to get a good night sleep, Afterall he only slept for a few hours between shifts.
Juggling school and working in a fish market and a waiter in a restaurant.
Standing up, Jessy immediately noticed how all of the girls in this class staring at him with hate putting their hands on their nose!
Not a single girl wanted to talk with him.
He was an awkward smelly coward, who would even look at that guy?
Thomas being a bulky muscular guy, pushed him over the desks making Jessy fall in a way that almost looked straight out of a comedy show.
Everyone laughed.
'Another day in my sh*t life…'
Jessy wasn't stupid tho.
His years of experience in dealing with people and selling things were good, he was good at sales!
He looks like an introvert when in fact people avoid him, so he never really talks.
Jessy tried to talk his way out of going outside in the rain.
Thomas looked convinced, he even turned his gaze away from him.
But in a sudden moment he moved his hand in an incredible speed slapping Jessie's face.
SLAP!
"You think you are smooth ha?" Thomas said while burning a cigarette.
'A cigarette in a school??? But I guess it's normal for an entitled kid like him'
thought Jessy while rolling his eyes.
TING !!
The school's alarm rang signalling end of the school day.
knock, knock. Opening the classrooms door a man with his cloths wet entered… it was Mr. Zein the math teacher he had a brown skin color with a shirt and blue jeans.
He held the door open and without a single word everyone left the classroom.
The rain didn't stop.
The sky remained grey.
"Jessy" said the math teacher.
"Jina was just transported to the hospital. Sorry for not letting you know earlier, but….. I know you wouldn't want them to know anything about her"
Jessy felt like his world chattered his eyes once sleepy turned wide open.
"Where's she?"
Mr Zain immediately sent him the location.
Jessy sprinted out of his school not caring about the rain… but something unexpected happened.
A basket ball was thrown at him from the side, Jessy dodged it but lost his stability and slide over the stairs.
Falling on the ground he felt his heart pounding, finding difficulty to breath.
"Hahahahahaaha, smelly loser, you really deserve such a name"
Thomas said while patting Roger's shoulder as if complementing him.
Jessy filed by anger stood up and threw the ball at Thomas.
Unfortunately for Jessy he was a basketball player, so with a swift motion Thomas grabbed the ball and smiled at Jessy.
Jessy immediately started sprinting again not looking back.
He was so broke to even get a taxi so he took the whole way to the hospital running with his worn out shoes.
Thankfully the hospital wasn't that far away from the school.
A few minutes later he got to the hospital… everyone noticed his entrance.
Duh!
With that smell of his, it was hard not to unnoticed.
Someone escorted him to Jina's room.
"Sis, you goo…?" Jessy said with his mouth open for a few seconds.
"Smelly?! What brings you here?"
