Mai Lin wasn’t doing well enough at school, or at least she wasn’t satisfied with herself. She wished she could do better.

“Let’s review the material we learned in the last unit,” the history teacher said. “Who can tell us what caused the War of 1812?” Mai Lin sat at her desk, staring ahead. She hoped the teacher wouldn’t call her name. They hadn’t studied the War of 1812 at her old school and she didn’t know the answer.

“Alison?” the teacher asked instead. Oh, perfect, Mai Lin thought. Of course Alison would have the answer. She seemed to have all the answers. Alison was the most popular girl in school – always surrounded by millions of boyfriends, best friends, and others. She was like a brilliant sun.

Mai Lin hadn’t made one or two friends of her own so far. Her old school was small and low-key, but a shy person like Mai Lin had a chance there. This new school, however, seemed as big as an airport to Mai Lin, and it seemed very hard to get around in it. She still got lost sometimes in the school.

Mai Lin frowned (皱眉) as Alison answered the teacher’s question. Alison probably never got lost, Mai Lin thought to herself. You could probably put Alison down in the middle of a desert, and within five minutes she’d be able to tell you the best way to get home.

History class finally ended, and Mai Lin headed for the gym. The class had been playing basketball. Alison, who was as tall and thin and attractive as a tree, was very good at it. Beside her, Mai Lin felt like a very small and foolish ant. Today, however, the gym teacher pointed to a thick rope hanging from the ceiling and said, “Everybody! You’re going to climb this rope today.”

Mai Lin stepped forward and got close to the rope.

When I was 10, I was always made fun of by my fellow Co-Curricular Activities(CCA) mates, including John. Words like, “Dick is the best player in the CCA! He only knows how to play ’Mary had a Little Lamb’ on the trumpet!” John’s fellows sang along, laughing at me.

“Don’t worry, Dick! I know you will be the best musician around and maybe perform 10 times in a year!” Tom encouraged me. “Thanks for the encouragement even though John is a better player since he has started playing the trumpet since primary school. Meanwhile, I just started, I replied with determination in my eyes to beat John.” Tom, seeing this, decided to give me more support.

After a long day of practice, the band was dismissed. I would have asked Tom to follow me back home but I was in a rush, so I left him. The moment I left the school, I took out my earpiece, listening to recordings like a broken recorder. I got so lost at the point that I did not sec the wall in front and fell on the ground with a loud hit. Luckily for me, a passer-by saw what had happened and immediately called the ambulance while stopping the blood.

“Ugh, where am I?” When I came to myself, I saw my parents and classmates. The passer-by must have informed my school or called using my phone! He then came up and explained to me what had happened. This made me embarrassed.

I could not even show my face to my parents! I wished the ground would swallow me whole, but that did not stop me from trying to be the best player. The nurse told me that I couldn’t practise as my body needed time to heal and that would take up a lot of energy. “I want to be the best. One leg injury would not stop me; it would only make me feel more motivated, I replied to the nurse.” When the nurse heard my words, she brought in the trumpet that I had wanted to practice with.

However, at school the next day, Jackson’s friends had a different attitude to his hairstyle. Some of his classmates teased and bullied him about his shaved head. One student call him “baldy” and another said “you look like having a cancer” At first, Jackson felt enraged at the comments, but his anger turned to sadness later on.

When Jackson got home from school, without saying anything, he locked himself in his room. His mother knocked at the door, asking what had happened. The door finally opened. Out he came. With disappointment on his face, he murmured, “My classmates made fun of my haircut. Nobody in this world could know my sorrow.” After saying these, he buried his face in his mother’s chest and burst out crying. The mother, too, felt angry and disappointed with the kids at school.
