PART 1: The Girl Everyone Mocked
Ryan Cole belonged to the second group.
Popular.
Funny.
Always surrounded by friends.
He had spent weeks making jokes whenever Lina answered a question in class.
Most students laughed.
Lina ignored him.
Until that afternoon.
Ryan walked up behind her while dozens of students stood nearby.
He leaned close enough for everyone to hear.
"Your accent is hilarious."
Several students laughed.
Lina froze for only a second.
She continued placing food onto her tray.
Ryan smiled wider.
He wasn't finished.
He tapped her shoulder with a smug grin.
"Speak properly."
The cafeteria grew quieter.
Lina slowly placed the serving tongs onto the counter.
Then she turned around.
Their eyes met.
For the first time...

Ryan realized she wasn't embarrassed.
She was simply done.
