The teacher gestures towards John, who hiding further into his seat
Ma'am Chel.

John hesitates for a moment before reluctantly standing up and making his way to the front of the class. Whispers and snickers ripple through the room
classmates 1
Look at him, he's probably gonna mess it up like always
Classmates 2
(Laughs) Yeah, You know he's such a loser
John Heinrich reaches the front of the class in rouse room, feeling the weight of everyone's eyes on him.
john Heinrich C.

Ma'am Chel.
That's not what I ask for
Everyone's laughing and Heinrich felt little ashamed
Ma'am Chel.
Alright, John Heinrich . I want you to solve this math problem on the board for the class
The teacher hands Heinrich a chalk marker and points to the equation written on the board. John gulps nervously
john Heinrich C.
(Stuttering) Um, I-I'm not sure if I can
Ma'am Chel.
(Impatiently) Come on, John Heinrich. Stop wasting everyone's time. Just do it
As John begins to write on the board, his hands tremble, and he struggles to solve the problem. The class erupts into laughter
Classmate 3
(Mocking) Look at him, he can't even do simple math
Classmate 4
Maybe he should go back to kindergarten.
{she said sarcastically}
Heinrich face flushes with embarrassment as he quickly tries to finish the problem. Finally, he turns around to face the class, his eyes filled with shame.
A moment of quit, and he speaks.
Ma'am Chel.
I have enough of you chamberlain
john Heinrich C.
I'm sorry Miss Chelsea
The teacher sighs in frustration and dismisses Heinrich, who retreats back to his seat, feeling smaller than ever
The scene fades as the laughter of his classmates echoes in Heinrich ears, leaving him feeling isolated and alone
John Heinrich Chamberlain sits at his desk, diligently working on an assignment that he answered at the blackboard . The classroom is filled with the usual chatter of students
Ma'am Chel.
Look at him, everyone. He's probably struggling again. Can't even keep up with the simplest tasks
Chelsea. Said she pointed at Heinrich
The class erupts in snickers and whispers as Heinrich tries to shrink into his chair
classmates 1
Hey, Chamberlain, why don't you just give up already? You're never going to amount to anything
john Heinrich C.
(Heinrich keep being silent) didn't say a word........
Classmates 2
Yeah, nobody likes a loser
John lowers his head, trying to block out the hurtful words as the teacher continues to berate him
Ma'am Chel.
Maybe if you actually paid attention for once, you wouldn't be such a disappointment
Heinrich hands tremble as he tries to focus on his work, feeling the weight of everyone's eyes on him
Some of them laughed at him and made fun at him
Heinrich didn't answer and stayed her head down
Heinrich just put everything down and look outside up until class ends
In the hall way Chelsea approach him and threatened him
Ma'am Chel.

john Heinrich C.
No ma'am, please don't
Chelsea just laughed and walk away saying.
Ma'am Chel.

john Heinrich C.

Chelsea disappeared in front of Heinrich leaving in a hallway with anger.
Suddenly a girl approached Heinrich when walking through

john Heinrich C.
Yup I'm okay Tammy don't bother
As he said it he just laughs leaving Tammy confuse

Heinrich went to the direction where a library location leaving Tammy looking at his back with a teary eye and having sympathies for his friend knowing how many things happened to him, she still there to comfort him
Heinrich arrives at the library AMD stay for a bit and reading some stuff. And also taking down notes on the lesson that will be to discuss someday
Nagulat si tammy at loading bigla ang kanyang utak, nabigla siha sa sinabi ng kanyang kaibigan
As the final bell rings, Heinrich gathers his belongings and heads out of the Library. He walks with his head down, shoulders slumped, trying to avoid any further confrontation
He then suddenly met his classmates
Classmate 3
Hey, Chamberlain, where do you think you're going? We're not done with you, yet
John Heinrich quickens his pace, hoping to escape the taunts, but his classmates follow closely behind
Classmate 4
Look at him run. What a coward
Heinrich heart pounds in his chest as he reaches the school gates, finally breaking into a run as he makes a dash for home
John Heinrich arrives home, his breaths coming in ragged gasps. He rushes past his parents, not wanting them to see the tears in his eyes went directly to his room and swipe his eye
Mr. Chamberlain (Father)
Is everything alright, son?
Heinrich went back and face his parents and forces a smile, nodding weakly as he retreats to his room again, the weight of the day's events heavy on his shoulders
Mrs. Chamberlain(mother)
(calling after him) Remember, John Heinrich Chamberlain , you're stronger than you think. Don't let anyone bring you down
Alone in his room, Heinrich collapses onto his bed, the echoes of laughter and taunts still ringing in his ears. But amidst the pain, a glimmer of determination flickers in his eyes as he vows to rise above the bullying and prove his worth
In the morning its Saturday, Heinrich woke up and clean his face looking in a mirror and went to kitchen
Heinrich Chamberlain sits at the breakfast table with his parents, Mr., and Mrs. Chamberlain. He looks deep in thought, swirling his spoon absentmindedly in his meal
His two sibling, his sister and his brother just looking at him weird and they didn't talk.
john Heinrich C.
Yesterday was tough... But I won't let it break me.(though to himself)
Mrs. Chamberlain(mother)
Heinrich, is everything alright, dear? You seem a bit distant this morning
john Heinrich C.
Oh, yeah, everything's fine, Mom. Just thinking about some stuff
Mr. Chamberlain (Father)
Well, if there's anything on your mind, you know you can talk to us, son
john Heinrich C.
Thanks, Dad. Actually, I've been thinking about my future... about maybe transferring schools. (forcing to smile)
Mrs. Chamberlain(mother)
Transferring schools? But why, Heinrich? Is something wrong at your current school?
(looks concerned about his son)
john Heinrich C.
(hesitatingly said) Well, it's just... I want to challenge myself more. I want to prove that I can excel, that I'm worth more than what others think
Mr. Chamberlain (Father)
(nodding understandingly)
I see. It's important to believe in yourself, Heinrich. But remember, transferring schools won't solve everything. You'll still face challenges wherever you go.
john Heinrich C.
I know, Dad. But it's not about escaping the challenges...
john Heinrich C.
It's about facing them head-on and growing from them.
john Heinrich C.
And I believe a change of environment might just be what I need to do that.
Mrs. Chamberlain(mother)
(smiling proudly) Well, if that's what you believe is best for you, Heinrich, then we support you fully.
Mrs. Chamberlain(mother)
Thanks, Mom. Thanks, Dad. I'll make you proud, I promise.
john Heinrich C.
No mom, it's not like that i just want to have a nice environment
Heinrich finishes his breakfast with newfound determination, ready to take on whatever comes his way.
After breakfast, Heinrich's phone buzzes with a message from Tammy, a friend from his old school
Tammy

Heinrich looks up from his phone, determination in his eyes.
john Heinrich C.
I may have been bullied in the past, but I won't let it define me. I'll show everyone what I'm capable of.
(Said to himself)
The teacher and the classmates are all rage and hostile for Heinrich, they hate him to bone, they even pumch him witbout reason, they even set him up just to have a merit and awards, they even make him stand up on the fkag pole, and mock by whole student on the academy, this is river institute cruelty the discrimination still stand above
john Heinrich C.

With the support of my teachers, peers, and mentors, I have achieved more than I ever thought possible. And as I look towards the future, I am filled with hope and excitement for what lies ahead.
