"See. He agree's. My father says that if they don't disagree it means they agree and can't find an argument to use against you."
"You're father is a lawyer. Of course he would say that."
"Leo. Everyone here knows Sebastian is a girl. Because only girls like boys. Isn't that right Sebastian?"
Sebastian very carefully picked himself up. He didn't look at his skinned knees or his hand. He straightened his clothes and started to walk away like he always did. Stiffly because it hurt to bend his knees.
Until the book hit him in the middle of his back. He was on his knees again, head hanging between his arms as he breathed. Hot tears falling onto the cement.
"See. Told you he was a girl." The few girls watching were protesting that girls weren't cry babies and to stop comparing them to the freak.
"Good aim. You've been practicing for the baseball team as pitcher, haven't you?"
Sebastian heard two of the boys walk away as if nothing had happened.
