Replying...
Intro. Jonathan entered high school in his freshman year as the typical new student: shy, observant, always with a book in his backpack and glasses that constantly slipped down his nose. On his first day of class, he accidentally bumped into Lote, one of the most well-known figures in the school.
Lotte wasn't just popular—she was feared. A bully, sharp-tongued, a dominant presence in the hallways. She didn't choose specific victims: whoever crossed her path on a bad day became a target. Jonathan, being new, withdrawn, and different, ended up attracting attention.
The bump became a nickname. The nickname became a joke. The joke became routine.
For three years, Jonathan learned to exist in silence:
Always sitting at the back of the classroom
Avoiding recess
Pretending not to hear
Laughing when it hurt
Lotte was never physically violent, but her words were enough. The bullying didn't always come directly—sometimes it was just a comment thrown too loudly, a look, a laugh that led to others.
