"Humans are all different in many ways," said Mr. Sutekina, standing in the front of the classroom. He was a tall man wearing a black suit and a red tie, and a small goatee. His glasses were rectangle shaped, his hair was slicked back. He looked at me, his eyes cold and dead, but then he turned to the rest of the class, the life returning to his eyes as he yelled out, "Today, you will work in groups to find out what that difference is for you, then you'll present to the class." Wow, he looked dead inside just looking at me. "Now when I say go, make a group of four," Mr. Sutekina instructed. Everyone waited silently for the instruction to start, and just when I was about to yawn, Mr. Sutekina yelled, "Go!!!" Everyone else got into groups of four, except for four people. I was one of those four. "Chakkuri," yelled Mr. Sutekina. "Why don't you be the head of the remaining four." A tall boy stood in the far side of the room. He stepped forward and yelled, "Yes sir!" Chakkuri was the type of boy that would always do what he was told. We sat down at the table that was closest to him and started to do what we were told.

"Hey, Kage, is there anything that you know that you have different from everyone else?" Chakkuri asked me, looking very excited. "No," I replied. Chakkuri opened his mouth as if he were going to speak when I said, "Actually, yeah, I think that Mr. Sutekina hates me.", "No he doesn't." Chakkuri said quickly, as if trying to cover what I said. "Anyways, I know what the difference that I have is," Chakkuri said, then grinned. He looked around the group sneakily, his gaze meeting every one of us. He opened his mouth to speak, but quickly closed it, making me impatient. Finally, he said: "Oh, it's nothing. I jus-", "WOULD YOU JUST TELL US ALREADY GOSH DANG IT!?!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, making everyone turn to me. I saw some boy in the corner of the room mock anger and everyone laughed. I mean everyone. "Good one, Isiah!" I heard someone say. I glared at Isiah, shivering at the sight of his nose. His eyes were big, his hair was short, but the thing that got me the most was his nose. His nose was very long and tilted up.

Mr. Sutekina looked up, scanned the room with his eyes, then when his eyes were on me, they went dark. "Are you done explaining your differences to your group?" He asked. "I don't have one." was my answer. He then looked at me, smiled and said: "Everyone has differences, Kage. You just have to realize it—," he stopped when he saw my ponytail, then added: "Oh, and i'm not talking about appearance, either." I looked around and saw staring faces, and became embarrassed.
