Unnoticeable

Unnoticeable
“That was the coolest party ever!” yelled Sophie. Cheerful laughs and talks about
memories, were being shared at lunch. They were all obsessed about the party and they
didn’t even acknowledge Brian by asking him how he felt since he wasn’t invited. Brian
was used to feeling left out. No one ever cared about him and they treated him like he
wasn’t even around. He felt like he was as invisible as a ghost. Usually at play time, Brian
would be by himself, sadly sworming on the swing and being gloomy as an thunderstorm.
Everyone thought he was a mouse pretender, he didn’t talk that much to others. The next
day came by with a new boy in the class. Brian gleamed at him and looked very closely.
“Everyone, this is our new student, say hello Justin” said the teacher. Justin gave a
pleasing, good welcoming hello. Justin took attention of Brian and smiled hoping he will
smile back. Justin looked like a nice boy. He had a pale face like a marshmallow and
dark, black licorice looking hair. He had glossy, dirt brown eyes that shine bright like
gems. Brian thought Justin was different from the others, so he smiled back. At lunch,
Justin had some traditional, juicy, tender Korean beef. As people saw it, they immediately
started making disgusted faces. The smell of the beef smelt rotten and burnt but Justin
seemed to enjoy it. “What is that?” asked Madison while she paid close attention to it.
“This is Korean bbq beef, it’s tasty, succulent and delicious!” replied Justin, “It’s called
bo-ge-go” added Justin. The kids, then saw his slim, black chopsticks and got more
confused. A million questions hovered over Justin. “What are those?” , “Is it called
booger-ge!” Justin’s mind was rushed by the laughter and argues. Everyone made fun of
Justin’s food except for Brian. After, lunch was over and Brian decided to make a card for
Justin. In the card, there were little messages about the bo-ge-go, colourful stripes and
red, retro hearts with loving things about Justin. Brian slipped the card through Justin’s
cubby hole and left. A few minute later, Justin comes and swish! Out comes the card.
The card falls down and his eyes stare at it. As he reads it, his heart gets warmed up and
goes to Brian to say thank you. The next day, the teacher said they had to do a project
between 2 or 3 people. Amilo, Justin and Brian decided to work together. That was the
day when Brian felt important. Have you ever felt lonely? Even if it’s hard feeling
invisible it’ll get better!
