All the children attended school accly for their age and they all attehe same school. The three older siblings had it smooth. However for Noelia, he would often be ridiculed for his hey sometimes called him "Sissy" irly boy" just for his name. Noelia was six years old in his first year of elementary school and he didn't have any friends yet, his only panion in the same school as him was his elder siblings.

  They would often ask Noelia to join them, usually Elena asked Noelia the most even if she was with her friends. The three siblings would apany and protect him from bullying. The siblings were walking home from school. Apparently their mother was busy and couldn't pick them up. They were all exhausted from school and wanting to rest at home.

  "School was exhausting, I think I want to sleep!" said Sebastian as he yawned.

  "Noelia, why did you stop?" said Elena looking back at Noelia who suddenly stopped.

  Noelia looked down and said, "I-I… want to ge my name."

  "Why?" Sebastian asked.

  "My name sounds like a girl and people would always call me names like "Sissy", I don't even know what that is!!" said Noelia.

  " Noelia, your name is fine for you," said Elena.

  Sebastian signaled Manuel by kig in the leg and he whispered, "Say something."

  "Oh yeah, your name is fine for both boys and girls. That is unique!" said Manuel.

  "Don't worry, Noelia. We'll help you get through this," Elena assured.

  Noelia nodded in gratitude but he still khat one day, he had to face it alone. He eogether with the help of his siblings until he reached high school.

  Noelia was now a high school student, he ehe school without knowing anyone. From elementary school to middle school, his only friends were his elder siblings but they all graduated leaving Noelia alone. Noelia had no choice but to make friends all by himself. Noelia walked to the locker he was assigo, Noelia opened his locker and put his stuff inside. Suddenly, someone appeared after Noelia closed his locker which startled him.

  "Hey, I feel like I saw you before… Are you one of those gangs?" said the unknown person while crag his fists.

  Noelia began to sweat, he didn't know what was going on. He asked himself if he did something wrong.

  The unknown person smiled and ughed, "I'm just joking and those gangs, it's all made up," said the unknown person.

  Noelia was still nervous and sweating, the unknown person reassured him that it was only a joke. Noelia breathed a sigh of relief, the unknown person asked if Noelia was new whioelia replied with a yes. The person introduced himself as Knox, he said that he was also new here.

  "Say...What's your first css?" Knox asked.

  "English," Noelia replied.

  "Bummer, we're not in the same css. Anyways, I'll see you around," said Knox.

  Noelia went to his css while also looking around but then he realized he went lost. Noelia hurried and ran around trying to find his css before he was te. He then saw his css and ran as fast as possible, he leaped into the css almost bumping the teacher.

  "Okay...Well done on not being te!" said the teacher.

  Noelia went to find his seat, opened his bag to grab his books. Noelia looked at the door window and saw Knox talking with a lot of people even though he was new and Noelia wondered if he could be like Knox. Being an approachable person and fun to talk with but the only thing that held him was his name.

  Noelia still felt insecure about his name, Knox hadn't known his name so he wasn't sure if Knox wouldn't ugh. After the first lessons, Noelia kept thinking about what Knox and other people would think about his name. He suddenly bumped into Knox.

  "Oh sorry, I didn't see you there!" Noelia apologized.

  "It's fi's my fault too," Knox replied. Knox looked at Noelia after he got up.

  He asked, "Hey...Aren't you one of those gangs?".

  Noelia began to sweat again, Knox looked at the nervous looking Noelia and sighed, he seemed tot the same joke he made.

  "Dude, why are you nervous? Don't tell me you fot the joke I told you before?" said Knox.

  Noelia then remembered that Knox actually did say the same joke, Noelia ughed in embarrassment saying that he fot. Knox asked for Noelia's name, he fot to ask because Noelia had to go to his css immediately.

  Noelia got nervous again aated to speak out his name. Knox was fused and asked what was the matter. Noelia said that he was just embarrassed about his name, Knox assured that he wouldn't mind any name. Noelia breathed out and then he finally said his name. Knox's eyes were widened, Noelia noticed a embarrassed again.

  "See...I told you...I should've not said it," said Noelia.

  "No no, it's fine! I was just surprised," Knox replied.

  "You're fih it?" Noelia asked again.

  "Really! It's better without a name besides, your name is already fine," Knox replied. Noelia felt safe and relieved that someone besides his family finally accepted his name.

  "Oh yeah, I'm meeting someoer. Want to tag along?" Knox asked.

  Noelia nodded, so Knht along Noelia. The two boys arrived at the spot where they would meet the person. The persoed Knox but then looked at Noelia.

  'Who's that?" the person asked.

  "Oh, it's my new friend," Knox answered.

  Knox turo Noelia and said to him, "This is Fraser, say hello to him.".

  "Hello...my name's Noelia," said Noelia quietly.

  Fraser smirked and said, "Noelia?".

  "Fraser!" said Knox.

  "Alright! Anyways, when will you sting random people into our business?" Fraser asked.

  " Fraser, Noelia's new here. I want him to be friends with us!" Knox replied.

  Fraser sighed and ehat Knox hasn't ged a bit since kindergarten. Noelia didn't know what was going on so he asked for information. Fraser said that they have a fight with someone and they will fight in the month.

  "Caprio...That guy..." said Knox angrily.

  Noelia asked why Knox was getting angry all of the sudden and who Caprio was. No one listeo Noelia's question.

  "This would be a one on one fight but if he decided to fight with his goons then we have no choice but to go fight with all of us," said Fraser. "Knox, could this guy fight?".

  "I'm not sure..." Knox replied.

  " you fight?" Fraser asked Noelia.

  Noelia shook his head and Fraser sighed. Fraser facepalmed his face theuro Knox with a disappointed face. He approached Knox closely.

  "I guess it's just the two of us," said Fraser.

  The matter would be discussed some time ter, the three went to a park to refresh their minds. Noelia turo Fraser and asked about the fight and the reason behind it but the response was only his silence. Knox told Noelia that it ersonal matter. Knox and Fraser may have looked rexed oside but they were tense on the inside, eager to fight Caprio for their reasons.

  After they parted ways as it was about to get dark, Noelia gave a thought about what retly happened. Noelia wondered what drove both Knox and Fraser to fight a person but he remembered that Knox said it ersonal matter so Noelia didn't bother to think about it.
