Josh was a very lonely student in his school. No one wanted to help him with his homework or play with him as he was very obese. He had tried his utmost best to reduce his weight but it did not do much.
Thus, all the others constantly teased him.
That fateful day, a new transfer student called Jeff entered the school and surprisingly, he sat beside him. As usual, our teacher, Ms Goh, told him to give him a tour of the school.
"And this is the school library. If you are an avid reader, you should definitely come here!" Josh said as they stood in front of the library which was located in the second floor. He looked at the library and gagged. Josh guffawed at this.
Josh wanted to talk to Jeff to know more about him but found it seemingly strenuous to as he kept on making funny faces at him. So, he decided not to talk to him for the rest of the time.
Later, when he was going back to home from school, a few boys from his class came towards him and started to mock and tease him. Jeff saw this and went out of Josh's sight and to the staff room. Josh thought he was too afraid of the bullies so he ran away. Instead, within few minutes, Jeff came back with a teacher. When the teacher came closer, it became clearer that the teacher was their own teacher, Ms Goh! Delighted, Josh ignored every single word they were using to describe him. When one of the boys were calling him fat, they received a light pat on the back and they immediately turned back in rage that someone patted him on the shoulder. "How dare..." One of the boy's voice trailed off after seeing Ms Goh.
Not once, after the boys were punished, did anyone dare to bully Jeff's best friend, Josh. Jeff was not just a friend, he was the funny friend.
