55. Egg on
Setting: an elementary school in Rouen, France; 2063

Gaston kept his head down, his eyes glued to the book in front of him, trying to block out the taunts. A tear splashed onto the page, then another. “Stop it, Gaston!” the teacher hissed. “If you cry, you’re only egging them on.”

Gaston didn’t understand. Why was he getting scolded and the bullies weren’t? How was that egging them on? And… why did the teacher think it was his fault they were picking on him?

“B-but-“ His lip wibbled.

The teacher’s icy glare silenced him. “If you’re going to act like that, you can go to the headmaster’s office.”
