The day was over and thankfully it wasn't going to be a long one, or so Mason thought. As he gathered his things and placed them in his messenger bag he noticed a couple of older kids were occasionally glancing over at him. It was normal for him to get picked on for either being too young for his grade level, too tall for his age, or too nice for his own good. He wondered what the reasoning was going to be today, but then he thought why does it matter, this too shall pass. He put on his pea coat and threw on his bag and walked towards the door to go outside onto the parking lot.
As he walked out he noticed a few guys followed him outside and he knew this encounter was going to be less than pleasant. As the group walked up to him they asked him where he was going in such a rush and he said he had to be on his way to work. Mason was a diligent worker, however he had the day off, however he figured that was a detail that the group didn't exactly need to know. The group slowly circled around Mason and asked if he's working then he wouldn't be opposed to perhaps sharing some of his earning with them, in which he began try and walk away, but they just pushed him back in. Mason began to tremble slightly as he softly stuttered that he didn't want any trouble. The guys said there wouldn't be any trouble as long as he did as he was asked. Mason reached into his pocket and grabbed 60 dollars out of his wallet and handed it to the boys. They gladly took his donation before pushing him down to the ground and kicking him a few times in the stomach.
Mason winced on the ground and the guys said they would be back next week and expected more money before they laughed and walked away. Mason slowly got up and dusted himself off and placed his bag back on. He seemed fine as he sighed and looked around. A couple people chuckled as they looked at him while everyone else just seemed to mind their own business. Mason seemed to be pretty used to it, however he did wish sometimes that he didn't have to be at this school. He wished he could just move on from this all and find his place in the world.
