"That's it?!" they cackled.

"I-I... w-well-"

"Psshh! Hahaha!" they laughed at me.

I felt tears threatening to spill as I hid my right hand behind my back in humiliation.

I guess sprouting a small plant on my hand didn't impress them.

"Why don't you try eating grass, too?"

A boy's voice snickered, then he pushed me forcefully onto the grassy ground.

"Make some goat noises while you're at it! Be-e-e-e!" they all laughed, pointing fingers at me to humiliate me more.

I shut my eyes tightly, clenching the grass beneath my hands. I'm always the loser, the outcast. No one likes me.

"C'mon goatie!"

Someone kicked my leg. I couldn't hold the tears any longer.

"S-stop... p-please...-" I begged.

"Who knew goats cried?!" Laughter proceded mockery.

I let my flowing tears continuously drop onto the soft grass, helpless.

Then, someone else joined in.

"Hey! What're you guys doing?!"

I froze.

I recognize that voice, she's their leader.

"(Y/N)! Look, a goat!"

My eyes were shut, but I knew they were pointing at me as they laughed.

"Goat?" Her voice dripped with confusion.

"He said he can make stuff he eats come out of his body! So we wanna see if he can grow grass out of his armpits!"

Laughter, but I couldn't hear her laugh at all.

"Grass for pits!!"

"Guys..."

"I'm Amajiki! Be-e-e-eh!" one mocked.

"Guys...!"

"Grass-pits, grass-pits-!"

"Guys, stop! That's not nice!"

Silence.

I finally mustered the courage to look up at her, (Y/N). Her (E/C) eyes were soft, and pity was written all over her face.
