12 Chapter 12 Humiliation 1/3

For the Asian Boy's Luck, I Recognized Him, Yes, the Boy, Son of the Vietnamese Family from the Convenience Store I Helped Last Night.

A Few Minutes Earlier

Tam was Thinking About What Had Happened Yesterday, at his parents' store, the Scene Replayed in His Head, the Desperation, the Fear, the Blood That Wouldn't Come Off His Face No Matter How Many Times he washed it, and the sensation of life passing before his eyes.

All of This Became Very Vivid for Tam, Initially, Tam Didn't Want to Come to School at This Moment, Because He Was Emotionally Unstable, But His mother Didn't Let Him

In Her Words, She Says (We're Immigrants, We don't have the Luxury of Skipping Education, Now get ready for school) Not Giving Tam a Choice, He Got Ready Reluctantly to go to school.

Arriving at the Cafeteria, Tam Reflected on the previous night When Three Tall Boys Sat at the Same Table as Him, Something That Had Never Happened Before Because People Labeled Him as a Nerd, Weirdo.

So it was at Least Strange the Unfolding of the Situation

Soon One of Them Opened His Mouth and Said "Stephen, I remember reading in the newspaper today, that there was a robbery, at a small convenience store last night, a cousin of my friend who is a policeman said that the scene was very bloody" Says a Boy with Green Eyes and Freckles on His Cheeks To the Boy with Curly Hair Next to Him

Soon the Boy with Curly Hair Replied "You know Yuri, I really Think it's a Shame that this Filthy Vietnamese Family, Didn't Die, It would be one less Cancer for America, these immigrants, My Father Said They Cause All Sorts Of Problems For Society, and that it would be better if they didn't come to America" Says The Boy with Curly Hair Exaggeratedly.

Hearing That Mockery, Towards His People, and hearing that it would be better if his Family Had Been Killed in the Robbery Last Night, A Feeling of Disgust and helplessness Rose in Tam's Chest Together, With Flashbacks in His Mind, Soon Tam's Feelings of Disgust and helplessness Were Replaced by Anger Boiling Inside Him

Tam Abruptly Got Up from the table and looked at the people sitting on it and shouted "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT MY FAMILY!!!!" He Shouted and Ran Up to the Boy With His Fists Raised, The Boy with Green Eyes Got Up From the Chair Looked at Tam with Eyes Full Of Mockery Raised His Fists and Punched Tam In the Face, Along With the Inertia Tam Fell to the Ground Violently With a Bleeding Nose Screaming with Anger and Pain. -End of Chapter-
