"After years, little Kaya became a teenager, but his life was the same—still no friends.
"But Kaya started to enjoy certain things, most likely art. He started drawing when he felt down, and it made him feel better. Art was like a light in darkness to him. Anytime he drew, he felt like he was in a lost world where no one existed—only him and his art.
One day, he was sitting alone on a hill, working on a new sketch. He heard people fighting, so he got up to see what was happening. He saw a group of bullies picking on a little boy, and at first, he wanted to ignore them and leave."Leave me alone, please!" the little boy said crying. Kaya heard his voice and suddenly remembered his own past—how he was bullied just like this boy, and no one helped him. He thought for a moment, then ran quickly toward them and said, "H-Hey, you guys! Leave him alone!" He spoke nervously.The boys turned to him and said, "Who are you to order us around?" Kaya fell silent, his body shaking. But when he saw the little boy crying for help, he thought to himself, This boy doesn't deserve to live a life like mine. So, he stepped closer and shouted angrily, "I told you to get away from him!" The bullies got scared and ran away. Kaya smiled, realizing that by saving the little boy, he had also saved himself from his bullying past memories . The little boy hugged him tightly and said, "Thank you very much! You saved my life for sure!" Kaya smiled gently as the boy left. When he was walking to school, he thought about the day and laughed. "What was I so scared of? They were only pre-teen kids… I'm so dumb."
''After all those years it was the first time he laughed and felt free(:
