Masterlist
The laughter of the cruel children still echoes in Logan's head long after the teacher has quietened them.
He knows they still whisper about him; he hears the hushed voices hissing like a pit of snakes, a burgeoning storm.
And he thought it would be different here.
Giving Kendall a desperate glance, Logan notices how Kendall's expression seems as hurt as the dark-haired boy feels. A tear slips from the corner of Logan's eye and Kendall's face shifts to anger. Logan hurriedly wipes it away - a cry baby will produce even more insults than a name like Hortense.
"Why didn't you tell me your real name was Hortense?" Kendall whispers.
"Would you tell people that?" Logan answers, frowning. "I was afraid you wouldn't be my friend."
Today is Logan's first day at his new school. He was so happy when he learned he would be in Kendall's class; the two have become fast friends. Now, Kendall probably thinks Logan is a liar with a stupid name and a cry baby.
Kendall rolls his eyes. "I'm not immature like these stinky-butt poopheads," he says. Logan can't help but laugh, understanding, even at eight-years-old, how conflicting the statement is.
"Thanks," Logan says.
"You know, I think everybody would like you if you just smiled at 'em," Kendall adds, flashing his own crooked teeth.
At lunch, the kids start teasing Logan again, calling out his name in a sing-song voice, laughter pealing through the cafeteria. Kendall throws his milk carton in the floor in anger and stands on his seat.
"Everybody, listen to me!" he shouts. The room grows quiet and everyone turns toward him. "Up until I was five, my mom called me 'Pickle'! If anyone has a problem with different names, come talk to me about it. Otherwise, shut up!"
All is still and silent as Kendall sits back down. Several moments pass before the cafeteria erupts into frantic whispers. A teacher comes and takes Kendall outside, to the principal. Kendall's friends, Carlos and James, come to sit next to Logan, and he swallows. Worry keeps him mute; are Carlos and James going to hit him for getting their friend in trouble?
Carlos sees the worry on Logan's face, smiles. "If Kendall thinks you're all right, so do we."
"We'll take care of you while he's gone," James says, loud enough so everyone can hear him.
Logan's chest tightens. How could he have gotten lucky enough to meet this group? Already, he has not one friend, but three.
Looking at Carlos, Logan glances at the helmet on his head. Carlos laughs. "Do you play hockey?"
"No, but I could learn," Logan answers.
"So, do we call you Hortense or Logan?" James asks.
That night, Logan has dinner with the boys at Kendall's house, meets Mrs. Knight. For the first time, he feels like he fits.
He begins smiling without fear.
