Sean Stillwater was a student at Cornney Wales Memorial High school. He lived in Loschin, a small neighborhood in the outskirts of coutlasvy, Los Angeles, in a small bungalow they owned. He lived with his mother, Alvery Stillwater.
Alvery Stillwater was abandoned by her family after she hard-headedly got married to Samuel Stillwater. She got pregnant with Sean after two years of marrying Samuel Stillwater. Alvery Stillwater was a staff nurse at St. Monica's Teaching Hospital, coutlasvy.
Four years later, Samuel Stillwater left home thereby abandoning his wife and unborn child. Alvery had to single-handedly cater for herself and her unborn child using the minimal salary she earned as a staff nurse in St. Monica's Teaching Hospital, coutlasvy.
Nine Months later, she put to bed a bouncing baby boy that she later named Sean; Sean Stillwater.
Sean could be seen coming back from school, he walked up their stairs and pressed the doorbell.
"Who is there?" A voice came from inside.
"It's me, mom," Sean answered.
"Oh….. it's you, my Sean. Welcome back, " Alvery Stillwater said while opening the door.
"How was school today, son??" Alvery asked.
"School was not that fun mom, I tried making new friends today, but it seems no one wanna be friends with me" Sean exasperatedly uttered.
"Come on son, just take things easy, alright? Soon enough they will know what they are missing in befriending a genius like you. Cheer up son, it isn't the end of the world. For me, you are the best son ever, I can't ask for anything more and you are the best thing to ever happen to me" Alvery lovingly declared to her son.
"I love you so much, mom" Sean, in a state
of conflicting emotions ran to his mother and hugged her.
"I love you too, son. Now cheer up and smile at momma, will you?" Alvery chuckled and said.
Sean gave a bashful smile.
"Now, that's what I'm talking about, son. I am already late for work. I made something for you, your favorite. Check the r
efrigerator and help yourself. I will be back home late at night so don't wait up for me, okay?. I love you son, Mwwah!! " Alvery said all in breath, kissing Sean on the cheek while running out of the house.
"Bye Mum, love you too" Sean seconded.
Sean locked the door and went into his room all the while thinking about what happened at school that day.
It was after school hours when Sean was going home. A boy chewing gum stood in front of him, he had a tattoo on his body. Sean tried walking the other way, but another boy blocked him, and then three more boys emerged from the other side. Sean saw them and panicked, they were guys from school who always bullied him for no reason.
"Yo boy, going home to mama?" One of the boys asked, smirking.
"Please, you guys should leave me alone. I-i have done...." Sean shuttered nervously.
"Of course, you have done nothing wrong. we just wanted to see you off on your way home, right guys?" one of the boys who seemed to be the leader asked cackling.
"Yes, yes" they answered snickering.
"See you tomorrow, Stillwater," they said while leaving the same way they came.
Sean saw them leaving and mumbled under his breath "I hate those guys, if only I were stronger…"
