Alexander's hands curled into fist until his knuckles shone white at his sides. A small group of kids stood in his way, taunting him and thwarting all his efforts to get past them. The anger bubbled up inside him as he stood there silently while they poked and prodded at him, bringing up the all the things he never wanted to talk about. They knew exactly how to get a rise out of him and did so gleefully until he couldn't take it anymore.
He charged at the ring leader who, unfortunately, was bigger than him and slammed into his middle. He scrambled for purchase on the bully's shirtfront but was shoved back almost immediately. He stumbled backwards until he fell with a grunt, the ground biting painfully into his palms as he caught himself. He scurried to get his feet back under himself and take a second run a them when the shadow of someone much taller passed over him.
