Andrew

Born in Rome, Italy, Andrew attended a Private School up until the death of one of his grandfather's and had to move to the United States with his mother and little sister. His father joined them a year later. There at Saint Mary's Academy, Andrew excelled with his studies and his English. Andrew was considered a friend to everyone and his teachers from elementary to middle school and high school. He was quick to make friends and it made him an easy target for bullies.

Cory.

One afternoon, Andrew was in class when the teacher announced that they would have to pick a partner for a project. Andrew's friends had picked each other or had Andrew help them pick a partner. By the time everyone was settled, Andrew was without a partner for the project. His teacher told him he could partner with Cory. Andrew agreed and saw the looks and snickers of his classmates. Cory was seated at his desk, not looking at anyone or Andrew. Andrew knew Cory was a student who had trouble keeping up and making friends. Cory was the Black Sheep of his class and in the school. Andrew walked boldly and sat by Cory and said his hello's. Cory stared hard at his desk. Andrew noticed that in Cory's hands was a paper he had been twisting and bending. Andrew took the paper from and took Cory's hand in his. Andrew said nothing but let Cory squeeze his hand until his hand had small bruises and a hand mark. After school let out, Andrew left and saw that Cory was walking alone. Older male and female students were heckling him and following him. Andrew quickly ran after Cory and began to scold him about their school project as he pushed him along to another street. Cory was confused but went along anyhow as Andrew shoved him along. It was there when Andrew became a target and was unaware.

Bulimia.

Andrew is a big eater and a bit on the heavy side. Andrew ate almost all the time and had snacks in his backpack in case he or anyone got hungry. One day after gym, Andrew was going through his backpack and found one of his snacks open and filled folded notes. Andrew thought Quill was playing a joke on him and opened it. Each note was filled with awful words and cruel jokes about his weight. Andrew quickly hid them in his pouch and ran out of the school to find Cory and Quill. He never told them because it will blow over. The next day at school, Andrew found more notes and missing snacks. Andrew said nothing but stop bringing snacks so the notes will stop, but the notes continued and became more and more vicious. Andrew began to worry about his weight and would stop eating at lunch and at dinner. Andrew would lie to his parents about eating. It was getting worse and Andrew found awful texts on his phone from people he did not know. Andrew read them all night and woke up tired and hungry from the nights before. One night as his parents were out, Andrew couldn't take it anymore and began to binge eat in the kitchen. Andrew felt sick from doing so and worried about the pounds he was gaining. Andrew ran to the bathroom and began to vomit. When it was over, Andrew felt lighter and smiled again since the notes. He believed that he can eat as much as he wants and throw it up later without a worry about weight. Andrew knew something was off, but he only wanted to lose weight without and worries
