In the midst of the schoolyard, a chubby boy stands alone. His eyes are downcast, and he clutches his schoolbag tightly.

Suddenly, a group of bullies approach him, their cruel laughter echoing around the playground. They poke and prod at his belly, causing it to jiggle.

They continue their torment, their fingers digging into his soft chest and love handles. His cheeks flush with embarrassment and humiliation.

One of the bullies pulls out a large soda bottle, shaking it up and down. The other bullies laugh, their eyes gleaming with malicious intent.

The bullies force the soda bottle to his lips, ignoring his protests. He struggles against them, but they are too strong.

He chokes on the fizzy drink, but they force him to keep drinking. They laugh and joke about how much fatter he's going to get.

Once the bullies leave, the chubby boy is left alone. His stomach churns from the soda, and his face is flushed with humiliation.

He picks up his bag and walks away, his head held high. Despite the humiliation, he refuses to let the bullies see him cry.

The chubby boy sits alone in his room, his mind replaying the day's events. He feels a mixture of anger, humiliation, and determination.

He vows to himself that he won't let the bullies get to him. He decides to stand up for himself, to fight back.

As the bullies approach him again, the chubby boy stands his ground. He looks them in the eye and tells them to stop.

The bullies are taken aback. They try to laugh it off, but the boy doesn't back down. Embarrassed, they walk away, leaving the boy standing tall.
