Luna and the Brave Whisper
Every morning, Luna tied her rainbow shoelaces and skipped to school with a big smile. She loved drawing unicorns, listening to stories, and playing tag with her friends. Her world was filled with color, laughter, and dreams.
But then came Max.
Max was in her class. He was always watching, always waiting to say something mean.
“Why do you wear such bright shoes?”
“Are you scared of everything?”
And one day, when Luna was drawing in her notebook, he sneered, “You draw like a baby. And your face looks weird.”
Luna froze. Her cheeks burned. Max wasn’t just teasing now—he was being cruel.
Another day, he whispered loudly to others, “She’s so chubby. No wonder she runs slow.”
Luna stopped wearing her rainbow shoes. She sat quietly in the back of the classroom. She even stopped drawing.
At home, she stared at herself in the mirror and whispered, “Maybe he’s right…”
One afternoon, Luna sat under the old oak tree behind the school, hugging her knees. Her classmate Mia walked over and sat beside her.
“Are you okay?” Mia asked gently.
Luna sighed. “Max says I’m fat and ugly. I don’t even want to come to school anymore.”
Mia took her hand. “That’s not true. He’s just trying to make you feel small. But you’re not alone. I felt that way too… until I told Ms. Rivera.”
That night, Luna couldn’t sleep. She stared at her rainbow shoes beside her bed and remembered how happy they used to make her feel.
“I’m not the one who should be hiding,” she whispered.
The next day, she walked into school with her head high and her rainbow shoelaces proudly tied.
During art class, Max snorted, “Drawing unicorns again? They look just as silly as you.”
Luna took a deep breath. “I like unicorns. And I don’t like being teased. You need to stop.”
The room went silent. Ms. Rivera walked over and gently placed a hand on Luna’s shoulder.
“Thank you for speaking up. Max, please stay after class. We need to talk.”
Later, Max apologized. Luna wasn’t sure if he would change, but she felt proud of herself. Mia smiled at her and gave her a thumbs-up.
From then on, Luna wore her colors, drew her unicorns, and walked tall.
Because even the quietest whisper can become a roar of courage.
