He'd act out during class and was a terrorizer to other students ever since Kindergarten.

The first day of a new school year, all was normal, Jackson had been threatening an innocent classmate when he had noticed there was someone new. She was a nice person, polite and respectful to everyone she spoke to. Jackson had never seen someone who looked like her— he thought she was beautiful. When she introduced herself to him, ignoring what the others said about him, the boy couldn't find it in himself to call her names or slap her. Jackson instead made an offer to show her around, to which she accepted happily. An act in an effort to change, the other students and teacher knew not, but one thing was for certain: They were relieved the nice girl wouldn't have to go through what they had with him and maybe, <em>just maybe</em>, she could help him.
