"Is he going to visit his family members living there?" John asked and began to laugh loudly, obviously proud of his comment. Some of the pupils looking at them laughed. Some others appeared shocked to hear John say that. They obviously didn't like John's behaviour but none of them talked. Ike and Daniel looked angry.
Feeling very embarrassed and unsure of how respond, Gideon keep quiet. He hoped John would just leave. Ike realised he had to speak up, being the class captain. He said, "Why would you say such a thing?" He was not afraid of John. He would report John to their class teacher if necessary. "Don't you know it's not good? How would you feel if someone says that to you? Would you like it?" Daniel added.
Ignoring Ike and Daniel, John continued laughing. Moving to stand in front of the class, he spoke again, "which bird are you writing about for the class project, Gideon? The sparrow or the owl that looks like you or -?" "Billy, saying things like that is wrong and harmful."
"Keep quiet, Ike. John said and laughed.
"No!"
