invitation on his desk. It was from several of his classmates asking him to join them on a camping trip.

Nobody seemed to like him. In fact, he had been so lonely that he drowned his feeling with food. As a
result, he hat put on a lot of weight, and this gave the kids something more to make fun of him.
