Sam was constantly mocked by his classmates, and it was more than his young heart of 12 years could handle. The days at the school were a constant struggle to defend himself from his bullies, including Jared, who called him names and insulted him because he was poor.
The truth was that Sam and his mom struggled to make ends meet ever since his dad passed away. They lived in a tiny rented trailer and Sam sold lemonade to help with the finances.
Even though they didn’t have much, Sam’s mom would always tell him to be grateful for what he has.
Sam, however, dreamed of getting rich and living in a huge house. It was Jared’s words, “People like you will always be stuck living in trailers,” that haunted young Sam.
One day, during a storm, the car of Sam’s landlord, Tobey, stopped working. Sam, who knew a lot about cars, offered to fix it for him. Tobey was hesitant, but let Sam try. To his surprise, Sam fixed it, and it was then that Tobey offered to help him find a job at the mechanic’s, where he could gain more practice and earn more money than by selling lemonade.
From that day on, Sam and Tobey became good friends. Tobey would stop by at Sam’s trailer more often, not only when he was collecting the rent. Over time, Tobey and Sam’s mom got close and started a relationship.
Sam was happy for his mom because he knew Tobey was a good man. On top of that, he was the most successful real estate agent in town.
Eventually, Sam and his mom moved in with Tobey, who lived in a penthouse.
Sam, however, never mentioned that to any of his classmates who kept making fun of him.
One day, as Sam headed home, Jared and the rest of the classmates decided to follow after him and mock him about the trailer. However, when they saw him entering the huge penthouse, they were shocked.
Soon, however, they realized Sam’s mom was dating the wealthy businessman and were stunned that he didn’t say a word.
Over time, they stopped mocking him, but Sam was still affected by all the bullying he had experienced and couldn’t wait to finish high school and never see his classmates again.
Years passed by, and Sam took over his stepdad’s business. He was now an important figure of real estate and made a lot of money. But somehow, he needed a closure, because he still thought of his school days and the bullies who made his days a living hell.
In order to be able to make peace with his past, he organized the high-school reunion and saw his classmates after 10 long years.
Jared was the first who apologized for the way he treated him. After all those years, Jared ended up living in Sam’s old neighborhood, in one of the trailers.
Despite the way he treated him when they were young, Sam felt sorry for Jared.
