(Ally hold up a write board with a letter a on it)
Teacher. The answer is a, correct.
Ally. Yes
Noah. Look at Ally's answer. It doesn't even look like an a. He is not right.
Ally. (Yells) It is an a. It is.
(Everyone looks at Ally. Everyone yells at Ally saying "The girl put a 9!")
Ally. Looks at everyone with tears in his eyes. No, it isn't and I'm not a girl.
Zoe. ( stands up) Stop it, everyone. It is not a nine. It is a letter a and do NOT call him a girl because he is not. Do you know how he feels?
The crowd shakes their head.
Zoe. That's right so don't talk to people because you don't know anything about him.
Ally. Looks up. And smiles. As if it was the first.
