The situation
A boy called Eli used to be part of a group of six friends. Then, gradually, things shifted. He wasn't invited to the last two birthday parties in the class. The group drifted to the other side of the playground at recess. He was never picked for class teams. Nobody was ever cruel to his face — but the pattern was clear. The group had quietly decided he was out. Eli noticed. He started coming to school looking defeated. Nobody in the group ever said a word about it — to him or to each other.
