Content Warning: This section of the guide contains descriptions of bullying, ableism, and derogatory attitudes toward people with disabilities.
In Jamie’s version of the narrative, a parade of students is organized to celebrate his achievement when he returns to school. In reality, word does spread, and he got some nods and congratulations.
Jamie’s newfound popularity only lasts a few hours. Soon rumors start spreading online that he only won the contest because of the judges’ pity for his disability. Jamie’s friends defend him and try to make him feel better, but Jamie cannot help feeling hurt. The students’ congratulations turn to jeers and laughter. Later, Jamie finds Stevie at a computer, making fake accounts that all claim that Jamie should never have won the contest. Stevie stares back at Jamie, sneering.
After hearing the rumors, Suzy has some kind words for Jamie. She starts by honestly telling Jamie that he uses jokes to hide his real feelings, and she asks Jamie to go five minutes without telling a joke. She then reminds him that he is actually funny, no matter what the naysayers might think.
