Peter Thornburg is in the seventh grade. He has silver eyes: not really light blue irises but eyes like pools of quicksilver. It creeps people out. Other children his age fear him.

They either run away from him or attack and bully him. Flight or fight. He tries to wear dark glasses to hide his eyes, but eventually someone makes him take them off, and everyone finds out about his eyes.
