Do you ever wonder why she has those black eyebags underneath her eyes? Why her black makeup is all smudged under her eyes? Why she's always tired? Why she's always asleep in class? Why does she never talk to people around her? Why she's shy? I could go on and on for this list. These questions are ongoing. Unstoppable.

She lifts her head on the table sweaty, looking up at her teacher, "I stayed up all night, sir, studying".

She would say to her teacher when he asked her why she was asleep. But does she really mean that? Do you actually want to believe that? Does she want you to believe a deadly lie? Do you wonder?

Do you also wonder, why she always wears her long-sleeved jacket for PE? Nevertheless all the time? And a pair of those dirty black jeans? How can she get away from wearing it? Does she know you aren't allowed to wear them at school? It's against the school rules. Why does she have no excuse for wearing PE shorts? Why does she only wear jeans and no skirt?

Do you wonder, that maybe there is another side of that girl? Another person. The girl who is always smiling? Maybe she's not all she seems. Do you wonder she's hiding something away from the rest of the world, not wanting to tell a single soul? Hiding it all inside her and making her feel bad about herself. Maybe if you look deeper inside those eyes, you can find out all of these questions for yourself.

Do you Wonder?
