Do any other than me feel so empty inside all the time? All my classmates, no, my whole school seems to be so happy all the time, and exited about getting to hang out with their friends, I don't have such joy. No one wants to be my friend because. I'm depressed, and self hurting. They can see it, my scars, and that creeps everyone out. So no one wants to get close to me, thinking I might hurt them too. I would never. "Hey you guys, the new guys here!" Someone shouted in the bus, I couldn't hear it really well because I was listening to my music, and looking out the window.  

When I heard everyone talking so loud I turned and saw the new kid sitting on my seat (It's a two mans seat, don't get it wrong) He didn't talk to me, just talked to the others, I didn't mind, as long as I got to listen to my music in peace. 

"Hey there, I'm Zyphyr!" the new kid said while tabbing me on my shoulder. "Kyle" I answered.

He wouldn't stop talking to me, I didn't reply with much but he still kept talking, like we had been friends for years or something. I also found out he was in the same class as me, which was kind of troubling since he talked so much in the bus. But he was actually quite during class, and was listening to what the teacher said, unlike me, I was just drawing some sketches on my work paper. I didn't listen much either, and I to be honest think Zyphyr noticed and then came to help me. He explained it really well actually, much better than the teachers did. When break started he asked me to come to the cafeteria with him, I hesitated but he kept pushing so I ended up going anyway.   

I just sat down in a corner while he was buying the food.

When he came back he had bought a sandwich and some strawberry milk. "Wanna have a bite?" Zyphyr asked. "Nah, I already had some" I replied. "alright, more for me then!" 

I just sat scrolling on my phone while he was eating, I'm not gonna lie, it was nice just sitting with him. "By the way, what's with the bandages on your neck and hands?" Zyphyr asked. "It was my cat, his kind of energetic" I lied. "Geez, you don't say" Zyphyr said smiling. Before class started Zyphyr had asked me for my socials, so he could text me, not like I was special he asked most of our classmates so. But it was nice that he asked. When it was time to go home I was about to take the bus as usual, when I got on the bus to my usual seat Zyphyr came and sat next to me, he even took one of my earphones and listened to my music. "No way, you listen to this too?" He asked, "I sure do" When it was my time to get off the bus Zyphyr waved me goodbye and said "I'll text you later!" 

And that's pretty much how I became friends with the new kid. He's already so popular among boys, and girls. so I don't know why he would want to be close to me. But it's nice to finally have a friend.
