He sat in the back of every class, watching students he found even the least bit interesting.

Watching people in silence makes you learn more about a person.

Like how the popular girl takes weight loss pills before class starts. When everyone is too busy talking as much as they can before the bell rings forcing them to be quiet. Even if they had seen, they wouldn't think much of it.

'They're all to dumb' Michael always thought.

Or how the guy everyone makes fun of flicks his wrist under the desk with a rubber band everytime the attention is on him.

Though of course no one would even care.

Michael noticed that the boys only friend doesn't even listen to his feelings. He recalls one conversation about the boy with the rubber band telling his friend about his dying grandfather. To which he responded with a shrug, not really listening to what he was saying in the first place.

From time to time Michael felt bad, but it wasn't his place to care.

So he didn't.

He continued to stay known as 'the mute' and keep everyones secrets.

Even the silly stupid ones about stealing a pair of $5 sunglasses or paying for a cheap movie only to sneak into a expensive better one later.

Until someone talked to him.

And decided to learn everything about him instead, despite the fact he never talked back.
