90 days

At the back of the class is where I sat for every lesson of everyday

No one next to me

On my own

The way it should be

The way I deserve to be treated

Like a freak

Like a mute

That is just what everyone thinks of me so I go along with it

Just to fit in

To know my place

And stay where I belong

But today was different

The seat next to mine was occupied by my old friend Luke

"Hey"

I looked at him blankly

That's new

Well that's not happened for a while

It's not new

Because that used to happen all the time

When we were friends

Before I was the freak

Before I was the mute

I still hadn't replied

I don't remember the last time I spoke

I remember speaking of course

Just not the last things I said

It was too long ago

An age ago

Ago.
