Melancholy

A deaf and melancholy morning

Melancholy

A feeling of sadness with unknown reason or reasons.

That's what I feel melancholy.
Like I'm sad and I have no idea why.

I'm popular, and feared by the younger kids. I have a group of friends that are also well liked.

I haven't been physically hurt like not punched, slapped, or kicked.

So I know that's not the reason.

Maybe I'm just a little put off by the principal who called me in here. I didn't get in trouble, it's the week before summer ends and he wants me to show a kid around this hellhole.

I sat outside the office, and waited.

Mr.Quinn walked out with a 15 year old boy and introduced us. He  said, get to it and walked off.

Deaf

The lack of hearing, one of the 5 senses.

That's what he was, a boy of no hearing, so we communicated by writing in a notepad.

His name was Adam Williams, he was almost as tall as me, but not quite there. He had a bunch of hair that covered his eyes that was a carmal color.

One thing should be known about this boy, and it's not that he's deaf, it's that he wears a mask. A mask made out of a paper plate.

He wore a black jacket, with a pair of regular jeans and a satchel. 

He's not that bad of a kid, and he's a total goof, but not in a bad way. He uses his disability to be a joker.

They say comedy comes from a dark place. I'm certain that this kid has been to hell and back.

Maybe that's why he wears a mask. He could be an ugly person and has been made fun of. Maybe he's insecure and handsome underneath it.  Who knows.

Depleting

The drainage of energy or resources

Our time together was depleting. The boy of mystery and I were nearing the end of our journey. As we walked down the stairwell we took a seat at the fountain. We wrote down our thoughts and experiences and learned more and more things about each other.

This was turning out to be a rather joyful day.
