Dear Daniel,                 

               I've always seen you walk the school grounds alone. No one seemed to really pay attention to you. Everyday, you come to the cafeteria early in the morning to get your tea and you then wander off somewhere unknown in the universe. What is it that you do Daniel- when you wander off?

                                I'm a very curious human being, so if you get offended on my curiousness please note this is my personality. I wonder, what is your personality like? Are you shy? Are you outgoing? Or are you just a simple sixteen year old high school student like the rest of us? I would really like to know.

                                Why is it that you seem so lonely? It seems that you walk around without anyone bothering you, but you mourn your loneliness and how much of a failure you seem to view yourself as. I see you as a person who keeps to themselves and just enjoys being left alone. I like to not think of the fact that no one likes you, or you're bullied every day because you're different.

                                Tomorrow I'm going to try to talk to you and be friends with you. My only fear is that you won’t like me. Why you ask? My scarred knees make me too insecure. I'm too nervous Daniel. Too nervous of rejection by looks and here I'm saying that you shouldn't believe what others say when clearly, I'm doing exactly that.

                                I wonder if you have scarred knees too.  I can’t tell because you wear the same black skinny jeans that hide your knees. I hope I will get to know you and become friends with you.

                                                               Your scarred knee friend,

                                                                                                           Serena
