I'm the type of girl that stays in her box, the thing is... I don't want to leave that box. I constantly walk the hallowed hallways in the adolescent version of jail, I put my earphones in and basically leave our world entirely, music is my escape. 

No one bothers to talk to me, I sit in class alone, I sit on the bus alone... you name a common activity and I can guarantee I do it alone. The only person that ever talks to me in school is Mr Carter, he finds fun in forcing me to speak publicly! 'Uhm Elaine could you read this for the class?', if I wasn't so introverted.... I would confront him and let him know that I would rather be buried alive then be forced to partake in public speaking. 

The only place I feel comfortable to speak truthfully and openly is online, hiding behind a screen is way easier then speaking face-to-face. Don't let this shy act fool you, I can be extroverted and happy... just not with the high school phonies. I make friends online with people I have no chance of meeting, the best part is there aren't any strings attached to the relationships I form. I met a guy online once, his name was Xavier Hart. My relationship with Xavier was different... it was special. I will never emotionally be the same after meeting Xavier. It is time I relive the romantic tragedy of me, Elaine Foster, and him, Xavier Hart.
