Courage:

                Life carried on as usual in my own little silent world. Everything was the same.. not better, but the same. There's a thought that I can't quite comprehend..

"What's so different about me anyways. Why does Ishi- does he not enjoy my presence?" 

              This was what has settled in my mind for years now. It was agitating, but I tried my best to shove it down and hope to neglect it somehow. I shall no longer ponder about my grade-school days. It- It's going to be okay.

              Well, that's what I thought. I met him again. The boy I once tried to satisfy, the one I hastened my mixed emotions at, and the one who I plastered my kindest smile for. He stood there, hands quickly brought up in an awkward swift. Then, signed a couple words of greeting. It appalled me, he learned sign language- Was it for me? I shouldn't think of such a trivial thought. I was discombobulated-I don't know what to say or do. So, I ran away, rushing to get away from the boy I once knew. Rushing away from my own quandary. Maybe I am a coward, or I think I lacked the confidence.
