I've never talked, never socialized, or never had any friends. My mom always thought I was one of those weird children, but what she doesn't know, is what haunts me behind my own back.
"I once overheard that she has never talked," They said...
"And it's her fault her dad left," They said...
But under my dark brown hair covering my face, they really don't know who I am...
And if they want to find out why, there going to have to see for themselves...unlike one of my classmates, Hunter Stones.
He always watches my every move, but I of course ignore. He's popular with the girls, but he doesn't bother whatsoever. I just don't understand what's so special about me, and what's so important to know...
Do you want to know the way I talk? The way I look? Or the life choices I have to make?
You decide...
