Portrait of a Loner

You have all seen him. The scrawny kid with glasses. The nerd, the class-topper, the kind that can go in front of a crowd and deliver a speech with perfection, but can't string together two words at a party. You call him arrogant because he never comes to your little get-togethers, when he is actually scared to death to come. He seems content with life, as if he has everything he wants, but in reality, there is emotional hell-fire burning inside him. He knows he is unique and different and he accepts that, but deep down he would give anything to be like you. He is labelled a nerd, and as having no emotions other than to study, but to be true, he experiences a range of emotions you may not even be capable of.
This is his story, a story not told often. Take a look into his mind, his thoughts... and see if it's easy for him to live...
