That Kid.

You know that kid in your class that you know exists but that’s all you really know about him? You know, that kid who doesn’t really talk as much as you’d expect him to, as much as you would even want him to? You know that kid you know looks different, acts different, does things differently, so differently that you find yourself tempted to call him dorky? You know that kid who doesn’t really look like he has a story to tell but something tells you that he indeed does have a story, perhaps a story too good for anyone to listen to? You know that kid who just is always gloomy but is surprisingly good at hiding his gloomy side? You know that kid who always sits in the corner of the room because he doesn’t want any more attention than what he receives in that corner? You know that kid who doesn’t talk much and almost never is the one to initiate a conversation but when you talk to him he talks to you with absolutely nothing to hide? You know that kid who you never really have wanted to know about until you’ve had your first words with him? You know that kid who you never cease to wonder about because of your very first words with him? You know that kid who has so much to say but never says any of what he wants to say because he just knows nobody in this whole world would understand a thing or a word that he does or says? You know that kid who isolates himself voluntarily because that’s what is best for him or so he believes? You know that kid who you know is capable and good enough to be your best friend but you doubt if you can be the same or even do the same for him? You know that kid whom you are sure would understand every single one of your problems but you aren’t sure if you could do the same for him even though you know he probably wouldn’t expect you to do so? You know that kid you are always curious about but you also know that he probably doesn’t feel the same way about you because he just is so lost in his own little universe? That beautiful kid? No? Don’t know him? Ah, how I wish I could take you to him.
