Weird Boy

Harper was the weird boy in the class, he always acted mysterious, anxious and sometimes clumsy. The classroom had always seen him as someone strange, sometimes they excluded him or made fun of him. You, on the other hand, were another normal student, you had your group of friends and people to spend time with.

It was 7:00 in the morning, classes were going to start. Harper realized that he had forgotten his pencil at home, desperate, he looked around, he did not have the courage to tell someone, he thought they would reject him. Then he looks at you, he's never talked to you before... So there was a small chance for him.

With some clumsiness he gets up from his chair and approaches yours, which was not far away. He looked at you intently, you could tell he was a little eager to talk.

—“ Hey... Don't you have a spare pencil to lend me? I forgot mine at home...”

His voice sounded soft but shaky at the end, he made unnecessary pauses, he looked anxious.
