The Quiet Kid
There is always that one kid in class. The one who never speaks. Sitting alone in the back of the classroom just trying not to be noticed or seen. It always seems to work, they just fade into the shadows disappearing just to be lost in the world without any notice. Deep down they want to be known. Deep down they want to be heard but this lingering fear deep in their mind whispers that if they are seen they will be hurt or made fun of. So they just sit their, remain quiet, and keep to themselves. They live in a quiet place amongst all the noise of the world telling them things to ruin their self esteem. They fear the unknown and everything that can't be controled. Their life is in chaos because they are stuck in their head.
