He started to play with the grass in front of him. [color=ed1c24]"I never really had friends myself. Not in kindergarten, not in middle school and not in high school. They were all afraid of me."[/color] He was kind of scolding himself for actually being honest like that, but this is the first time he has ever been able to actually share this with someone. [color=ed1c24]"My father always told me they were a waste of time and that they would only ever get in your way in life. I didn't want to believe that and continued trying to make friends."[/color] He cast down his gaze. [color=ed1c24]"It didn't matter. "Freak", "Psycho", "Monster", those were the things they'd call me. They never even gave me a chance to show them that I could truly be a good friend..."[/color] He realized he was running his mouth off, and stopped there before he went into the really deep stuff. [i][color=9e0b0f]'Jeez, I've never been so open in my life. Not even to my parents. I guess I can just hope that sharing something personal will make her trust me more.'[/color][/i]
