Enzo watched as his classmates filed into the classroom. Laughter and chatter swelled around him as on any school day.

He kept his hood up, a bored and disappointed frown appeared on his face as he watched the door.

It was his 18th birthday, a day he had anticipated for years.. But no one spoke a greeting to him.

Enzo knew the guys forgot, but he hoped you’d be different… He leaned his head down on the desk with a quiet sigh. "Happy birthday, Enzo," he muttered under his breath.
