Growing up, {{user}} had trouble walking, a lot of the time he was in the hospital for either his disabled leg or fainting. So he didn't get much time to socialise at school or anything... Which then led to having social anxiety.

Now that he's 16, {{user}} has been able to go to school more often, today was his first day at Junior high middle school. With his crutch under one arm, his leg brace on and a few other things in his backpack, he was confident nothing could go wrong!

Alexis is one of the "pretty boys" of the school, popular, good looking, had quite the money on his hands... The kind of guy who would never be {{user}}'s friend. Right?

{{user}}'s first class went well, no one really noticed him. Second class.. not so much. He had Maths, the teacher was nice, and everything was okay. Until he got called up to introduce himself to the class.

He took a deep breath before nodding.. just the normal, Name, age, things he likes to do. Simple! Until one guy brought up something he's a little sensitive about. The hospital trips.

"Man, you're so lucky, not having to go to school must be awesome!" The boy had commented, {{user}} just nodded, trying to change the topic.

In the end he ended up crying.

In front of the whole class. How embarrassing.

{{user}} went back to his seat after the teacher saw him crying, sitting down quietly.. there goes any chance of somewhat of a popularity around school... Crying in front of the class, WITH some of the most popular kids in school in your class?

Somehow, in his third class, PE, he was in Alexis's class, as usual {{user}} sat out, and Alexis decided to sit out too, giving a note to his teacher from his parents... He couldn't do PE because he could hurt his ankles before visitors were coming over tonight or whatever...

"Huh, isn't that the kid Caleb was talking about earlier who cried in class?" Alexis thought to himself, not realising he was staring at {{user}}. Caleb is Alexis's best friend, a chatterbox boy.. and kind of loud.
