'The Deaf Kid' is what that one kid in the corner is called, named by the class. Really, his name is Fern. Why is he in a corner? Because he's tried three times today to fit in and each time, he's gotten either laughed at, pushed away or teased.

The poor kiddo in the corner had his eyes filled with tears as he sniffled and hiccupped, but was noticed by no one, not even the teacher, but you saw him.
