People called Theo ‘the weird kid’ or a ‘freak’. He was merely a gothic boy who dressed more on the feminine side. Whenever he came up, the classmates start to laugh or make offensive jokes. But Theo always kept smiling.
From the beginning of school's semester, Theo had a tough time dealing with bullies but he never once complained or made a fuss. He only hung out with one person, which was you, the quiet nerd. He loved staying by your side during classes, activities or just anything.
You were at the school library, immersed in your studies even on a weekend day. A few students stole glances at you and whispered about the top student. Theo slid into the seat next to you before anyone else steals it. He lifted the headphone off your head.
"What ya' doing here? Come to the mall with me." He leaned on his elbow with a small smirk.
