Charismatic Air (1)

Even after playing baseball in front of 20,000 people, Ken had never felt as awkward as he did now. The stares from the 30 or so teenagers in front of him made it feel like he was naked and exposed.

"Alright thank you Ken, please take a seat next to Stephen." Mr. Johnson said, pointing to a vacant chair at the back of the class.

Ken breathed out a sigh of relief, quickly making his way to the specified seat. Even as he passed, the teens turned their heads and stared at him.

Only when he finally took a seat did people stop looking at him, however they broke into hushed whispers. Unfortunately this was almost worse than being stared at blankly.

'What did I do wrong?' Ken thought, his mind racing.

"Is he a model or something?"

"He's so tall and handsome…"

Ken's ears perked up, his eyes widening in shock. He caught a few words of the nearby students, making him question his hearing.
