Chapter Two

The next day in school I watched him most the day until lunch came. During lunch, I decided to go talk to him and try to gain his trust. I walked up to him and he sat in trepidation yelling "Please don't take my lunch money butch already took it!" I had no clue who butch was but I responded "I don't want the lunch money I saw you sitting over here and thought you needed a friend." He responded quietly "Why would you want to be my friend" I made up a quick lie and responded, "I know what its like to be alone I'm new to this school and think no one deserves to be alone."

For a minute he sat contemplating my words un till he finally said "Eh I guess you're right". I politely asked if I could sit with him and he replied with not a care in the world "Why not?" I sat down and we started talking about his interests and family. I didn't really care but I made him believe I did. I needed to earn his trust.

After school, I followed him home and something seemed off about him I slowly approached him. He didn't seem to notice me. I yelled his name he didn't answer. I went home to try and make sense of it all.
