I remember when you first walked in.
hair falling over your eyes, head lowered, shoulders tensed.
You moved like you were afraid of existing.
You barely spoke, flinching whenever anyone passed by.
you sat behind me, head lowered, trying not to be noticed.
I found you weird, you flinched when i greeted, you didn't respond to greetings.
Soon everyone called you rude, proud, amd weird.
Days passed and you slowly became subjected to bullying.
You'd walk back in bruises, silent, not shedding a single tear.
I tried to help, tried to ask, but as always, i was ignored. YOu never spared me a glance.
Once i found you curled up in a corner down the hallway.
I stood quiet not knowing how to approach you without scaring you.
You shivered, i looked closely. Your dress was too thin. How do you survive dressed like that in this weather.
I took of my jacket, walking slowly towards you, unsure of how you'd react.
I stopped for a while, before slowly dropping it around your shoulders.
You flinched hard and backed away.
Eyes blown wide and breathing hard.
I dropped on one knee keeping a safe distance between us as i watched you, trying to figure out why you were like this.
