I am buzzing here telling his story...

 
He is seating at the corner, unmoved, his body and his view.
Straight in front of him are his school mates, Emma; a lovely girl with hair down until her shoulder and talking to her is the most popular guy in their class, Matthew. Both look incomparably suit each other, the most elegant and outstanding couple, they seem to take the image of great majesties when paired together. She is from different class but when it comes to recess time, this is their habitual activity. Sometimes they meet up in her classroom, the other time, the cafeteria, next, the library would become their target- for sure their main objective in their daily routine is to meet each other.

Sigh~

He is still looking at them, absorbedly. The raucous mood of recess break does not bother him at all, not even a pinch of his concentration. His eyes are watching sharply, not with glare full of envious or jealousy, but with a sorrowful gaze. Might be that time his mind is wondering why is he sitting alone while the others are happily socializing. Or why he seems to be isolated in the corner of the classroom whereas other people do not seem to have problems approaching other fellow and start a conversation? Or probably his mind is jam-packed with question on how his classmates are able to open their mouths and spit words by words slickly. We can see there is a slight disappointment on his face of perhaps his thought of his disability.

The bell rings; telling that recess break is over but Edison still cannot get rid of the thought. His mind is still clutching to the reality that he is in fact all alone, different from his fellow classmates or probably the whole school society. Emma went back to her classroom and thus that perishes Edison’s heavy mental activity. No more targets to be thought of. He never cared about his lonely state before but since a short time ago, his mind has started to think heavily on that subject. Whenever he sees a merry group of students chatting among themselves, couples walking hand in hand or a family happily having their meal somewhere, he started to heed the fact that he is lonely, thus strikes his callings for companions.

Why? How actually does this thing invade his mind? Adolescent phase might be the peak of curiosity of a teenager like him but is that really the main case here? To have a clear nicety, let us go back to Edison's life four weeks ago. As we travel reverse time, Edison's existence in the world also drives backwards.We are going to a place where ingenuousness still lingers onto the heart of a 15 year old junior high school student. At this moment, the feelings of lonesome, isolation and disappointment are not even a portion of his real solid life's lexicon. From his birth until at this point of his life, he has been living in an invincible barrier of arrogant yet childish ignorance but any moment now, things are going to change.
