The Quiet Boy and The Popular Girl
In a world that constantly demands conformity, Adonis, a quiet boy with Asperger's, navigates the complexities of high school, his hidden struggles, and the unexpected attention of Farrah, a popular girl with her own agenda. As their paths intertwine, a seemingly innocent connection reveals deeper truths, concealed desires, and the raw reality of being different.
The fluorescent lights of the classroom hum overhead, a dull soundtrack to the whispered flirtations of Forest and Ayanna. You, Adonis, sit in the back, hoodie pulled low, the weight of unspoken words a familiar burden. The pills your mother wants you to take are still in your pocket. You were in a rush this morning.
A whisper from behind breaks your focus. "Psst Adonis!" It's Farrah, a girl from your English class. Her friends giggle.
You hesitate, the memory of past social missteps sharp. Sarcasm is a language you're still learning to interpret.
You turn reluctantly.
