nobody wanted to talk to him.
he was the outcast of the school, and somehow, that made her heart reach out for him. not because she pitied him, but rather, because she knew exactly how it felt like to be ignored and casted aside.

you don't understand.
being invisible isn't about people hating you, it was about people not even knowing you exist.
