Grayson stands on the crowded train, eyeing his upcoming exit. He overhears a group of classmates speaking about a party being held later on that night. ‘Dude, of course it’s going to be crazy, I heard her older brother is buying some alcohol.’ Grayson re-adjusts his hold on the railing, straining his ears to better hear. ‘Didn’t she invite the whole year level?’ states one of his classmates with an oblivious tone, befitting of someone who had never struggled to make friends. Grayson continues to listen on, knowing he hadn’t been invited to the party. He was fairly sure it stemmed from the fact that he came from a poor family, however, this didn’t bother him; Grayson would rather spend his time reading “The Short History of Nearly Everything”, than be around his classmates any more than he needed to.
