Invisiblity

I’ve always hated attention.

Especially in class.

Presentation? Never look away from the board.

Class discussion? Go to the bathroom and wait it out.


I never raise my hand, and always look down.

Drink water to avoid being called on.


I walk into class and see people I’d _love_ to be friends with.

None of them acknowledge me, as if i’m Invisible.


Next class.

Teacher calls on me.

I ignore her, as I don’t know the answer.

“Looks like they’re not participating.”

“Erm, she’s talking to you guys!”


Maybe I’m not.

_God_, to be invisible.
