"Why don't you eat something?" I offered my food to him, which he denied politely.
"I ate in the morning, I don't feel hungry at this time." He clarified.
With an 'O' forming in my mouth I continued eating my food. I really liked this place, it was so tranquil, like he said.
"Have you been in this school since your junior classes?" I asked, breaking the eerie silence between us.
"Yes."
"What about you? This will be the last year of your high school, don't you miss your old friends?"
"I don't have any friends. You're the first one." I said gazing at the trees looking like small capsules from this height.
"I'm pleased to be your friend." He expressed his happiness, again giving a small smile towards me.
"Don't you feel uncomfortable? Being around me?" I asked skeptical about his intentions, why is he so good towards me unlike other kids?
"Why would I feel like that?" He questioned perplexed and I gazed downwards searching for the right words to speak.
"You know right, my face-"
"Why would that make me uncomfortable?" He enquired gazing into my orbs.
"They say I look like a monster and they aren't wrong though. My father died the day the huge fire broke out in our house, leaving me with this injury on my face."
