To be seated next to you feels like taking a seat next to a wall

- Primary classmate

I was shocked to hear that coming from my former classmate. I thought she somewhat enjoyed being around me. We never talked much, but that's how it has been. When I was in primary school, my mother would always requests me to take a seat with a girl--because she's concerned with how I could not focus with my studies, or getting bad influence from the boys.

Maybe that's what grows me to be not too close with the boys, and certainly could not make friends well with girls either, since playing with girls mostly make a shame out of myself.
