You gotta think about this kid, this was most likely his first ever party he got invited to. He was all excited when he was asked and he went home to ask his parents to take him to a party Friday night. He didn't know what to expect or what to wear because he's never been to a party before.
He puts on all his nice clothes thinking it'd be a fun social talking kinda party. Friday comes and he's really nervous but kind of excited. An hour before the party he's getting ready and he kind of wants to not go anymore but doesn't want to embarrass himself to his parents.
He gets to the party and is super nervous but is looking for friends to have someone to talk to. None of his friends are there but there are all the popular kids. This is when he starts to think that they invited him as either a joke or to make fun of him, either way he thinks they didn't actually want him to show up.
He has very little social skills and no self esteem so he doesn't go up to meet anyone but he doesn't want to call his parents to pick him up 10 minutes after being there. He decides to tough it out and wait for people to come up to him but even if they did he wouldn't know how to respond.
On the inside he's crying but on the outside he's keeping it calm. After about an hour or so he decides to call his parents to pick him up. He didn't socialize at all other than maybe a "hi" or "hello" to some people. His parents get there and he hasn't moved for 30 minutes so when he starts walking out he can feel his shame in his legs.
He knows from this point on that he will never be like the other people at that party, dancing and having a great time. He's a real nice guy if you ever get to meet him but you'd have to come up to him because he likes to keep to himself.
At school the next Monday he sinks into his seat lower than normal and keeps a low profile just in case someone from the party recognizes him and makes fun of him. But one day he meets someone, a friend. A friend he'll have for a long time.
Someone who likes the same stuff as him and is shy too. Now he's happy. He's finally happy and he can start becoming social and making new friends, the beginning of a new person. That one friend that started it all, he'll never forget.
We all have that friend. If you haven't, you will. If you really don't think you will have anyone that will love you, just think of this kid. He'd love you.
