the 'sped' kid in my class sat in his seat and had his face red. not with anger but with sadness. and what was everyone doing? making fun of him.."tomato!" "ew hes so weird" "isint he stupid or something?" "hes acoustic" i sat down next to him and smiled softly. "hi, im sam its lovely to meet you. may i work with you?" i spoke with kind words. he looked up at me like i was an angel sent from heaven. he nodded and moved his bag. i sat down next to him, and i noticed his dinosaur bracelet. i smiled, "i like dinosaurs to" his face lit up with excitement. his face wasint red anymore, it was smiling and had a bunch of life in it. "can i show you my collection!" i smiled knowing i made this kids day so much better. "yes id love to see it!" i said with the same energy. everyone laughed at me because i was "hanging with the autistic kid" i didint mind tho. i knew what he felt..i knew how lonely it got. i knew how much it stucked to be the only one in the class with "something wrong with you" after the bell rang that day..he walked up to me, gave me a peice of gum and then hugged me. he hugged me tight. i never really got hugs so when i got this i was taken a-back. "oh-" was all that came out. "thanks for being my frined.." he whispered. i rubbed his head and smiled, "anytime you need me" and ever sense. he followed me around school and we became really good friends. i was the only one there for him..i found out later that year i stopped him from committing suicide. be there for the ones who scream for help. even if its just a smile. give your smile to someone else without one.
