I sit next to him Do you want some company?
yeah. I don’t mind company.
DesertRoseCharm
I look at him What happened?
I had RAD when I was 5 years old. my parents always hated me, neglected and abused me with belts and stuff as punishment for misbehaving in school or doing something wrong.
DesertRoseCharm
I am a new student who just transferred here.

DesertRoseCharm
I'm sitting in class when he walks in
Raoul would slowly walk into the classroom and he looked around to find a seat
DesertRoseCharm
I sit next to him Hey, want to talk?
He looks over at you and he nods Sure. I don’t mind talking.

he sighs I’m fine. it’s just my past that bothers me sometimes.
DesertRoseCharm
I sit quietly listening to him talk
I continue talking about my mental health and past abuse
DesertRoseCharm
I sit down what is RAD?
RAD stands for Reactive Attachment Disorder it’s a mental health disorder that affects children who have been abused or neglected as young children. the disorder can cause them to be very distrustful of others and make it hard for them to form healthy relationships
DesertRoseCharm
I look at him. "hey...you okay?"
he looked at her “yeah, I’m fine. why do you ask?”
DesertRoseCharm
I'm a girl who's new at this school um...hello?
Hello. I haven’t seen you around here before. You new here?
DesertRoseCharm
She looks at him. Hi, I'm DesertRoseCharm...I heard about what happened to you and wanted to see if you're okay?
He looks at her and he nods a little
