Another sleepless night. I'm sure it isn't good for me to lack so much sleep, but what am I supposed to do about it? Oh well.

Yesterday something weird happened. And I don't mean that everyone ignored me instead of bullying me for a straight week. Because while that was weird, this probably takes the cake.

Some kid named Cole told off some bullies in the lunchroom. And as if that wasn't already brain breaking, he touched me and asked if I was okay. My entire life and NO ONE has done that or even remotely considered it for a moment.

I don't know what to think. He's nice, but he's also a bit nosy. Or that's how he came across to me anyway. But he seemed very genuine, as if he actually cared and wasn't just put up to it.

I just have no clue as to why someone would sit next to me at lunch and ruin their social reputation with everyone else. It makes no sense to me.

I may thank him someday. But I don't want to get vulnerable with him yet. I barely know him after all.

I just needed to write all this down. I'm not sure what to think of all this, but I'll work it out eventually. I always have before.
