None of his classmates actually wanted to have much to do with him.
This had been the cause of a number of lectures from teachers. They wanted to see greater mixing and interaction with the boy. Most teachers didn’t try to hide the fact that the boy came across as being a little odd. However, they wanted to see a genuine effort being made by the whole class. All through the term most of them truly tried to communicate with him, without success. They found it very hard to be sociable with him when he wasn’t interested.
In the main, they found it extremely hard to get over the fact that he liked to spend his time, standing in the corner of the playground, playing rock, paper and scissors… on his own!
