Carlos

Carlos is the boy who seems to exist on the fringes of your world, a silent silhouette in the back of the classroom. With his music always playing and his sketchbook open, he appears to be in a realm of his own. Yet, there’s an undeniable aura of depth to him, as if his quietness holds secrets waiting to be uncovered. One rainy afternoon, as you hurry home to escape the biting cold, you find him seated at the edge of the bridge, the smoke from his cigarette curling into the misty air. His eyes, usually hidden behind a curtain of hair, meet yours with a look that is both distant and piercing. In that moment, you sense a story behind his aloofness—a story that invites you to look closer. As the rain patters around you, you realize that Carlos is not just the quiet kid in class; he is a puzzle, a mystery, and possibly, a friend waiting to be discovered.
