A small black haired boy sat by himself to the side of a wide open field. He couldn't have been any older then five or six years old. His left arm held light bruises that were almost faded away. He held onto his legs tightly, ignoring his surroundings. The field belonged to an elementary school that was well known in the area. A play structure wasn't that far away from it, and it was buzzing with a group of small children around the boy's age.
The children enjoyed themselves, paying no mind to the lone boy. They all knew better then to try to talk with that kid. No matter who tried, no one could get him to talk to them. It didn't help that there was something odd about that boy, almost like he was hiding something. The silence he sat in made trying to him impossible; it was just too awkward. Besides being quiet there was another thing about him that kept people away; he would freak out about his grades. If he got just one point off on his work he would freak out and beg the teacher for someway to make it. There were only two types of people that would actually try to talk to him; the teachers and the new kid.
A small group of about four kids were busily playing hot lava monster over by the balance beam. The kids waved their arms whenever they were close to falling, to avoid touching the bark chips. A brown haired boy stopped in mid wave and slipped off the balance beam. Te other kids playing giggled at how he fell, but that didn't matter to him. He had spotted a kid he hadn't seen yet; the lone boy.
The brown haired boy pointed over to the lone kid. "Who's he?" He asked.
"Timeout!" A brown haired girl yelled forming a 'T' with her hands. She jumped off from the balance bean and walked over to the brown haired boy. She squinted her eyes and then shrugged. "That's the kid that doesn't talk."
They boy looked at her with a confused look. "Why doesn't he talk?"
The girl shrugged again. "How am I supposed to know, I've never talked to him." She turned around and walked back to where she was before. Stepping onto the balance beam where she had been before, she cupped her hands around her mouth. "Time In!" With that the kids began to play their game again.
"I'm gonna go talk to him!" The boy said to himself quietly.
"Forget about him Green! " A kid near by said, this kid was still in the game and simply walked off, fleeing from the 'lava monster'.
The boy shook his head, he had made up his mind and no one was going to tell him to stop. Forgetting wasn't an option. Picking up his feet, he began to run over to the black haired boy.
The girl sighed looking at Green while he ran. "He's wasting his time." All the kids by her nodded in agreement, believing that Green was being an idiot.
Green slowed down when he got near the black haired boy. A grin came to his face when he raised his hand and waved. "Hey there kid." He said in a sing song voice. He was expecting the kid to jump up and marvel at the fact he was being talked to for once. This however wasn't the case, the black haired boy didn't move at all. "Hey Kid you there?"
There was no reply from the boy. He's just spacing out is all. Green thought to himself. "Hey kid, Stop spacin' out!" The grin slowly lowered into a somewhat annoyed expression. He waited for a minute for the boy to move, or to at least look at him. "Stop ignoring me kid!" His patients was running thin, how come this kid wasn't paying attention to him?
Green patted him on the shoulder. "Hey kid this is your last chance!" There was still no movement from the kid. He crossed his arms in frustration. "Fine kid your new name is Loser! How do you like that?" The grin came back. He has to respond to that. A few minutes passed and still no sign of any movement. Was this kid even real or was he some life like doll thing?
"Loser." Green said stretching the 'o' sound. He poked the boy on the shoulder. "Loser." He repeated each time his' finger met the boy's shoulder. The plan now was now to annoy him so much he had to talk or at least that's what happens with normal kids. This kid just sat there doing nothing. What was even going through this kid's mind? He couldn't possibly be spacing out at all.
The school's bell rang, recess was now over. Green let out a stressed sigh; he had gotten no where with this kid. He was about to turn around and head inside when the black haired boy stood up and shuffled back to the school doors. At least now he knew this kid was capable of doing something. Green now had a goal to achieve and he was determined to get it accomplished. He was going to get that kid to talk to him, even if it was the last thing he did.

Hot Lava Monster is pretty much a game where you pretend the ground is hot lava and if you touch it your out. There is someone who tries to make you touch the ground and that's the hot lava monster. Its a really fun game and gives you an excuse to climb all over stuff.
