A world of my own? Not today.

I'm trying to conquer Algebra! I want to beat it into submission. I had my first exam today. When I leave my house I'm usually in my own world. I don't associate with anyone unless I'm at workstudy. I wear my headphones outside of class. I don't really want to converse with anyone I need to concentrate. I was doing just that today and someone entered my world. He called my name as I'm studying, young white kid. I just kind of stare at him because he's not my kind...he's not loc'd, he's not older, he's not black, he's not in my world. He looks at me with this goofy grin and says...."I really like your hair!" I'm not speechless just not feeling social but I remember my home training and say thank you and go back to my note cards(yes I have note cards for algebra! and?). His friends laugh at him and tell him he doesn't stand a chance. I act like I don't hear them. In my world they don't exist. Not today, probably not tomorrow either.
