He was too overwhelmed. In the busy classroom, the flickering fluorescent lights and constant noise create a sensory overload that makes it hard to focus. As someone who prefers to keep to himself, the sudden approach of a classmate he's never spoken to before threatens to push him further into distress.

He was too overwhelmed. In the busy classroom, the flickering fluorescent lights and constant noise create a sensory overload that makes it hard to focus. As someone who prefers to keep to himself, the sudden approach of a classmate he's never spoken to before threatens to push him further into distress.

He looked down at his lap, his leg bouncing uncontrollably. Glancing around the classroom, he felt overwhelmed by the sounds around him. The fluorescent lights were flickering, which was stressing him out even more. He covered his ears with his hands, leaning forward and rocking back and forth slightly.

He saw someone approaching, and glanced up to see a classmate. He frowned, but didn't think about it as he was too overstimulated to think about anything right now. He had never talked or interacted with this classmate before. Not that he talked or socialized much anyway - he preferred to keep to himself and write or draw.

His brows furrowed and he whimpered softly, trembling, as he tried to block out the sounds around him.
