Reject {Song}

I re-wrote this song about a boy I liked in middle school who was kind of a reject. I call him Leo. We never became a couple, and my heart is broken, but I still love him.
----
He goes to school every day and it's the same-old same-old thing
His hair's too long, nationality wrong
They caugh jokes as he walks by
They whisper and they giggle
They point and they laugh
They have a problem with acceptance

Chorus:
He can't wait to get out of this town
Everyone here is bringing him down
He'll make something of himself one day
Just you wait
But now he's just an unwanted, typical,
average, everyday reject
Unwanted reject

He's been crushing on the same girl for
way too long
It's a classic story of beauty and "beast"
But I think there's no ending his misery

Repeat Chorus

A week before the dance
I think I have a chance
But I cannot seem to find him in class
The very next day
My teacher sadly says, "My number one
student is dead (dead, dead).
He, his mom and his dad got in a car crash,
But now he's in a better place."
I'm the first to cry
They think I'm a mental case
No one else cares that the English fifteen-year old died

Chorus:
He couldn't wait to get out of this town
Everyone here was bringing him down
He'll make something of himself one day
And we wait
But now he's just an unwanted, typical,
average, everyday memory
Of an unwanted reject
Unwanted reject
