You know the kid. They often wear darker clothes, though it isn't necessary. Normally, this kid will talk to an elite few classmates who don'tbug them, make fun of them, or bring them into irrelevant conversations. When you get to know that quiet kid, you can discover they are an individual person with lots of funny thoughts inside. They simply choose to keep them there. When they choose to let their thoughts out, the students laugh, but they're usually good kids, so the teacher's let it slide. Some speak more "properly" than others, depending on their sense of humor.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.
Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.
A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.
A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."
