After what felt like hours I found myself in a corner. I had stopped running, breathlessly panting for air, after what I saw... I couldn't help but slouch down and start crying. My eyes felt like overflowing faucets. A few minutes later I heard footsteps, they were coming closer. I lifted my head to see who's there, it was my science teacher Mrs. Peterson. She was short around 5'3", with long brown hair neatly tied up in a bun, and a lovely set of green eyes behind her glasses. She looked worried.
"Oh my, are you ok Romana?" she asked worriedly. crouching down to my level and placing a hand on my shoulder.
"I could be a lot better, but right now it's not about how I feel is it?" I gave her a question back. She paused, looked to the side and around the corner to make sure no one was eavesdropping.
"The principal wants to see you about the incident in the men's room earlier today..." Mrs. Peterson helped me up, gave me a tissue, and helped me up from where I was sitting on the cold concrete ground of the courtyard.
"Principal Johnson saw you run out of the bathroom from the security camera, why were you crying?" She had questioned me yet again. I wanted to change the subject we were talking about for the time being or until we got to Principal Johnson's office, but there was no way around it, her riveting stare scared me into submission.
"Mrs. Peterson... I found Kade..." My voice was shaking as I hung my head down, tears started to well up again. "He was dead... I watched while he ate my friend..." I started crying again, Mrs. Peterson embraced me. She made me feel safe, it felt nice...
"Shh... shh... You're ok now." Mrs. Peterson put on a smile, but I could tell it was just to make me feel better.
