▪︎ Normal POV ▪︎

The classroom was dead silent, you could hear a pin drop.

On one side of the room sat Tyler, tapping his fingers lightly on the desk.
He looked across the room to the girl in green, sitting at her desk, muttering something.

He rolled his eyes slightly, but none the less, still kept an eye on her.
A loud yelp made his heart stop, he whirls his head towards Miriam, who was looking at her hands.

It took a bit for Tyler to realize what she down to herself.

Tangled in her fingers, was thin strands of her curly Chestnut hair.
One of her braids a horrible undone mess.

She had pulled out her hair...

She.Pulled.Out.Her.Hair!

Tyler stared at her with wide eyes, in complete disbelief at what he just saw.
Miriam started pulling at her hair again, more strands falling onto the desk.

Without thinking, Tyler stood up and raced across the room, grabbing a hold of her wrist.

Miriam looked at him shocked, her arm was shaking as Tyler undid her braids and let her hair fall down.
" Are you nuts or something!? You're hurting yourself ya nerd!," Tyler shouts, taking off her knitted beanie and threw it on the desk.
Miriam didn't say anything as he got finished with her hair.
" There, it won't hurt as much now, want water or something?," Tyler asked, walking towards his backpack and pulled out two cokes.
He placed one in front of her and sat beside her.

Miriam looked at the soda and tried to open it with shaky hands, Tyler leaned over and opened the can for her.
" Thanks," Miriam muttered, taking a sip of her soda, tapping it gently.
" Don't mention it loser," Tyler replied, leaning back in his chair slightly.

The two sat silently, Tyler's eyes never leaving Miriam's green frame.

She was actually pretty cute with her hair down.

After another 20 minutes, the teacher came into the room and dismissed them for the day.

The two stood outside, silently waiting for their respected parent to come pick them up.
Tyler watches as Miriam starts pulling at her hair once again.
He hesitantly reached out and took her hand, giving it a comforting squeeze.

He looked away slightly.
" If you're gonna pull at something, pull on my bracelet, not your hair, idiot," Tyler huffed, smiling slightly as he feels Miriam start playing with his bracelet.
A large magenta colored truck pulled up in front of them, the window rolled down.

A young man sat in passenger seat, he eyed the two preteens, then turning his attention to Miriam.

Miriam looked down and held Tyler's hand, tapping her leg.
" Miri? Are you okay sweetie?," He asked softly, only to be pushed slightly down, another boy behind him.
" Your in like, so much trouble when you get home," He pointed out, getting roughly whacked in the head by the driver of the truck.
" I swear if you don't sit down, she's already upset enough," The oldest of the three snapped, unlocking the car door.

Miriam cleared her throat and looked towards Tyler who had an amused look on his face.
" Tyler, theses are my sister and brothers, Minnie Marvin and Marcos," She explained, still holding his hand tightly in hers, this made Marcos smirk and laugh.
