Flight

Hugh was in class, and the class was working on a project.

Something triggered them, but they couldn't figure out what it was.

Their mind suddenly started racing at 100 km/hr.

I want to leave! Just leave me alone!

They couldn't focus, couldn't function, and the voices in their head were too loud, too fast, too quick.

I want this to be over I want this to be over so badly help I don't know what to do I have a problem this is me being anxious.

The kid pretended to be working so that no red flags would be made to show that they were in distress.

I really need to freak out. But I can't. Keep it together.

Slightly panicking they ran out of the classroom as soon as the teacher announced that class was over.

Just stop thinking! Ahhhhhhhhh I don't want to do this anymore! I can't, please, I just can't please, help.

"Hey Hugh," Their friend caught up to them in the hallway. "Are you okay? You haven't said a single word the whole class."

"Yeah, I'm fine," The kid lied.

I can't bother my friend with my problems.

Their friend looked at the blank stare on their face but said nothing else.

"Okay, tell me if you need anything, yeah?"

"Yea, I'm good. I won't need anything." Hugh faked a smile and started to slowly walk to the next class.
