Mae

The bathroom

I followed Jessica into the bathroom to give her some advice. She didn't see me walk in, she was to busy crying about those horrible bees.
"Hi, I'm Mae"
She responded with a sniffle
"I uh... I saw what happened back there, you know with the bees."
"The what?" Jessica asked.
"The bees, oh um, that's what I call Bella Becca and Brooklyn , the girls who made you cry."
"Oh, where did you get that from?"
"Well, I'm kind of a book worm... I've read a lot about people like Bella Becca and Brooklyn, they act like the queen bees of the school, you know like actual bees."
Jessica laughed.
"And I was new last year, so I was their target. I wish someone would've been there for me last year, so I figured you would want the same thing."
"You are definitely beeing very helpful right now."
"Um, thanks." I replied not getting the joke.
"Will you help me look beeutiful like I did before I started crying?" Asked Jessica.
"Of course I will." I replied finally getting the joke.
We laughed at the horrible joke and then I helped Jessica wash her face in the sink. After she was all cleaned up, we walked out of the bathroom.
"What's your next class?" Jessica asked me.
"Social studies."
"Me too!! Can you show me where it is?"
"Of course" I replied.
As we were walking down the hallway we passed those horrible bees, but we kept are heads up and tried to ignore their whispers as we walked into social studies.
