Tyler POV

I ran to my tree as fast as I could

Feeling the tears fly past the sides of my face

"Stupid school"

"Stupid people"

I climbed the tree and sat on my branch

It's been a week since the boy first came here

He has come everyday since

Crying?

I sat waiting

I found myself becoming fond of the boy

But I don't have the courage to talk

I just sit cowardly

Then I heard some familiar foot steps

I turned around

Trying not to smirk

The boy wasn't crying?

Never mind

He had a tear stained face

He sighed

"I didn't choose this life god dam it"

"If I had a choice I wouldn't have asked to be born"

"I hate people"

"I hate the ---"

The branch I had my foot on snapped

I gasped

I quickly found a hiding spot

"Hello?"

He yelled

For a moment I thought we made eye contact

I hope not

The boy ran to the first branch and started to climb

No no no

What do I do

I felt my breathing quicken

Please don't have a panic attack

I closed my eyes

And calmed down as much as I could

And I just sat in silence

I heard him climbing up

Then he stopped

"Dam I can't get further"

Whoops
That's the branch I broke

"Why won't you speak?"

I gulped

Did the boy see me?

"Hello?"

I heard some rustling from above and slowly looked up

A bird

"Oh"

"I'm so stupid I didn't even think it would be a bird"

And I sat until he left

Okay how do I get down?
