The new kid

Attempt

"Excuse me, love. Did you see a young girl run into these toilets, she has brown hair with highlights in them and she was wearing overalls. She would have been upset, and crying." I said to her, as she gave me a confused look.

"Do you mean Riley Winters?" She asked me, in a tone that sounded credulous.

"Aye, her." I said knowing already that her answer was going to be yes, since she knew her by her full name.

"Yeah poor girl ran inside, clutching her bag, crying her eyes out. She dropped her bag over near the water fountain, and a bottle of pills fell out. She picked them up, before running inside the toilets." She said pointing to the door of the girl's toilet nearby to us.

"Wait, pills?" I asked concerned.

"Yeah, she was holding onto them when she ran inside." She told me, as if I was stupid asking her the question.

"And you didn't think to call a teacher, seeing an upset girl run into the toilets with a bottle of fucking pills?" I asked in a very heated tone, as I was fucking furious with how everyone was in this school, and how uncaring they could all be for someone's well-being.

"Jesus, what's your fucking problem?" She asked me, in a very sarcastic tone as if I was the stupid one of the two of us.

"Fucking idiots." I shouted, running into the girls toilets leaving the girl outside.

The toilets were much cleaner than the male toilets, since ours were covered in graffiti and of course urine, and of course intentional damage to it's utilities. There were four cubicles, with their plastic doors covered in graffiti and scribbles in permanent ink.

"Riley, where are you?" I asked.

"Leave me alone." A girl's voice called out, and even I could hear her speak as she sobbed.

"Riley, I know you have pills." I said.

"Who cares, if I kill myself? No one, so just leave me alone."

She was sobbing, crying through her words. I finally narrowed down the source to the last cubicle to the right of the four, and I could hear her jingle the bottle of tablets, and I decided to stop her.

"Step back from the door, Riley." I shouted, warning Riley to get away from the door since I was going to force it open.

"No, leave me alone!" She said crying out.

I didn't listen, and dropping my bag to the floor I stepped back and barged into the door with my shoulder breaking it off it's hinges. The door narrowly missed Riley's legs, but luckily she had brought them up onto the toilet seat and the door hit the wall hard, echoing around the entire room.

She sat there, her olive skinned face was moist with tears, her beautiful curled brown hair now matted to her face, with the orange juice. Her bag was on the floor, and she clutched at the bottle of tablets in her hand. I leaned down and before she could pull away, I snatched the bottle of tablets from her hand.

"What the fucking hell, do you think you're doing? You were going to kill yourself?" I asked her.

"It's my choice!" She shouted, her eyes still wet and her body shaking as she tried to defend her actions.

"You're going to let Connie win? Is that it? You're taking the coward's way out, if you do this." I said lowering my angry voice, since I didn't want to make the situation worse and make Riley more angry.

Riley began to sob again, dropping her face into her hands desperately.

"You don't know how hard it is! How hard it has been dealing with Connie, it's too much for me now."
