cry baby ; rarl

carl ran to the bathroom, he couldnt take these names. he was a fragile person and it hurt him when people could be so cruel.

the way he dressed caused thousands of people to hate him. why? it wasnt affecting anyone.

he cried for atleast 10 minutes in the bathroom when he heard a knock on the door.

"carl-l?" a voice called out. all the voice could hear was a weak cry and many sniffles. she felt bad.

"carl, i know you dont know me, but my name's enid. ill be your friend" she said.

carl couldnt trust her. he was useless to everyone. they only wanted him for his grades.

"hey, i know rons a douche. i used to date him" she explained. "then i figured out im gay" she added.

carl wiped the mascara that stained his cheeks and got out of the stall.

"im so sorry he hurt you dear" she apologized. carl thought she could be nice.

"you ruined your makeup love. let me help" she smiled, pulling mascara and eyeliner from her pocket.

carl couldnt even say anything. he let her do her work, she was gentle and didnt judge him.

(a/n: carl is 4'11 in this and ron's 6'0 enid is 5'5 ish)

carl sat on the sink, yet enid was still taller. he didnt mind, he was always shorter than the others. but he got made fun of a lot for his height. he didnt understand why, its not his fault. he cant just snap and be 9 feet tall.

"you look like a princess!" enid cheered.

he checked the makeup in the mirror and actually smiled. it was really pretty. maybe he might actually have a friend.

carl took the eyeliner and wrote on enid's arm 'thank you.'

"no problem. thats what im here for. we should go back to class. theres only a couple minutes left anyway, sit with me." enid said, earning a nod from the blue eyed boy.

they walked back to class, with no questions asked why it took forever and carl and enid sat together.

the two chatted back and fourth on paper

carl- thank you for everything

enid- no worries, friend.

carl- why would someone like you date that idiot ron?

enid- you should ask 8th grade enid, she was dumb.

carl- haha

enid- we have lunch next, sit with me?

carl- of course

enid- also heres my number (***-***-****) text me for anything

carl- thank you

enid- no worries

carl- class is ending

enid- ill go with you to your locker. i dont want you to have to walk alone.

carl- ill be okay. i dont want you to be hurt.

enid- id rather it be me than you, dear.

carl- if you insist
