We'll start off with Rain. We were seven years old. We went to the same school, but didn't know it. That is, until she noticed the angry little girl pacing in front of a classroom door. Me. She walked over to me, her caramel hair was in a frizzy fish braid, with a little lilac bow on the end, and her bangs covered her eyes.
She stopped a couple feet away from me and stared. I looked up. "Um, hi? Can I help you?" She stayed silent, and tilted her head a little. "Hello?? You gonna answer?" I was annoyed now. Her voice was soothing and airy. "Mellow, mellow. I'm not here to anger you. I came over to make sure you were all right." I stared at her. "What? Why?" "You seemed... Sad." How had she figured it out? I asked myself. I shook my head. "I'm not sad. I'm... Fine." This time she shook her head. "No. You're not. Are you mad? If you're not sad, you're mad." I was mad, too. And confused. I stared at the short girl.
She smiled a bit and nodded.
"It's okay to be mad. It's okay to be sad. I get sad when my daddy gets mad at my mommy." Her smile disappeared. She obviously also had something going on. I was curious, but didn't ask anything. She continued. "I go to my room, open my window, and look at the sky. The clouds and wind relax me. I listen to the leaves and birdies. It makes me... Happier." Her grin had returned, and I wanted to ask so bad. Maybe I could help her. But I didn't. I couldn't, I didn't even know the girl.
She gave me a quick hug. "Just think a happy thought." I smiled a bit. "But make sure you don't fly away." She giggled, and her laugh made me happy. She had an amazing laugh. I was so confused. I watched her as she skipped away. And my cheeks felt warm.
