"Harry, are you in here, are you OK?" I hear Vikk outside the bathroom stall I'm sitting on, I try to stop the tears that are running down my cheeks, I don't want to be this weak, I want to be strong, but I just can't.
"Harry, I can hear you crying, I wont make fun off you, I promise" Vikk tells me again as he knocks on the door again, I just take a deep breath as I unlock the door, knowing that Vikk will now open it and join me in there. I'm making no effort in moving at all, if he wants to talk to me then he has to come in there, I'm not going out there.
"what is going on?" he asks me, he sounds generally concerned about me,
"I'm just so nervous, I feel so overwhelmed by everything" I tell him as I just brake down again, every time I try to talk I have to fight with the lump in my throat, and the lump has the heads up right now. I can barely get a word out.
"why? Can you tell me why you feel that way?" he asks me
"I don't know, I just keep overthinking things, and I have a bit off social anxiety so that probably does not help at all" I tell him and I can feel him wrap him arms around me and to be honest that was just what I needed at that moment.
"you are gonna be OK, I'm a bit socially awkward as well so I know how you feel, I don't know what to say to people"
"but you came after me, and I had only said about 5 words to you, people don't normally care."
"yeah well, you looked like you needed someone, and why not me" he tells me and I just take a deep breath, I need to calm myself down before other people walk into the bathroom, I don't really want people to see me cry
"can we go somewhere else, I don't really want to be in here, if other people start coming in, I don't want to make a scene on my first day here, I'm already strange enough" I confess to Vikk
"sure, let's go to the science lab, there is no one there, I often go there for some peace and quiet when people get to much for me" Vikk smiles and leads me the way to the science lab.
"so Harry, where do you come from?"
"Guernsey"
"really, that is so cool, I've heard it's beautiful" Vikk tells me and smiles, I'm generally surprised, as he is making an effort to talk to me, it can't be easy for him as I know how he feels, it must be hard for him to
"yeah it is, I miss it already and I've just been gone for 4 days now" I say
"I know what you mean, I'm not from this town either and I often wish that we did not have to move down here" Vikk tells me as he smiles, I smile back, this could work, I did not actually think it would happen, but I think I just made a friend and that on the first day off school, I guess me crying was not the worst thing that could have happened today, after all I might have gained a friend and that was something that I needed more than anything else.
Don't worry Simon will be introduced soon! ;)
