She wasn't at school today, so his friends occupied her usual seat. They went on and on about how excited they were for track season to start, and he nodded like he was listening. In reality, he spent most of the class wondering why she was gone. He imaged asking her when she came back to school tomorrow but knew he'd chicken out. She scared him, but not because she was big or burly. In all facts, she was quite tiny compared to him. She couldn't do any real damage to him physically, he knew that. But he also knew that pain came in more ways than one.
