The boy kept walking to school lost in the morning thoughts bubbling in his head. Every time an anxiety inducing thought came up he'd quickly take a bite of his waffle. The sweet taste overpowering any worries he had.
"Hopefully the waffle lasts until I get to school.....then Michael will be there and that should distract me from the shit storm in my head" he thought.
He had opted not to take the bus..... the thought of that many people was nerve wracking, especially in the morning. Although the walk had its disadvantages too. But he thought if he kept a steady pace he shouldn't be too tired when he gets to school. Not even a second later with almost comical timing a voice much deeper than the boys own said:
"ArE yOu Su-uRe ...th-thAt it waS A g-good iDEa tO wa-walK?"
The voice was quiet and it seemed that it struggled to get each word out. The boy felt his chest tighten.
" I don't recall asking you what you think" the boy retorted in thought clearly frustrated.
"S-s-sorry jus-st want t-to he-lp"
" for the last time, I don't want your help! Just shut up and leave me alone!" The boy thought projecting all of his anger into the thought.
He he waited for a response.
The boy didn't know whether the voice just took the hint or simply couldn't muster any more words. Either way he was glad that that this interaction was over.
The boy shoved the last small remaining piece of waffle into his mouth grinding his teeth as he chewed.
"It was stupid to think that he was gone ,of course he's still here. God why can't he just leave me alone?"
The boy still walking however much more tense. This encounter made the walk seem much longer and more tedious than it really was.
The light and fluffy texture of the waffle while pleasant was nowhere near enough to make a dent in the newfound feeling of dread.
