'The meeting is today!' I got up from bed in surprise. 'How could I forget? It's 2 in the afternoon! Only one more hour! I have to hurry!' I rush to the bathroom to take a quick shower and wore my casual clothes, a pink-blue-white strips t-shirt and a pair of jeans.
The house was quiet, too quiet to think that there was anyone home. They must all still be asleep till now, as I walk silently out my room and left a letter by the kitchen saying: Be back by 8, heading to the cafe with a friend, we're gonna do a project. Love, Angeline. I left it by the refrigerator and held it into place with a magnet, then headed to the cafe.
It's been 30 minutes, 2:30pm to be exact, I walk half way to the cafe. I kept walking. On my way to the cafe, I pass a mini market and lots of houses, then I stop by the park seeing 3 kids bullying a little boy. The little boy started to cry and I felt pity for him. As I approach the 3 boys and stop them from bullying the little boy.
"How dare you bully little kids like him?" I said as the 3 boys stopped and stared at me. "Don't you see? He doesn't fight back at you, and there's no way he is going to fight back. You know why?" I asked while the small boy stopped crying and stood behind me.
The 3 boys shook there heads.
I continue, "because he is a brave little boy, unlike you. You bully small children because you think they're weaker than you but the truth is they are much, much braver. You bully them because you think you're awesome while the truth is you're just like a loser."
Then the 3 boys ran away. I turn to the small boy and check if he was hurt, "Hey, kid are you alright?" I asked, the kid replied with a smile, " yes."
"You were really brave out there."
He replied with a big smile, "Thanks."
"Alright. Go home, your parents might be looking for you." I said
The little boy nodded and walked away with a happy face.
I continue to walk to the cafe when I check the time
3:05
'Shoot! I'm late. How could I lose track of time?'
I rush my way to the cafe. I saw Walter sitting by the window, waiting for me. Resting his chin on top of his hand. Entering the cafe, I wave at Walter, he waves back. I sit at the chair opposite of his.
"I'm so sorry I'm late. There was this kid and-" As I was explaining, he interrupted.
