A Weird Childhood

Ch. 10 A New Outlook

As I started to ease my aching back I decided that I should head into school to return Yui's bible. I was wet and sore from sleeping outside, but I was glad to get away from her for at least a night. But I was kinda interested to talk with Yui again, I don't know why, but it's like I'm drawn to her like a moth to light. I honestly never thought about it, but I think she might be the closest thing to a friend I've ever had, probably the only one. As I walked into the building I could see her sitting near a trophy case, she looked like she'd been crying. "Yo what happened with you? " "oh Ayato, its nothing just something stupid it shouldn't concern you." "Well I can tell your lying and I personally hate liars so spit it out already." I was laying it on a little bit harsh but I wanted to know and I despised people  who tried to lie and hide things, and Yui was the only person I could legit talk to and I didn't want her to go away. "Well as you probably guessed, I'm not the type of girl that has a bunch of friends here, and a lot of the kids here think I'm some sort of outcast. And so for the last few years I've been having a lot of bullying iasues and today a couple girls shoved me into a locker and left me there for nearly an hour before a teacher finally let me out. And I was so scared that I was gonna suffocate in there and it was so dark, I panicked and just started crying and crying." Then tears started to well up in her eyes and I could see that she was going through a super rough time. "Normally, I hide the pain from the others and my dad, but today, it's just been coming out all over the place and I'm scared if it's seriously affecting me." I knelt down to her level and just gave her the slightest hug, nobody should be forced to go through that kind of pain. I knew how it was to be bullied into submission by someone more powerful than you. "Yui, they mean nothing and you have to be strong otherwise they'll just keep doing it. Have pridein yourself and fight back show them that your not just some meek little girl." I honestly have no idea where this came from but it was like I couldn't just sit there and say nothing to her.  She hugged me back and stared ri cry into my shoulder, it was a bit painful to watch, but I knew thatI set the fire in her. Maybe being good to others wasnt such a bad thing after all.
