school

<kinda sad>

at school you had the populars and the nerds. i  was in the middle. not too popular and not too smart. I was quite smart but there were times where I did need help as I would get stuck with my work.

I was currently in class and needed the bathroom. girl issues. gotta love then. note the sarcasm. I asked the teacher if I could go to the bathroom and they kindly let me go. I quickly stuffed a new pad in my pocket and left the classroom. 

as I was walking down the hall I heard faint sniffling. I always wanted to make sure that everyone was ok so I decided to go and find out who it was. when I turned the corner I saw who it was. but I didn't expect it to have been them. Colby. the most popular kid of our school sat on the floor crying. I was debating weather or not to go over to him and talk to him. I decided that I should and he did look pretty upset.

I made sure that my footsteps were quiet so that I wouldn't make him jump and make the situation worse. as I got to him, I crouched down in front of him and he then looked at me. when he did I gave him a little smile and he returned it.

"you ok?" I asked calmly

"yeah im fine" he said. I knew he wasn't

"Colby, you can talk to me. I know your not ok because you wouldn't be here crying"

"if I tell you please don't tell anyone?" he pleaded. I could see it in his eyes.

"I promise" I said holding out my tiny finger. he chuckled and he held his out. I hooked it and I looked him in the eyes.

"my mom had an affaire with my dad and they are getting a divorce and I have to move houses and live with my dad" he said as tears rolled down his face. 

"hey, its ok. you are gonna get through this and if you want me to help I will" I said putting my hands on his knees. he was tense but slowly relaxed.

"you will do that for me?" he asked shocked.

"yeah" I replied.

he pulled me into a hug and it shocked me. I never really thought that this would have happened to him. he would make it out that he had a picture perfect life but I guess not. 

"can you come to mine and help me pack up because we have to move out by five and I wont have enough time when we finish school" he asked

"yeah we can do that" I said standing up and putting my had out so it would be easier for him to get up. he was hesitant to grab it but he did. 

TIME SKIP : AFTER PACKING

we had finished packing up his room and there were a couple things that I saw that I never thought I would see. he had a little stuffed koala on his bed that he would sleep with (to be honest, that is cute). we were now laying on his bed staring at his sealing in silence. not awards, it was kinda comfortable. 

"rose" he called to me breaking the silence.

"yeah" I replied facing him. he was already looking at me.

"can I ask you something"

"go for it" I was wondering what he wanted to say.

"why are you so nice to people?" 

"because I don't like seeing people upset" I replied.

COLBYS POV

I want to know more about her. I would see her around school checking up on people as if they had been friends for years. the thing is, no one would check up on her. what was her past like? does she have any siblings? what caused her to be this angled that fell from the sky?

"what was your past like?" I asked her. I could tell she was hesitant to answer. like nobody has ever asked her that question before.

"well..." her voice started to trail off and her eyes started to fill with tears.

"you don't have to tell me if you don't want to" I said rubbing my hand on her arm.

"no I want to. so erm... when  I was five my mom passed and my dad became an alcoholic. he would always come home late and that meant social services had to take me away. I went to many foster parents because they all couldn't take proper care of me and one said I didn't fit their 'standards'. when I was eleven my dad passed because he had alcohol poisoning after spending one of hi many nights out. when I turned sixteen I moved out and lived in a little apartment by myself" she said. wow. this girl has been through so much and is still here today. that explains so many things looking back at what she has done for others.

I brought her into a hug and rubbed my hand on her back whilst she silently cried into my chest. this girl is so strong and I am proud. even though we aren't what you call 'friends' I am proud of her and how she is able to keep going. an angel. walking this earth. I think I am in love with her?
