Bad Days

I sat alone, on the beach, staring aimlessly at the waves as they gently crashed on the shore. It wasn't a good day, it seemed that had to make my life miserable.

First, I was late for school and got detention. then, some idiot thought it would be a good idea to steal my bag to leave it out in the rain, making my bag and everything in it, soaking wet. To top all this off, my friend was being annoying and I yelled at him. I felt bad and tried to apologize but he walked off with a sad look on his face and ignored me for the rest of the day.

Now, here I am, sitting alone with no one to talk to. It's not like I wanted to anyway. As the waves hit the sand, I heard a new sound, the sound of someone walking.

"Hey."

I slowly turned to see my other friend, Vio.

"Hi," I mutter blandly, turning back to the waves.

"Bad day?" Vio moves to sit next to me.

I nod, my eyes tearing up, I can feel Vio looking at me. I quickly wipe my eyes and turn away from him so he won't see me. I hear him move a little and then his hand gently landed on my back. He moved his hand in circles soothingly and I calm down a little more.

"Do... you wanna talk about it?" He asked after a little bit.

I sat there, thinking for a while before answering.

"I guess."

Then I told him about my day, and how horrible it was. I finished my story and Vio looked oddly red.

"What's up with you?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow.

His answer was laughter. I glared at him as he laughed.

"It's not funny!" I pouted.

Vio continued laughing, "yes it is! you would laugh if this happened to me."

I sighed, rolling my eyes. He was right, I would laugh at him. My mood felt better than before and I smiled at him.

"C'mon. Let's go get a milkshake," I stood and Vio followed, still chuckling.

Maybe today wasn't so bad after all.
