Gingerly I place the book at Mr Lay's desk. My eyes dart across the room. I realise that I had dropped my bag, so that it trapped Ulric's chair. I head back, crouching I move the bag to a more appropriate position. Thump, thump, thump. Hearing loud footsteps I stand up and twist around. It was Mr Lay. "Thank you Skyler, for bringing my book for me," he paused, looking as if he was trying to make a hard decision, "I was wondering if you could help me out a bit more."
I wonder what he needs help with, I hope he's okay... "Sure."
"Good, well you see Ulric, he's well, my nephew...," Mr Lay was saying, he had a concerned look on his face.
No wonder they had similarities, not to mention their height...and looks...
"...I was hoping you could help him by being his friend, you see he doesn't really trust people any more since he's always being used, and well you, I think you'll help him a lot..so what do you think?"
I smile, "of course I'll help."
Mr Lay also returns the smile before excusing himself to do his work.
He's always so nice...it's the least I could do...
As I take out my books from my bag and sit down, Ulric enters the room. He comes towards me to sit at his seat. I reach out for my geography book, I see Ulric at the corner of my eye, he looks worried. He looks just like Mr Lay did, I smile at the thought. "Are you okay?" I ask.
"Do we need the geography book today?" he still had that worried look on his face as he glanced down at me.
"Um, yeah...but don't worry, we can share mine, if you don't have yours..."
"Um...sure....thanks," Ulric looks a bit unsure.
I see what Mr Lay means...
I might end up with a few short chapters,
sorry...same as always.
Thank you,
Push. : D
