The kid was on his way to the bathroom. The other children were being to loud so he decided that he would hide away in there for the break. It didn't really help that Damien was alone today.
"Hey!", a familiar voice yelled. Damien stopped walking when the bossy girl jumped in front of him, blocking his path.
"Where are you going?", she asked, crossing her arms.
"Pee?", he answered slightly confused.
"Eww! Gross!", the black haired girl said while making a face.
Damien just tried to get past her, but the girl shoved him, making the boy fall. While trying to safe himself from the fall, he scratched his arm open, making it bleed a little.
The boy started sobbing, the sudden pain and shock being to much for the child. He didn't dare touch the wound that looked fatal in the little kids eyes, even though it was just a little scratch.
That's when something weird happened.
The bossy girls companions finally snapped.
"Leave him alone Rebecca!", the blond boy yelled while the brunette girl ran over to Damien, looking horrified.
The bossy girl -apparently her name was Rebecca- looked from her supposed friends to Damien and back, then ran away.
While the brunette girl tried to somehow help Damien (it wasn't really working), the blonde boy ran away.
"It's okay!", the brunette girl said, tears almost slipping as she saw the wound again. "James is gonna be right back!"
Just as she said that, the blonde boy -James- ran around the corner, a teacher closely behind.
"Thanks for informing me James", she said. She knelt down next to Damien, carefully looking at the wound. "Don't worry little one, the pain will ease soon. It's just the shock from the fall"
But Damien didn't stop quietly sobbing, silently staring at the dripping blood.
"Come on, lets patch you up", she said after she realised that he was to caught up by the dripping red. She carefully took the hand of his unharmed arm and stood back up.
"Can we come with you?", James asked quietly. The teacher nodded "Of course" and walked to the nurse office with Damien to her left and the brunette girl and blond boy closely behind.
When they were there Damien got a little dinosaur-patch on the wound so it would stop dripping and his tears disappeared soon after, now poking on where his wound once was.
"You can return to your classrooms, break is almost over"
The three children nodded and left the nurse office, Damien slightly waving and the other two saying quick "Good bye" and "Thank you"s.
They were the only ones in the classroom, since break actually lasted two more minutes.
"I'm sorry", the brunette girl said, breaking the silence.
"I'm too", the blond boy said.
Damien looked at them confused.
"Why did you help me..?"
Now James talked first.
"I'm- we're really sorry for being mean... and we didn't really like what Rebecca did! I swear!"
"We were scared and I thought when we're mean to you, she wouldn't be mean to us!", the girl said. "But ever since she broke your glasses..."
"We wanted to ask you that for a while... Friends?", James asked, holding his hand out to Damien.
The boy looked from one to the other, then started smiling. He didn't have friends before.
"Friends."
And the three of them gave each other the pinky promise.
