Bathroom Confessions

"Hey, are you done yet? The tardy bell rings in 5 minutes and i really have to pee." I hate being late for class. When you walk in, people look at you. And i hate it when people look at me.

"No. Use another stall."

"...In case you haven't noticed, the other stalls either have no door, or a toilet." I sarcastically roll my eyes although the girl on the other side of the stall can't see me do it.

"....oh. sorry."

I sigh loudly and lean against the stall door. "Its fine. So, i know its kinda rude to ask but what's taking so long? You're not dropping bombs are you?" I say as i hold in a laugh. Huh. Weird.

"What are you, 12? Who says dropping bombs?"

"me apparently" I say

she giggles quietly and i smile a little. And i usually NEVER smile. Or laugh. No one has been able to make me smile or laugh. But this random bathroom girl barely said a word and she's still making me laugh.

I was about to say something but she speaks first. "And to answer your question, no im not "dropping bombs" i had..im..im just having a really bad day so far. Its my first day here and everything is just..." She hesitates for a second. "my day isn't going how i planned it would go."

My urge to pee was now gone. I look at the time on my phone. Exactly 1 minute left until the tardy bell rings. I sigh and drop my bookbag next to the broken sink. This school really needs to fix the bathrooms. I know its not gonna happen because I've been here since 9th grade and the bathroom is still the same. I then sit down with my back against the stall door with my knees against my chest. I sigh again and hug my knees. Why do i feel so..sad? Why do i feel her pain? Why do i want to hear her problems? I don't even know her! I can't believe im going to say this.

"...do you wanna talk about it?"
