ESHGJFHDJ ok I know I haven't updated in a while and I said I would. I promise I'm writing it but I'll leave you with a small part of what I've got already:
I walk into art a little early today and notice that Alex is already here. No one else is around so I quickly walk over to him. "Alex, we need to talk." I say in a stern voice, a frown on my face. I startle him a little. He looks up at me, I can still see the faint bruises covering his jaw, and my face softens ever so slightly. He just shakes his head, telling me silently that he doesn't want to talk to me.
I can't give up though, I need to understand what's going on. "Alex please, just tell me what's happening. You haven't spoken to me in 4 days!" My voice gets louder the more I talk. "Just explain to me what you meant the other day, please?" I sigh, waiting for a reply. He opens his mouth, about to say something just as someone opens the classroom door. I look towards the door and see students start walking in and taking their seats, preparing for our lesson. I look back towards Alex and see him looking back down at his work, as if I wasn't even talking to him. I sigh before saying quietly "this isn't over Alex, I will find out what's going on here" and walk towards my own chair.
