The silence lasted for three seconds

The new boy was grabbing Melanie's arm

He pulled her up from the ground

He even brushed off some of the sand from her dress

The bully started crying

Obviously, he had blood all over his face

The new boy seemed untouched

Melanie stared at him in confusion

Would he hit her too?

But he didn't hit her

He just observed the crying child

He stared without guilt or remorse

"Who's the crybaby now?"

He jerked Melanie's arm, as if he wanted her to accomany him

She did

Together they walked away from the bullies

They stared at them in shock

Melanie was too overwhelmed to react differently

At least she had stopped crying

The new boy let go of her arm when they were out of sight

"Where were you heading?" he asked

Once again his voice was as sweet as cotton candy

"The forest," Melanie merely whispered

"I love the forest," the new boy admitted

Melanie smiled slightly

"Then follow me"

He looked at her

He looked tired

As if he hadn't been sleeping since he came out of the uterus

"I already am"
