The boy in the hall.

*Ding* the class bell rang as I was yelled at by a teacher to get to class, I roll my eyes and mumble under my breath "shut the   -fuck up mrs.williams". Yelling echoes off of the walls as a boy is pushed onto the floor, "fuck you" the boy yells, his voice beginning to tremble. He then covers his face with his hands, as he starts to silently sob on the floor. I stand up and look out the window of the classroom. Mrs.Williams screams at me to sit down but, I get up and walk out of the classroom as if i didn't even hear her. I run over to him, he tells me to go away but all i was trying to do is help. I tell him "jeez, chill i was just trying    -to help" *his eyes glisten*. He mumbles under his breath, "sorry i'm just uptight because of what happened as if you didn't see that". I help him up, he wipes his face and says "thank you". No problem i say as he smiles at me and i hand him his books. "Wow you read notebook?..: i say surprised, "Doesn't seem like you'd be into that kind of thing". "Well honestly it doesn't seem like i would be into anything at the point i am in life", he says as he chuckles. "Well i have to go" he says as he starts walking down the hall *i grab his arm* "wait" i say as i hand him a piece of paper with my number on it. "Whats this he says?" "call it and find out" i say as i smile and walk away.
