I ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror.

His words danced around my mind as I felt a few tears lip out. I tried not to let people like Brandon get to me but somehow his words did. They were like a stab in the heart.

Dont cry, don't cry, don't cry

I repeated in my mind, but the more I said that the more tears came flooding down.

I stayed there for about two minutes just silently letting the tears come down my face.

I shook my head and splashed water on my face before heading to English.

I walked into the classroom and everyone looked at me.

"Benji, your late"

I couldn't be bothered to say anything back so I nodded my head. I looked around the class for Jorge and him, addy, cayman, syd, and noen were sitting in a row together. Jorge was in the middle and he patted the spare seat next to him.

I sighed and sat down. I put my bag on the desk and put my head in my hands.

"Are you ok?" Jorge and addy said.

Before I could say anything, we heard the teachers voice.

"Benji put your bag on the floor." She said. I sighed and pushed it onto the floor dramatically.

"And get rid of that attitude" she added.

I growled and put my head in my hands with my elbows on the desk.

I felt Jorge rub my back and addys hand on my shoulder. I could of just fallen asleep right there with both of there comfort but I kept myself awake.

"Are you ok?" I felt Jorge say before he gently kissed my hand a couple times.

I closed my eyes and nodded before turning my head to the teacher. Minuits later, Brandon walked into the classroom and sat down in a random chair.

"Your late" the the teacher said.

"Well no" Brandon replied before sticking his gum under the table.

He looked over to me with my head in my hands and my puffy eyes as I stared at him.

He chuckled and mouthed to me:

"Did I get in your head krol?"

I shivered and looked at the the teacher.

I felt Jorges hand on my shoulder again and I felt myself relax.

The teacher blabbered on before we had to write in our books.

I just sat there. Starting at my book clicking my pen.

I saw syd lean over and say,

"Are you okay Benji?"

I lazily nodded my head again and stared down at my paper.

"Let me help" Jorge said. He slid my book nearer to him and wrote a sentence in my book.

"C'mon" he kissed my forehead. "You have to do something this lesson" he said rubbing my hand.

I nodded and sighed before picking up my pen and starting to write.

I wrote a couple sentences before eating my head on the table while addy and Jorge rubbed my back.

"What happened out there Benji" addy said, looking at her book, still rubbing my back while writing with her spare hand.

"Yeah Benji. You look...depressed" Jorge chuckled before running his fingers through my hair.

"Oh. Uhh. Nothing it's fine" I answered before leaning back in my chair.
