Rory

As the young man was crying, a girl passed by the door, and saw him. She tried to comfort Frank even though she was a very shy girl.

“Are you OK?” she asked handing him some tissue she got from the canteen.
“I’m fine,” Frank answered. He was somewhat embarrassed as he wiped away his tears with his sleeve. He took the piece of tissue and thanked her for it. It caused a blush on the girl’s face.
“I’m sorry about all this crap,” Frank muttered.
“No, it’s alright,” she replied, “I don’t mind.”
“Listen, I have to go. Thanks again…”
“Oh, my name’s Rory.”
“OK, thanks again Rory.”

And Frank left her inside the room in seconds. After a long silence, Rory almost screamed in joy.

“I can’t believe I got to talk to him face-to-face!” she exclaimed, “and he thanked me! ‘Ohmguh’ (OMG)!”

Tears came back to Frank’s brown eyes. His head was already aching. He felt sick. He didn’t know what to do.
