Sometimes...

The next day I considered not going to school but my mom would only find out so it wasn’t worth it, I went straight to class to avoid any possible humiliation that may be heading my way and by lunch nothing had happened to me; I went to the cafeteria grabbing food to see the footballers all sat at the table I had to walk past.

I hoped Ben wasn’t there but there he was sat right in the middle of them all, I prepared myself for what was coming and I glanced over as I walked past to see Ben looking at me before smiling at me and carrying on his conversation. I got to the table I always sat at and sat down.

I was at my locker getting my books when someone grabbed my shoulders “See I didn’t walk into you” a voice said quietly before letting me go and walking past and I saw it was Ben. The next few days were normal expect he’d smile at me when he saw me and he’d talk to me online at night, but there’d still not been any humiliation and I was starting to just wish it’d happen already.
