Mice Ears

As I was walking down the crowded stairs she came up to me.

"don't let gabrile get to you he's just going to throw things right now."Then she walked away to disappear in the crowd.

I wanted to say what does he have to worry about? He has everything he could ever ask for. The only thing he could be going throw is that he broke his playstation and went crying to mom and dad to buy him a new one. I headed out of the library and went to grab my phone. I reach in my back pocket and it's not there.

"shit"

I pat myself down like a security guard at an airport. Damn I must have left it in class. I ran back into the library and up the stairs. I walked into the room to Gabriel, the teacher, vice principal, and principal there. It looked like they were having a serious conversation because the room felt heavy. The principle looked at me,

"Need something young man?"with his overly loud voice

"No, I just forgot my phone, Mr."

"Get your phone and get to class"he looked a little mad now

"yes sir"

I grabbed my phone and walked out. I looked back and Gabriel had his head down and might have been crying. I wasn't sure because the principal is a nice guy and to see him getting frustrated with me for no reason meant he was already irritated. I thought maybe karma finally caught up to him. Karma's really a bitch isn't it. I laughed a little. As I was walking out the library door the late bell rang.

"damn it!"

I started running and took out my phone to look at my schedule. I have art class. Okay that's in the o building. As I was running I ended up running into someone. She dropped all of her stuff that she had in her hand.

"Oh I'm sorry let me help you, it's the least I can do,"I said with a nervous smile.

"It's okay it happens" she said while picking up her books

I look up at her and I see mice ears. It's been a while since I've seen a mouse.

"are you new to this school?"I asked

"yeah I transferred schools because my old one was not good for me."

I picked up the last of her papers and books.

"Well, do you know which class you have?"

"no, all I have is my schedule and a map of the school." she handed me a paper

"Oh, this is not an accurate map. The A building is no longer down stairs, it's up stairs. It looks like we have the same class right now so we can go together." Gives her back her papers.

"Really thank you!" she said with a smile

"People don't treat me this kindly so thank you for being nice to me. I don't get that often because of my ranking." she said while pointing at her ears.

" I just think it's common decency to be nice to one another and I have no reason to be mean to you." I said with a smile.

She's really tiny, like maybe 4'6 or 4'7. We walk up the stairs and walk to our room. We opened the door to see the teacher talking about something and it looked like he was laughing at his own jokes. I say that because he was the only one laughing and everyone else was dead silent. We walk into class and we take random seats and sit next to each other.

"Woah! What took you guys so long? Were you guys doing something?" he said, trying to hint at something.

"No, I ran into her and helped her pick up her stuff. Sorry if we took a long time sir."

"Okay lovebirds whatever you say." as he went back to his presentation.

I can see that she was embarrassed because she had her head down and messing with her fingers.

"hey it's okay he's just some weird perv who thinks he's cool. No need to feel embarrassed.

She smiled at me,"thank you for being a good friend."

"yeah no problem!"
