Chapter 24- A Teacher, A Friend

Continuation from chapter 23

Iris’s POV

“Well, i didn’t expect to see you here. You know it’s not safe for you to be out here all alone in the middle of the night.” The person said as they stepped out of the dark and into the light. It was Ms. Winters!

What’s my English teacher doing in a dark park in the middle of a rainy night? “I could ask you the same thing” Did i say that out loud?

“Yes, you did.” She smiled and came forward to sit on the swing next to me, gesturing for me to do the same. I hesitantly sat back down.

We swung forward and back a little for a while, the creaking of the swings set and gentle patter of the rain being the only sounds to be heard.

“You didn’t answer my question” she said after a while. I looked at her confused. “What are you doing crying on a swing set alone in the middle of a rainy night?” i smiled at her and replied “I’m crying on a swing set alone in the middle of the night”
