26 Chapter 26

I look up to see Ken, "Are you crying?" He asked in surprise.

I turned my head the other way and said "No, I'm not crying." I hate the idea that one of these stuck up rich people are gonna see that they were able to get me to cry. I got up and tried to run, but he grabbed my arm pulling me back. I turned my head making me have eye contact with him, "Are you ok?" he asked.

"I'm fine, just let me go!" I tugged my arm trying to get away, but he's got a strong grip.

"Hey, calm down for a sec." he pulled me in and grabbed me by both my shoulders, his face was so close to mine, but for some reason I started crying harder. I put my hands over my face. unable to contain my emotions.

He glanced around, took a deep breath and pulled me into his arms. He gently placed my head against his shoulder and his hand on the back of my head, he wrapped his other arm around me. "Listen, I'm not good with people when they are crying, I don't know what to say. But I can at least be a shoulder for you to cry on, sorry if this seems a little creepy since we haven't really known each other for long."

Once I hear him say that for some I can't contain myself, my tears come flowing out even harder and I grip on to his back pushing myself deeper into his shoulder. All my grief came out, not just from Ren or these students being so mean, but also from loosing my parents, from my brother being in a coma, from everything all the pain I've suffered recently came flowing out. Why do I feel so comfortable in his arms, in just a few words he was able to open up and release all the pain I was keeping inside.

"Sorry, I'm getting your shirt wet." I said as I wept.

"Don't worry about it, just get it all out." he stated as he gently patted my back, it was strangely calming.

I couldn't stop crying for a good 20 minutes, finaly I felt like I was calm enough to seperate from him. But I was still feeling very self consious, I had no idea what I was going to say. I just hugged a guy that I knew for all of about 2-3 days and completely soaked the shoulder of his shirt, by just having a complete break down in his arms. Oh god I'm so embarrased!

I finaly removed myself from his shoulder and started wiping my face with my sleeve, "Thank you for this." I mumbled.

"Don't worry about it, but we should probably get cleaned up. I have my gym shirt in my locker, plus it's not like we can walk in to class 20 minutes late." he said

"Ya I guess your right, I kind of dont want to go to class anyways."

"ok." he turned and started walking away

I watched him as he walked, he suddenly stopped took and turned around. "Listen if you really don't want to go to class, I was gonna ditch anyways. You want to come?"

I felt a flutter of excitment "Really?" I said eagerly and a little to loudly.

"SSSHHH, we are gonna get in trouble if you yell that loud. But yes really."

"Ya, lets go." I quietly walked over to him.

"Alright I just need to change in to my gym clothes."

"Ok lets go." I'm so excited, I hope we become freinds that would be great.
