Ch.8 day 3

As I neardled the school I saw Zack waiting outside for me. We had some small talk then we walked into the school. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Rolland walking towards us.

"Look guys there's pointed ears!"

Everyone started laughing at his joke. I stopped walking, unable to speak I stared at the floor. Zack stopped, turned and in a questioning tone said,

"What is your problem! You have been at this since 1st grade!"

Everyone went quiet. I looked up at him, no one had ever stood up for me before. This gave me confidence.

"Dude chill!" Rolland began.

"Why do you do it." I said loud enough for him to hear. "Why! ANSWER ME!!"

Zack looked me confused, Rolland didn't answer, I turned and headed toward my locker, class was going to start in 3 minutes.

Later in the day when it was time for 4th hour, Zack wasn't in the gym yet so I sat down where we had sat the day before. A few minutes later I seen him walk in and he came over and sat next to me.

"Zack." I began.

"Yeah?" he replied.

"I want to thank you for standing up for me this morning."

"I will always stand up for you." he said.

That made me blush. The rest of the day went by fast. On my way home I found myself looking up at the sky a lot. I wonder what the dream I had last night was about.
