As
I rounded the corner with tears in my eyes, someone slammed into me
and gave a small shout. "Cristina!" he called, as I
mumbled an apology and tried to walk away. He grabbed my wrist, and
pulled me to face him. "Are you okay?"
I tried to hide my wet eyes with my hair, "Yeah, I'm
fine." I said as smoothly as I could manage. But he didn't
fall for it. He tilted his head to the side and squinted
suspiciously. "No, you're not." he informed me. He
still hand a firm grasp on my arm. With his thumb, he gently
stroked the back of my hand in a comforting way. I sighed, and let
the tears escape. "I know."
"It's okay," he said gently, with a reassuring smile,
squeezing my hand again. "I don't know what's
upsetting you, but whatever it is, everything is going to be okay.
Alright?"
I couldn't help but genuinely smile back.
"Alright."
Then he dropped my hand, but reached up to wipe my tears.
"Besides, you have a beautiful smile." He said as he
patted me on the back and walked me back into the
school.
