After you sit down, Zane looks at you. He hugs you. He starts crying on your shoulder. You put your arm on his back. He sobs,"I'm so sorry." After he lets go he gives you a small smile," So, your here to ask me questions?" I look at his eyes, diamond blue eyes. I lied," No I came to check on you, I haven't seen you in like, what? Ten years?" You manage a nervous laugh," And, well Laurance did hit you pretty hard." He chuckles, " Well, you can't blame him, although he did leave a nasty bump on the back of my head." He rubs the back of his head and flinches. You laugh then it fades," How exactly did this happen?" He looks at you, concerning," What do you mean?"  You regret it but you say," You know this evil thing!" Zane could sense a bit of anger in your voice," Well it's not MY FAULT MY ONLY FRIEND LEFT ME ALONE!" Zane curls up and you hear him cry," Wait, you became evil because I moved away?" Zane looks up, his eyes red and puffy," Isn't it obvious!? I was bullied in school! I had no friends!! " You say tears in your eyes," I'm sorry, I didn't realize."  Your brain brings you to a memory. It's your first day of school, your joining kindergarten. Your entering your classroom and you see Zane sitting down next to an empty seat. You smile and jog to the empty seat. You sit down a wave to Zane , he smiles and waves back. He looks up, eyes wide. You look up to see what he was looking at . A big looking held- back second grader was hovering above you. He said to you," Thats my spot. Get off, tweeb." You started to get off, sadly, you wave bye and look around for a new spot. Zane sat up and stood in front of the second whose was now in the spot," You can't just do that, she got there first, so you better give it back." The second- grader laughed," Yeah? What are you going to do about it,short stack?" He held Zane by the shirt against the wall. You tried to get the teacher but she was not here yet. You through a eraser at him," Hey you big bully!" He turns around, and with your little fist, you punch him in the face. He falls to the floor just as the teacher walks in. The second grader tattles on you and Zane. You both go to time-out. Zane whispers to you," You are pretty brave." You blush and stick your tongue out in the direction of the second grader. You both giggle. You look at Zane and you could tell he was thinking the same thing. You both burst out laughing.
