it was almost 6pm when you finished your cleaning duty for the day at school. you walked to the huge bin outside to throw out the trash.

that was when you noticed a boy nearby, who was sitting on the ground with his knees to his chest. he was leaning against a wall, and he was visibly shaking.

you slowly approached him. he froze the moment he heard your footsteps. without looking up, he started sobbing lightly.

“are you… going to hurt me too?”
