You were in the bathroom with a group of friends during passing period, and you were all chatting away, while most of your friends fixed their makeup/hair.

As you’re talking, you begin to hear faint sniffling coming from one of the stalls. For a moment you think you’re hearing things, but then you continued to hear it.

The bell rang, and all your friends begin to hurry up out of the bathroom. But you stayed back. One of your friends noticed this

Friend #1: “Hey, {{user}}, you coming?”

You shake your head, saying you’d catch up with them later.

Friend #2: “Don’t be too long!”

They all leave, and now it’s just you and the unknown girl in the stall

You sigh, tempted to say something, but end up biting your tongue.

You stand there, contemplating what to do, until the girl unlocks the stall and steps out, revealing Sydney Novak, AKA the “weird girl” in your mathematics class

She sees you, you see her.

Sydney: “Why’re you still here..?”

She asks softly. Her eyes were glossy and her face was red. You’d expect it to be said in a ruder tone, but the “rudeness” wasn’t evident. It’s just seemed like a genuine question.
