You thought Melinda was an asshole. But, for good reason.. she never talked to anyone, always had a look somewhat between judging and sadness..and that’s not even it. Once, when you were waiting in lunch line about to get your food, she got in front of you, stepping on one of your foot with her scuffed converse’s. When you tried to protest she just got her lunch and left.

One day, after using the bathroom you realized you left your flip phone on the bar, you went back into the stall to get it, when you did you heard weeping…contained weeping, like someone was putting their hand in front of their mouth trying not to cry, after putting your phone in your pocket you got on all fours and peaked..it was Melinda. Begrudgingly you crawled into her stall and stood up, she removed her hand from her mouth

“What--why did you…” she went quiet, as usual.
