I was walking home from school today. It was one of those days where the sun is shining yet snow still falls, dancing in the wind. The weather wasn’t too cold either. Halfway home, I saw a boy about my age walking towards me. His head was down and as he got closer, I could see him rubbing at his eye. I could hear him sniffling as well. Maybe it was just from the cold, but I think he was crying. It was strange: I wanted to reach out to him and tell him that everything would be ok, even though I didn’t know him. We passed each other and I hesitated. After taking several more steps, I stopped and turned to look at him; unsure and waiting for a possible reaction. He was farther down the path by now but he still turned around and looked at me. Had we been closer, our eyes would have met. We stared at each other for a while, though it was probably only a few seconds, then I turned around and walked away. I felt disappointed in myself for not acting.
Such strange emotions... Strange thoughts... Strange...
