I couldn’t help but smile to myself as I walked inside the classroom while Elliot went to his seat that was near the teacher's desk. We nearly kissed and I wanted him to. I sat at my desk when Jennifer leaned closer to my desk and saw my expression.
“Oh, he smiles!” She said, getting my attention. “Finally you’re no longer in zombie mode.”
I paused for a second before facing her and Karen who was leaning over her desk to see us. “Yeah, I’m sorry about how I have been the past few days…” I said.
“Feeling better now?” Karen asked.
I nod, “Yeah.” I answered. “Sorry about the way I’ve been acting… I didn’t mean to push you guys away.”
“It’s okay,” Karen said with a soft smile.
“Don’t worry about it, Michael. We knew that you weren’t feeling well.” Jennifer said. “If you ever want to talk about it we’re here for you.”
I nod, “Thank you.”
