Eventually she caught sight of a boy. He was crying. Ella walked over carefully, her black plimsoles crackling slightly on the gravel. Her robes billowed behind her in the soft breeze.
Ella sat down on one of the steps next to the boy. 'A-are you okay?' Stupidly obvious question but it had to be asked....
Someone had found him, and was worried.
Great he thought to himself.Oakey was in no mood for lying, and he finally found time to let it all out so he could get back to his routine of solving his dilemma.
I-I thought this s-spot wa-was secluded enough to keep me out of e-eye shot. He didn't want to tell the girl his problems he really, really didn't.
M-My problems a-are my own, you don't ne-need to worry bout me. Y-You wouldn't understand anyways.
