The last couple days have not been easy so I went to school a bit on edge.

Got to school without a hitch and I don't know if that was an achievement but it felt like that.

in front of school, I bumped into an older girl. She didn't immediately cringe at me so that was a plus.

"What's your name?"

"Junior." eye contact wasn't hard.

"You've got a lot going on, don't you."

"Did my friends tell you about..."

"I don't know your friends, but I can... feel it."

"Thanks, means a lot."

"We can talk again, I'll be here for you." she walked away but not into school. As she passed me, behind my ear she said "and my name is Lunja."
