At school the following morning, Xoa sat silently in her chair. She was still not ready to face her friends. She needed some time alone to figure things out in her head before facing the world again.
Xoa had a very hard time making eye contact with anyone. A newfound anxiety filled her body . Her hands trembled, her legs felt weak and wobbly. Every move she made seemed forced and forced. She didnt know how to face her friends. She just wanted to disappear.
She felt so lonely and so lost, as if her whole body was weighed down with lead. She felt trapped within her own mind.
Xoa oushed her feelings fown as Sage walked into the school, heading directly for Xoa. The girls greeted each other with a welcoming hug and walked together to class.
Xoa fought through her feelings and the day, being unable to forget that Niko was shutting her out. As the last bell rang and Xoa returned home, she immediatly texted Niko once again, asking how the girl was. Another awkard conversation passed, leaving Xoa feeling more hurt.
