Tay grinned, "What can I say? I like school. It's not just a place where I learn and see my friends. It's…an escape. From all my troubles at home."

Vera tilted her head, noting the change on his soft eyes. She bit her lip, wanting to comfort him, but she couldn’t find the words. She reached out a hand and squeezed his shoulder gently, saying I get it. with her eyes.

"Oh, no! They didn't hurt me! Maybe a few times, okay, more than a few times a year, but it's not abuse! They only call me bad names when I disobey their orders. It's-it's not abuse. No. It's not abuse." Tay seemed to be talking to himself, "It's not abuse."

Vera, although concerned and far from convinced, acknowledged this silently and withdrew her hand. Just then, Carla came back with their orders.

Tay smiled and took the two cinnamon buns, giving one to Vera and one for himself. He began to dig in, until Carla grunted impatiently, her eyebrow raised and her tray still holding a single vanilla milkshake. Tay pointed back towards the kitchen, "We never ordered that."

Vera took a bite of the wrm, steaming cinnamon roll, her eyes widening in pleasant surprise. “This is good!”, she exclaimed, thanking Carla.

"It is good." Tay smiled and waved at Carla as she brought the milkshake over to a different couple. "That's why I come here."

Vera grinned. “I’ll have to start coming more often, then.”, she said, taking a sip of the creamy hot chocolate.

"Don't forget to bring me." Tay slowly pulled apart the bun, separating the strands and eating them separately.

Vera raised a teasing eyebrow. “Some people would call that a date.”, she grinned playfully.

"Some people would also call that friendship." Tay ate his cinnamon bun slowly, the syrup getting onto his lips and then he licked his lips.

Vera tilted her head. “Fair enough.”

Tay finished the cinnamon bun and paid, standing up and offering a hand to Vera, "Let's go."

Vera accepted, getting up.

Tay walked to the car and got inside, holding up a bunch of CD's to Vera, "You pick which cheesy song we get to listen to."

(You get to make the songs up, yay!)

Vera looked through them all, eventually selecting “Dance with Somebidy”. “I’m a sucker for Whitney Houston.”, she said.

"Aren't we all?" Tay leaned into his seat, popping the CD in and starting the ignition.

Vera leaned back in the seat, relaxing. “Thanks for giving me a ride.”, she said, turning her head to look at Tay.

"You're welcome. Now, where do you live? I can't take you out all night." Tay drove out of the parking lot.

She gave him Eryin’s address, finding with surprise that the gentle atmosphere of the car unearthed the old Vera, the quiet, shy one that she missed almost every day.

Tay drove through the silent streets. "Maybe, I'll see you at school tomorrow? I'm always near the table that's next to the giant "No Bullying" sign."

(I gtg sorry)

Vera shrugged with a smile. “Sure. See you then.”, she replied, her voice dropping slowly back into its old, quieter tones.

"Great." Tay pulled into a parking spot and opened the door for her. "You wouldn't mind if I walk you?"

Vera smiled. “Not at all.”, she smiled as she got out. “I don’t think I’ve ever met anybody as polite as you.”

"Really?" Tay followed Vera as she led him to the crazy girl's (Eryon) home.
