>>27516863>I grabbed an apple out of the paper bag I kept my lunch in.>I walked over to where Shy Girl was crying>Her friends noticed, and formed a barrier around her.>I showed them the apple, and after a few hesitant seconds they parted and allowed me to see her.“Feel better about yourself.”
>”N…n-n-no.”>She was barely able to form words through her sobs.>I actually felt kind of bad for her.>Which was immediately replaced by more anger for her friends.“Do you feel strong?”
>”N…No.”“Maybe you can show how assertive you are by standing up to your friends, instead of going against what you believe in.”
>I reached out the apple towards her.>She just looked at it for a second, then back to me, confusion in her eyes.“I wasn’t gonna eat it anyway, and better you have it than the trash can”
>She reached out and took it in both hands>I got up, got my things, adjusted my D.A.R.E shirt, and flew through the roof into the sky.
