milk and cookies by alice haze (reading an ebook TXT) 📕

***

The rest of the day, Cookie just sat slumped at the back of the classroom. Staring blankly at the window. Sometimes he would unconciously held his aching heart. Donut, beside him, sit at the edge of her table. Far away from him. She propped her head with one hand. Acting as a shield so she wouldn't see any sight of him even from the corner of her eyes.

Milky at the second row was looking down at the table. Her face a bit pale. Not from the previous running. But from the shock. S'more was holding her hand under the table. Trying to soothe her. Sometimes, Milky will rubbed her sore cheek a bit. The one that was slapped by Donut just this recess. She was hurt and confused.

Why? What have I done wrong?

Marsh just fixed his eyes on the whiteboard. Under his table was Donut's lunch box. Waiting for the ringing bell, before he gave it to her. Well, that was the plan.

But as soon as the bell rang, Donut shoot up from her chair like it was on fire. Grabbed her bag and went out through the door in a flash. Cookie didn't turn his head. Why would he. He didn't even hear the bell ringing. Marsh glanced sideways at Donut that was now gone. He picked up the lunch box and put it in his bag. Then, he moved to the door and beckoned for S'more.

S'more nodded at him. She then patted Milky's hand.

"I will be going now. You will be ok, Milky?" Just flat.

Milky nodded once. Giving her a feeble smile. 

"Take care then. See ya." And a smile oblivious to the rest of the world.

S'more walked to her brother and then, they were gone. Milky sighed a little. Today wouldn't have been a bad day if I haven't spoke so carelessly. I should have known better.
