My Secret, My Bully, My Mates by Miss L

As Professor Chance wraps up the lesson he tells us that he will run our final next week so we can spend the rest of our class time outside doing things that are practical. Once he dismisses us the general rumble of books and supplies being packed fills the room and the general noise of voices increases in volume as the students leave the lecture hall. I take my time and so does Tyler. “Can I walk with you?” He asks shyly.

“Sure.” I say on a breath out.

He just nods and starts to shuffle out of the top row, checking every few steps that I am following him. We make it outside and his friends are nowhere to be seen, he’s all mine for the time being.

“Mina, I have Tyler with me, take your time. I’m going to see what he has to say.”

“Got it.”
