Aboulomania [Skephalo]

Chapter 2

Darryl's POV

*THUD*

I hear this huge "THUD" sound. I look around to see where it came from but it didn't take me long to notice from where.

I see a small crowd circling the stairs.

I make my way over and I see a younger boy on the floor holding his right leg and rocking back and forth. He had his eyes shut tight in pure pain and he was obviously trying his best to hold back his tears. I felt compassion for the boy as he seemed to be in a lot of pain.

*RING*

My thoughts burst like a bubble at the sound of the bell. I started to panic a little, I could be late for class and that would look bad on my part, especially on the first day of school. At the same time though, I really wanted to help him out.

a) Stop overthinking. He could really use some help, plus the school wouldn't mind in this type of scenario. I thought to myself, so I went over to help the boy.

b) I know someone else will help him so I should just go. I thought to myself. I started to walk away and even though I felt bad, I continued my way to English class.
