"Good Morning Class!" Mr. Bilar says. "So as you all may know, I changed the due date on your projects to December 16th. That's the week before you all get out for your three week winter break. I'm going to let you pair up and start working on your project. If you need me i'll be at my desk."
Once Mr.Bilar sat down, everyone started moving desks and finding their partners. I see Egypt silently get up, and make his way to the back of the class where my seat was at.
As he sat down, I noticed he was shaking a little bit.
"You good?" I ask him, slightly concerned.
"Yea , i'm fine."
"Yea, Ion think so bruh. You were breathing kinda weird when we were talking in the hallway earlier, and now your shaking. You got anxiety or something?"
"Yea." he says putting his head down and sighing.
"Look at me," I say to him softly, " Don't ever feel bad about yourself. We all go through things and no one would ever know. Everyone has their battles and we all fight them differently."
"You suffer from things too?" He says inter-twining our hands and playing with my fingers.
"Yea," I reply, " I've suffered from depression since I was kid. But I put on a big smile, and hide my true emotions behind it."
"You're different from everyone else," Egypt says looking down at our hands, " Your the only person I feel comfortable around."
"Yea?" I ask, and he nods his head, "Well it's the same with you."

As I take in everything Aiyden had said, I notice the peaceful atmosphere that had settled around us.
We continued to talk a little bit more before we started on our project. We decided to do mental health as our topic, since it was something we both had experience and knowledge on. By the end of of class we had about 85% of the assignment done.
"What are you doing after school?" Aiyden asked me before the bell rang.
"Nothing I guess." I say honestly.
"Well....um....you wanna come to my place?"
"Sure!" I say enthusiastically.
" Well my last block is free period, so i'll pick you you up after that." He says
"No need," I say, " I drive, and my last block is also free. So i'll just meet you in the parking lot."
"Oh, my bad," he says looking embarrassed, " Well let me see your phone so I can give you my number."
We exchange numbers, and soon after the class bell rings.
"I'll see you later." He says walking out of the classroom.
I grab my belongings and leave out of the classroom.
