YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL

The day had been rather uneventful, both personally and professionally, which granted me the luxury of forgetting to watch my back and above all, to focus entirely to my work. The clock had made it's way to my lunch hour, and so I crammed my papers and Emma's file into my leather briefcase. Emma was currently the sweet little blond girl I was working with, she'd undergone a leg amputation, though by the end of the first hour I'd had her laughing and drawing me big fat elephants with crayons, one of which was sticking out of my front shirt pocket, it's little blue tail visible over the brown knit of my sweater. I had a blue crayon tucked in there as well, both she'd given me in hopes I'd add something to it and show her tomorrow.

Walking into the cafeteria I bought a bowl of cereal, a milk, an Iced Tea, and a snickers bar. Walking to the end of the room with the least occupants, I used my foot to snag a chair leg and scooted it out, sat down, and dumped my bag and lunch on the table. I hadn't been here very long, but in that short time I'd grown fond of a few of the people here, though what they thought of me I couldn't be sure. I was used to strange looks and snickering behind my back, though I'd gotten to the point I almost didn't notice it, it had blended in and become commonplace wherever I worked. Funny thing was, they judged me as a stuttering, awkward man with the funny glasses, when in reality I was the monster in stories, the villain who was supposed to be merciless and full of blood lust. But...let's not think about that.

Peeling back the wrapper on the plastic bowl of my cereal, which of course was froot loops, my favorite. I poured the milk in and began to eat. Breakfast for lunch was something I did often, not because I was rebellious, but because I just really enjoyed breakfast and usually didn't find the time in the mornings. In the midst of a mouthful, I heard my name spoken and I looked up at her from beneath the thin metal rim of my glasses and smiled. I would have responded, but I had better manners than to speak with my mouth full. " Mm" I made a sound as I pointed to the chair and nodded. Swallowing, I smiled and laughed softly. "Of course not Ms. Min." She was a wonderful woman, and like me, she worked with the children here, and I'd heard how much the children liked her. As for me, I was quite fond of her, she never seemed to be two faced with me, but rather very honest and caring. I felt more at ease speaking with her than I did most people, and this helped to not cause me such embarrassment when I stammered. "Having a good day?" I continued to eat my cereal as I waited for her response.
