The Beauty and the Tragedy

Sorry.

Katelyn grew up into a 12 year old girl, going to school, spends time with her friends and well needing to say sorry.

It was a Wednesday morning. The 21st day of the month of November.

Katelyn wore her regular uniform. By the end of this day, her class would have their homeroom. Specifically the continuation of the Bull Session.

Katelyn went to school. Bringing her bag and art materials. Unfortunately, she was assigned as the leader of a group. They would have to make a lantern. What's worse, it was an activity where she needed to cooperate with Mason. After their long fight. It's not anymore counted as a fight. Katelyn's not mad at him, he may be mad at her which was such a big possibility.

Katelyn went to school. Got through all the subjects until it was time for Homeroom.

A lot of people sat in front of the class, chosen through draw lots. It's nearly time. Katelyn actually volunteered to be the last one. She wanted to use the opportunity to at least say sorry to Mason. Before his birthday.

She did. But since it was a bull session, she didn't mention his name. Though it was pretty obvious who she was saying sorry to. She actually did, but it didn't seem like he was listening. He seemed to be talking to his friends by that time. Like maybe he was intentionally avoiding to listen to her. It sucked feeling that way, but well, Katelyn knew she made some mistake. She've hurt the person. It was a small price to pay.

Homeroom finished. The class was dismissed.

Katelyn grabbed her bag and proceeded to the waiting area. Near the sister's house. She waited for her groupmates who eventually arrived. Even Mason. Well he had to. And since Patrick Hall was there too. He had one best friend with him. They would all stay until 5:40pm. Bus riders would join the grade 2 and 4.

They started walking. Pasting pieces of cellophane on the star frame. Newspapers and so on and so forth. Benny came. He tried helping Katelyn say sorry to Mason. Again. And so did Cassidy. Both of them helped. Until the next thing Katelyn knew, she was seated near Mason and they were talking. "Sorry." Was what she said. "What for?" "For the bequeathal thing." "Why? What did you do?" "Well. Saying no when you asked me to dance." the conversation went on and on. With some of Benny and Cassidy's eaves dropping.

Mason won't forgive Katelyn. Katelyn understands that. But thanks to Cassidy and Benny he did. Benny even said "This hurts more for Katelyn than it does for you right now."

Some more minutes til 5:40. The group started cleaning. They actually did a lot of things today. Finished a lot of work in their lantern. Some were asked to bring the lantern inside their classroom while the others picked up the pieces of paper scattered on the floor.

It was 5:40. The grade 2 and 4 students were making noise as they drag their stroller bags out of the gate and into the bus areas. Katelyn took her bag and then left. At least something ended well.
