I Went Outside And Watched The Birds Fly By. I Watched As They Soared Through The Air Like It Was Effortless.

“I went outside and watched the birds fly by. I watched as they soared through the air like it was effortless. I watched as they flew off into the horizon and I thought to myself, Life really can be beautiful.”

— In all it’s little things. As long as you stop and look.

He had to think. The whole incident had gone by in such a blur, the only thing he had been concerned about was getting away from it. The good news had been that at least they didn't use any weapons, except he could swear one of them used a backpack full of text books. But for the damage they did to him, it seemed like a small victory. "Hm..." Josh lifted his own drink to his lips, taking a slow gulp as he deliberated, "Well, one of them misquoted 'War and Peace' to me. And when I tried to correct him and just kicked me again and made some racist comment. I sort of tuned it out after that."

The whole attacked seemed targeted to him personally. They knew just when he would leave to return home that evening and knew just the things that dug into him and made him angry. More than just the hurtful things, they were trying to get him to fight back. Josh knew if he hadn't gotten away from them, he might have given them what they wanted. Something like that would hurt his career even more than what he wanted to do now. As much as he believed in pacifism, everyone had their limits.

Josh raised his gaze back to Genevieve feeling her touch on his hand. He smiled, grateful at least she was happy to help. He knew his other friends would likely help as well, but - if something worse happened, he didn't want them to be put in that position. This was his fight.

"Thanks, Genevieve. Really, it means a lot to hear that," setting his cup down he placed his other hand over hers, "And you're right - Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. It's the biggest lesson I teach my students. And exactly why I refuse to let this go quietly," he shook his head, lowering his head and his voice, "It's not just about me. It's about the other staff, the students, anyone. If the university won't help me, I can only imagine how many have been attacked with no way to help. They need to be given hope, they deserve justice."

It was definitely as bad as he thought. Landon might have been trying to hide it, but Josh could see it. If he hadn’t known what was going on, he might have been able to write off as nothing major, but... It was all anyone could really talk about. Even if he tried to stay out of the drama, he saw it in all his classes.

He shifted his bag from his shoulder as he moved to sit beside Landon, exhaling a sigh. He looked down for a moment, leaning forward onto his knees, “It’s okay to be upset, you know,” he raised his eyes to look over Landon’s face, studying him for another moment before he continued, “You were hurt. Break ups are never easy no matter what the situation is.”

Josh paused another second before just giving a smile and gently nudging Landon’s arm, “You should know best how quick gossip moves. Just gotta hope for the next big thing to come along quick, right?”

“All I want to do is buy a 1970s Corvette Stingray.”
