The Helpfull Guardian Angel

I was four when I attended infants school for the first time,it was a large school that housed infants,juniors and high school children in different parts of the building.I was dreading the day as I didnt mix well with other children as I always felt very different I think I expected them to know what I knew but they didnt which made me feel very uncomfortable.Anyway it was my first day and I was ushered into a very full playground with children of all ages running around like mad and I just wanted to leave I stood in the corner of the playground on my own as I knew no one and was feeling very out of place when five little boys about seven years old approached me and started to talk to me,then after a few minutes they said we will show you where we play and took me to a small building and once inside I realised it was a toilet with six cubicles then the boys said have a look in the last toilet as there is a secret there,I said no thanks but they stood in my way so I couldnt get past them and pushed me into the last toilet then grabbed the door and locked it from the outside.I didnt know what to do and I didnt know why they would do this to me.I could hear them all laughing and sniggering and shouting that they would come in and drowned me and at that moment I asked for someone to please help me and within a few minutes a face appeared under the toilet cubicle it was a boy of about six and he was crawling on his hands and knees under the adjoining cubicle walls he whispered follow me they did this to me as well then he dissapeared from under the cubicle wall so I looked under the wall and I couldnt see him then he appeared under the very last toilet wall which was five cubicles away and said crawl on your hands and knees under each wall so I did as he said and it was very difficult yet he seemed to do it in seconds,I was so worried at this time that I didnt think much of it and made my way to the last cubicle.In the last toilet the door was partially shut and I looked out for the boy but there was no sign but I could still see the other lads holding the door shut and shouting and sniggering and when they werent looking I ran outside.The lads stayed there all break fifteen minutes taunting an empty toilet cubicle and as for myself I looked for the boy at every break and in school for a full twelve months and never came across him again,so I just said a silent thank you for his help as he was there when I needed him.
