I am very upset," she said
"

"
What do you mean ?" she asked with obvious interest
He looked her in the eyes and asked,
"

The girl reflected on this odd question for some time,
watching her thoughts and feeling rather than being them,
while she searched for any feeling of peace ..
"

"
I don't know. As I tried to feel peace, I guess I stopped worrying and I forgot I was upset.. And the only left thing was ..."
she paused, looking a little confused .
"
Peace.." Her teacher said for her ..
