Best Friends For Never

Chapter 2

I hurried through the crowded, hectic halls of school to get to my next class.... But then I spotted HER.

I quickly averted my eyes and tried to turn around and take the long way to my next class, but it was too late.

"HEY BOY!", she called to me.

Oh no. No no no! I tried to turn around again and escape, but everyone around me started pushing me more and more towards HER.

She and her group that follows her everywhere had caught up to me.

Wait, hold on- let me explain something.

You don't really expect me to call her her all the time, do you? No. Her name is Scarlett. She used to be my best friend.

What changed, you ask? Well like I've said- I really don't know. She started acting strange- started being more quiet, rarely talking to me instead of her usual gossipy self. We're actually complete opposites- I'm into sports, she would rather lose all her nail polish than go onto a field.

Anyways, after she became quiet, she started texting me insults.

I remember the day she started doing that so clearly- I will always remember it as the day I knew that something changed her for the worse.

*Flashback*

As soon as I came home, I went straight for my kitchen- I was starving!

I took my pile of food and was walking towards my room when my phone buzzed a familiar tune- Scarlett!

I asked her how she was earlier today, but she just walked away, so I've been worried about her.

I sat down on my bed and unlocked my phone, not knowing what to expect.

Definitely not this. My face fell as I read what she sent me:

'Keep your big, fat, ugly nose where it dosen't belong, dude!'

A tear fell from my face. I shut off my phone and started sobbing; wondering what I did wrong.

'What did I do wrong?!' 'Why did she all of a sudden send this to me?!' And lastly 'I thought we were BFFs.' Those were most of my thoughts running in my head as I curled into a ball and sobbed.

*End of flashback*

A tear fell down my face remembering the awful memory. That was three months ago- four months ago we were begging our parents to let each other sleep over- now I spent my weekends trying to keep myself from cutting.

"What's wrong, dude? Scared of me? Not so tough, are you?", Scarlett's teasing brought me back to reality.

I tried one last time to run away, but I ran into a locker. I slid down the locker and curled into a ball, scared of what would happen.

*Author's Note*
Oh my God that was long, sorry! I had so many ideas and I wanted to add a few major details that you'll understand later in the story.

It's been such an experience writing my first chapter of this book, and it's still hard to believe that this is actually happening!

I just want to remind you all that this is based off of Rainbow's and my own experiences. This is reality, and it's cruel. Although the teasing isn't that bad where I live, it is in a lot of other places.

Please try and be kind to everyone! You never know when a person is having a tough time and just needs a comforting person, or even a friend they can trust!

Okay, this was long, hehe sorry, BYEEEE!!!

NEW NOTE: I just wanted to add something else really quick- I owe it to my readers of my account for the lack of updating.

One of the many reasons is because my BFFN was the one to suggest Wattpad to me. So I have to give her some credit- even if she treats me so terribly, without trying she gave me so many friends and basically siblings on here.

Another reason is this- I trusted her so much. I trusted her and she broke that trust so many times, I finally broke.

The memories of the many times that I called her "best friend" and by the nickname I gave her that she hated but I gave anyways keep coming back to me in basically nightmares.

It's been too much to handle, so I've been basically an anti-social empty shell.

I felt worthless for a while, and I still do in bad days like today has been.

Anyways, I just felt like my few dedicated fans should at least know why I haven't been updating.

So thank you for all the people that put up with my almost non-existent updating- I appreciate it. Also all the people reading this now- all you people on Wattpad are the reason why I still try anymore, as cheesy as that sounds.

Anyways, this has been suuuper long, so I'll go now.

Sorry that I was a day late on updating! Maybe Rainbow will update a day earlier! ;)

Loves,
