Silence, Absolute Silence

Chapter 3: Popular girls

I wondered what life would be like now that I actually had a friend, I mean I haven't had a friend except for my sister but she is so busy with college now, so she is never around. Life had been very hard for me and I have had suicidal thoughts many times since junior high, but two days ago was when I was going to actually do it. I was going to kill myself. She has made me realize that I am worth something. That I was put on this earth for a purpose...But I still couldn't get the repulsed looks of the girls out of my head...Especially that one girl, the one with the pinned back bangs. The one who kept saying that Candice was lucky to be there with her "condition". I don't get it, I mean we are all human beings. Life just isn't fair! the next day at school, Miss "your Condition" 😒 who's actually name is Michelle, being in my study hall, gave me a weird look. Like she was planning something, I got to my locker and she quickly slammed it closed and giggled, in that evil way she does, "So...Emika I am so...happy... for you," (note sarcastic face) "you finally have a friend now. I just have one thing to tell you." she got so close I could feel her anger resonating from her grin that was fading away into a sneer " If you think that just because you are hanging with Candy means that you are popular then you thought wrong because I don't want anymore nobodies coming and ruining our group! get the picture?" meanwhile Candy heard the whole thing "Yes, I think Emika gets it but I have one thing to say to you" She got really close and looked her right in the eyes "nobody's perfect!" and she grabbed me and took me to an other part of the classroom to talk. "Emika, your not listening to these guys are you?" I looked at my shoes, I had actually been listening to them a little bit, the stare each girl had polluted my mind and I had barely gotten out of the stage of not caring about life so I was just used to it. She looked me right in the eye and her kind face filled my body with her love "don't ever go near those girls, ever again. I have a new friend that I want to introduce to you, you love to meet him.
