Starting Over

Ch. 2// The Death Trap

As I'm getting on the school bus, my stomach twists and turns. Everyone stares at me as I go through the aisle. It seems as if it's never ending torture. I melt in my seat, hoping no one will notice me after that.
" Hey you!" Said Daniel. Usually no one talks to me so I didn't say anything.
" Are you deaf or something?" I still didn't say anything. Daniel was a smart jock who played every single sport they offered. He had a girlfriend names Vanessa, the beautiful, popular cheerleader. Everyone was jealous of her. She had no problems, and no one bullied her. Or so I thought. Yesterday, someone dumped a lunch tray right on top of her. She had a huge tantrum and got the kid expelled.
" You alive?!" said Daniel

" What?" I said.

" I said, are you alive dumbo?!!"

" Yah, you got a problem?!" Trying to stick up for myself, even though I know it wouldn't work.

" Yah I do, it's You!" I moved 5 seats behind so that I wouldn't have to deal with him for the rest of the bus ride. Words could not describe how much I hate my life right now. This happens every day to me. Nobody knows me, I'm alone in this world and I just want out. I don't know if I can do this anymore. My mom tells me to hang in, but do you think I really can " hang in." They just don't understand what I'm going through. They'll never know. Finally, the bus stops at the middle school,because I'm in 7 th grade. We push and shove out of the school bus into the gym. We go to the gym before we go to first period. I go to sit down and everyone is awkwardly quiet. Theirs a new kid. Her name is Casey. She seems nice. Maybe just maybe if I start out on the right note with her, we could be friends. We could have sleepovers and hangout!! I've never been close to anyone before. I decide to walk up to her.
"Hi, I'm Grace!"

"Hi, I'm Casey, and I'm new as you can probably already tell." She said shyly with awkwardness.

"Haha, do you need anyone to show you around?"

" Yah, that would be great! I guess you could show me?!"

" Okay yah! I guess I could." I showed Casey everything. From all of her classes to just where we could sit it at lunch. I think that we're friends. I hope. Casey has all of the same classes with me except for Math. She's in regular math while I'm in advanced. We're a lot alike actually. We both like to write books, jump rope, and scholastic bowl.! We had 1 more period left which was P.E. All we did was run the mile and some dodgeball. Late that night all I could think of was that I had a friend. I was dreaming of all of the adventures that we were going to have together! We're going to be such good friends forever! I wrote in my diary until midnight. Then I fell asleep.
