Good Listener

BY: HAZELSECKNERR

As I see my bus leaving for school, I usually just watch it pass by and go back to sleep. Well today felt very different, I wanted to run to the bus and chase it so I could go to school. So that's exactly what I did. I was honestly surprised I got up from my bed at all today. Hi! I'm Cara, I'm in grade 11th and I HATE school. I don't have any "real" parents, they left me when I was born at a foster home. My foster parents don't really care for me so I don't care for them. I only have one good listener / good person in my life. Her name is Mika and she's the total opposite of me. She LOVES school and her parents are probably the best people ever! She's most likely the only reason I'm living these days. We have known each other since kindergarten, but recently I feel she's ignoring me.

CHAPTER 1

Is she really ignoring me? I think to myself. I tried texting her over and over until it said she blocked me? Why would she block me? I'm so confused? Whatever I think, I will see her at school and talk to her. I get to school and see her hanging out with OUR bully hona. Some things about hona she's a self centered white basic girl and has hated BOTH me and mika since the 1ST GRADE!! And now all suddenly mika MY mika is hanging with hona?! I tried to go up and talk to mika but she just walked away with hona and all the other self centered basic girls. Usually me and Mika sit next to each other in every single class and talk between periods but now she's doing ALL of that with hona!!??

By the end of the day i want to start crying my eyes out, how can my best friend of 16 WHOLE YEARS ignore me and talk to our bully? School finally ends and I hop on my bus to get home. Hona takes the car home but me and mika always sit next to each other on the bus. But she isn't here? I look around and she's nowhere to be found. I finally look outside in the car loop area and I see her GETTING in HONA'S CAR?! Now this just made me more and sad and I guess mad? I'm never mad at mika! I sit in a seat all the way in the back and put on my headphones mika got for my 15th birthday and play music as loud as i can get it all the way home, crying while listening. Music has always been My good listener but it came in 2st after mika but I'm starting to think maybe now music is my 1st good listener? I finally get home and lay on my head sobbing my eyes out. *DINGG* I hear it coming from my phone. *DINGG* I heard it again. Wiping my tears I slowly look at my phone and see what the whole notification was about? It's from instagram? I clicked on it thinking it was a photo from my grandpa I got tagged in. but it was worse the photo was from mikas account, lucky she only blocked me on snapchat. Holding back my tears as i see the photo its MIKA AT THE MALL WITH HONA!! AND WORSE THEY LOOK LIKE THEY ARE HAVING A GOOD TIME AND LAUGHING!! How can my life get any worse? My only good listener who was real, left me and became someone else's good listener. This happened for 2 more weeks, i missed seeing mika every day. She would be the only one who would help and be a good listener when it came down about my stupid family. A month has passed and I'm honestly so tired everyday I get no sleep thinking about mika and hona. I thought nothing could get worse but it does. When I get to sleep with my headphones on and 2 hours of sleep I get in class and hear two of honas so-called "best friends" talking about hona and mika? Now I'm not one to listen to other people's conversations but I just had to now looking bad. It was my worst idea EVER. I heard that Hona and Mika were DATING..........? I run to the bathroom and start crying. But why was I crying? It's not like I liked Mika or anything right? Whatever, I say continuing  to cry. I didn't even realize I walked into the boys bathroom until I saw Mike come out of the stall. Not only was I crying, I was so embarrassed. Mike is Mika's twin brother but they don't really like each other.
