If I'm broken will you still love me?

A Friend?

Jewels POV:

Next day-

During lunch I did not have the courage to look at anybody, why would they be interested in me anyway? So I went to a corner of the cafeteria that looked to be empty and a good place not to disturb anybody. I sat down at the table and put my head in my hands and started to look around the cafeteria. I saw so many people laughing with their friends, just being happy...and making out with someone. Nobody was alone like me they all had someone to share their happiness with. I wish that I had that, that feeling of love and joy, but what did I have was an empty heart and an empty stomach. I had no money for food, the orphanage did not give me anything so I had the same things that I came out of there with...nothing.

 I was dying of hunger; all around me the aroma of food hit me like a ton of bricks. I just had to make through the day and then I could go home- if you can call it that- and just go to sleep, and forget about today. Lunch was almost over so I picked up my things-which basically were a notebook and one pencil- and made my way to my next classroom.

 On my way out of the cafeteria I overheard some people talking about me and all they would say consisted of the same thing, 

" who let that freak into school, doesn't she know that there is no place for homeless people in here?" I could not handle it anymore I ran out of there before tears could spill from my eyes. 

Who was I kidding- thinking that I could go to school: make friends, and be loved. I suddenly stopped in a hallway not being able to hold down my tears any longer, I fell back against the wall and cried. I cried for my parents, I cried for all the times I had to hold back my tears at the orphanage for fear of being punished, I cried for my life, and most of all I cried because I knew that I was never going to have the one thing that I wanted the most- love.

I had choir next, it was the only class that I actually liked. I felt free when I sang. I used to sing some of the kids to sleep at the orphanage after the headmistress would yell at us and send us to our rooms without eating I could hear their stomachs growling and it killed me so I sometimes snuck down to the kitchen to get whatever food I could for them. I could not let them starve, every time I did this the kids would always hug me and bless me, they would say that I was too good to deserve being there. After they all ate I would tuck them in bed and sing a nice song for them until they fell asleep. I knew that whatever it took I would take care of the kids no matter what the price was. I would always look out for them. 

 When I walked into the classroom I noticed that the same people that were talking bout me at lunch were in the class. Great I would have to deal with them and their comments. Couldn't they just leave me alone? Did they not see that I did not mean for them to have a bad day? I knew that I wasn't going to be able to be free in this school. All throughout the day I was given looks of hatred and I did not know what I had done to deserve it. 

 " Ewe...look what the street dragged in. Hey you the homeless shelter is on the other side of town. This school is for decent people." One of them said. She did not know how much those words hurt me. I came from a very poor background and I did not have much. But that gave her no right to treat me like that. 

What did I ever do to her?

"Melissa, be quiet! Do you always have to insult someone? Why can't you just keep your trap closed and pretend like you are actually a nice person." This girl said to who I guess is Melissa. 

Wow she stuck up for me. 

Why? I will never know, she was much more prettier than me for sure. She had chocolate brown hair and these amazing electric blue eyes that looked like she could look into your soul and find out every single detail about you.I don't know why, but I felt terrified of her as well as safe. Like she wouldn't let anything happen to me, like if I was her friend.

 Could that happen? Could this beautiful girl become my friend? Will we have sleepovers at her house, and talk about boys? Will we do each other's nails and then eat a bunch of junk food and then lay back and watch a movie? Will I finally experience watching a movie?

"Who do you think you're talking to? May I remind you that I'm your future-"Melissa started to say.

 "Nobody. You are not going to be my future anything. Just because you think that you get respect just because you are Xander's new play thing. You got something coming your way. You are nobody, like I said before; you are just Xander's new plaything. So if I were you I would stop picking on my new friend and go away." The girl with blue eyes said.

 She turned around and came up to me, she grabbed my hand and lead me to the back corner of the classroom. I was still in shock by what she had just told Melissa, 'stop picking on my new friend and go away.' Did she really mean that? Was I really her new friend? 

 "Hi my name is Alison Westcott. What's your name? I can already tell that we are going to be great friends." Alison said to me. From that moment on, I knew that my whole life was about to change-for good or for worse- I didn't know what to do about it, but I knew that I was going to be okay.

 "Hi my name is...."

So what did you think Dearies?
