Alone

Part two

Tuesday:

Same thing like always get washed and eat.

This time I didn't go down when my mom called me down. I stayed in my room hoping she would just leave me alone for once.

She didn't.

I am upset with her. She told me that she was going on ANOTHER business that will last weeks longer than the last one. She was going to Italy. She's leaving tonight and I can't wait for her to leave and for me to be alone.

Today at school wasn't like any other. I met someone, a boy. He was different just like me. He was bullied, pushed around by others, and even alone with only one parent.

I didn't talk to him, he talked to me. I was happy that someone for once talked to me. It was better than any other day.

He gave me his number I don't know if I should text him. If I do what if he doesn't reply? I'll have to text him so he doesn't think I don't like him even as a friend.

Hey, it's me the girl from today.

I hit send.

It rook him a while to reply, but he did.

New Kid: Hey Alice:)

He remembered my name, I don't remember his.

I'm sorry, but I don't recall your name. What is it again?

New Kid: James
