My Girl

New Friends

Alana

I sit under a tree for lunch. It's so nice out! The sun is out and the shade under this tree is perfect. I love the sun. Warmth is my best friend. I don't like the cold. The only time I like it when it is cold is if it snows or if it is Christmas or New Year's Eve. Other than that, don't be cold. I hear my phone go off signaling that I got a new text. It's probably some weird number telling me to die again. "Ugly fat whore! I know about your past life. Why are you still here?" Ouch. That one really hurt. I began to cry a little. Why me? What did I ever do? I don't deserve this. I cried more and then I felt something hit my head. I look up and see Calum, Luke, Michael, Ashton, Andy, and Adrian surrounding me. "Get her!" Michael says. They all began kicking me. I covered my face so they wouldn't at least kick me there. Then Michael and Ashton picked me up and held me while Luke punched me in the stomach and on the face. Next was Calum. He kicked me in the shins then punched and slapped my face. They all took turns hurting me. Then they left me on the ground, spat at me then left. Why? I found the strength to crawl to the tree and sit up. So much for enjoying the day. Then I received a new text. Now is not the time. I do not need this. I don't want this. I grab my things and limp inside. I walk into the girls bathroom. Girls laughed at me and it hurt. I walked in the school with my head down because I didn't want people to see my face. I'm broken. More broken than before. I went into a stall and cut a few times. Not too much because I do not want to repeat last time. What's wrong with me? I take out my phone to see myself and notice something different. It isn't my face, it's my screen. There is a random number that is telling me something NICE! "I'll be your friend. You may not know who I am, but we have some classes together. My name is Tony. I wont hurt you. I found your number in the hall. It was on a sheet of paper that was aimed to hurt you. I just want you to know that I noticed and I want to help. :)"

Tony. I recognized the name, but don't know what classes I have him in. I don't pay much attention to my surroundings much. I saved the number and texted back. "Can I meet you? I know we haven't talked before. But maybe at like a music store or something? We could walk to one that isn't far from here? Do you want to?"

Within a few minutes, Tony replied. "I have a car so we could drive there :) Just meet me at the front of the school. See you there :)"

I smiled to myself. I might have a new friend. Things are finally changing!

Throughout the rest of the day, I ignored the rude comments. I was excited to meet Tony. I was lost in my own world not paying attention to anything. Before I knew it, the bell signaling that school was over rang. I quickly gathered my things and headed to the front of the school. I waited for Tony. I texted him telling him I was here. It's been 10 minutes. Maybe this was a joke. I waited another 10 and then I walked away. This was a joke. A lie. Why would anyone care. "Alana!" someone yelled. I turned around to see someone jogging over to me. He's in a few of my classes. This is Tony. He looks like Tony Perry from PTV thought. This is great! He's really smart though. He's shy too, but shy guys are cute. "Hi I'm Alana." I said smiling. He hugged me lightly and said,"I'm Tony." he said laughing. I laughed with him then we got in his car. He drove to the music store while playing PTV,SWS and ATL. "You know you remind me of Tony Perry of PTV. I mean you even look like him!" I said. He giggled and said, "I get that sometimes. But I'm a little different. I may look like him, but I'm different." It's true. This Tony is a bit more outgoing. We arrived at the music store and looked around. We spent an hour or so looking and walking around. We laughed at different music covers of pop and rap music. Tony is so funny. We even gave each other a nickname. He's Lion and I'm Kitty. We went up to the cashier to pay for our music. Just before I was going to pay, Tony paid for me. I argued telling him he shouldn't have done that but he argued back saying a guy always pays first on the first date. I was a little taken back, but I was happy. He found me attractive enough to want to date me. He really is different. "Date? O-Okay. Cool! So we're dating?" I said. He smiled and nodded his head. I smiled back and hugged him. "Thank you for paying. But just do you know, you don't have to pay every time. I'll pay too." I said. He just hugged me. He drove me home and we talked about our lives. He talked about his first. He was picked on his whole life. Not too much today though. He sings and he sang a bit for me and it was beautiful! I told him a little bit of my story then I sang for him. "Not as good as me though." Tony said then we laughed. He's do funny. I think I found my friend. He's the best!
