Bail Me Out

Chapter Two - Friends

Charlotte made me sign up for three activities that afternoon. I chose arts and crafts, community service, and sports.

In the first activity, there were about 6 of us. I sat beside a guy with bleach blonde hair, wearing a pink button up shirt and a bow tie. His name was Sammy Woods. He was the first person to be genuinely nice to me.

When I looked over to see what he was drawing I saw a two stick figures holding hands.

"Is that you and your girlfriend?" I asked.

"No, Its my ex holding hands with the skank he dumped me for. Now shut up, I don't like to talk about it." he joked.

I found out that Sammy was here because when his boyfriend Keiran dumped him, he became addicted to cocaine. He had been here for three months now.

We became very close very fast. I liked having someone I could talk to knowing that they weren't going to take advantage of me. for the first time in a long time, I felt safe.

The next activity was community service, which luckily Sammy had too. Sammy introduced me to one of his best friends Katherine Harley. She looked like a barbie doll with Bleach blonde hair, platform heals, and a short tight pink dress. Everything about her was perfect except the scars I noticed across her wrists and thighs.

Katherine had turned out nicer then I thought she would be. All of the other girls that i had met that looked like her happened to be terrible towards me, but she was really understanding. She offered to show me around and introduce me to people. I took this opportunity to bring up the guy i saw in the cafeteria this morning. She said that she had only been here for a month and as far as she knew he didn't talk to anyone.

The last activity of the day was sports. I was not looking forward to this activity because I knew that neither Katherine nor Sammy would be there.

I went to my room to get changed and Alex was sitting on the corner of her bed shaking.

"Are you okay?" I questioned, but got no reply.

When I walked into the gymnasium a guy named Kyle, Kyle Barn to be exact. He noticed that I was new and introduced me to the group.

During Ultimate Frisbee Kyle pulled me aside to talk. I found out that his room was only a few door down from mine.

After the game, I went back to his room to talk. When I walked in, the mysterious guy from the cafeteria was writing in a book. I didn't want to bother him, so I offered to go to my room.

"That's okay, He doesn't really talk much anyways," Kyle explained.

Kyle and I talked until dinner. We shared out life stories and I found out that His dad was addicted to drugs and Kyle had gotten into them at a young age. That was when his addiction started.

At dinner, Kyle, Sammy, Katherine, and I sat at the same table eating Caesar salad with chicken strips.

"So Amy, How was sports?" Sammy asked

"No, no. Its not Amy, Im not a five year old fat kid. Its Amelia." I explained

"Woah. Calm down Amy." Kyle chimed in.
