I walked into the classroom and it looked the same green tile floor, gray lockers some social studies posters, an American flag, whiteboard, SmartBoard, iMac computers, and markers and crayons on a cart. The desk are in a different arrangement but that was the only difference about the appearance of the room. Like I said "it looks the same", I didn't feel the same. I felt I didn't belong and I could feel the hatred in their air.I pulled Mrs.Trent to the side and told her about the notes to everyone. She thought it was a good idea.

Natasha:" you okay. Will you be my friend I don't have any. You are cool."
Me:" I would love that and BFFs forever."
From their on me and Natasha were BFFs. Natasha being my friend was not enough to make everything go away. I kept thinking of what everyone said, the words was filling my mind, depression, sadness, the urge to scream, and urge to cry came to me all at once. I couldn't take it anymore, then I felt a strong hand on my shoulder. I turned around slowly and saw someone I couldn't believe,a potential someone who could save me and reason to live.
