It has been about a year of living here now, and I still have yet to have any close friends.

The only friends I am semi close with are Tsireya, Aonung, and Roxto. Even then, Roxto is always with Kiri, and Tsireya is always with my little brother, so it's mostly just Aonung.

Since I used to be the cheifs son and he is, we have a lot in common. We like to sometimes meet up, though he hasn't been showing up recently.

He probably found a girl, I wouldn't be surprised. Even if I did like boys, I would never tell anyone. Well, that is a lie. I told Tuk, and she knows I have the biggest crush on Aonung. But Aonung probably found a girlfriend, and now I'm stuck getting bullied for having five fingers again.

Aonungs old friends pick on me from time to time, but at least they stopped jumping me on the beach.

Ever since Aonung told the cheif about it, they have left me alone. This means now I'm stuck even more alone with no one to hang out with.

No boyfriend, no friends who aren't busy, no parents who aren't busy, even my little sister Tuk has friends.

I'm just stuck here doing nothing but being lonely. Just for once, I want to be the first option. I want to be held in someone's arms. I want to be kissed in the moonlight on a starry night. I want to be told I see you.

But that will never be for me. I am always the protector. Even after getting shot, no one cared enough to talk to me or spend more time with me.

It's like I'm only here if someone needs me for something. Whether that be to protect my siblings, help around the village, or even just pick some shells off the ground, I'm always lonely and alone.

I better get used to it because now all my friends have someone. Someone to love, to hang out with, to vent all their problems to. I just want to be loved. I want someone to finally be afraid to lose me.

I decided to just go help my mother with dinner so I could spend time with her while she wasn't doing other stuff.

"Hi, mother." I stated as I entered the kitchen area of the hut.

"Hello, my sweet son." She smiled as she kissed my forehead.

"Would you like some help?" I asked.

"I'm sorry, son, but I'm about to be finished with all of this." She sighs as she puts the rest of the fruit away.

"Oh.. alright." My voice cracked. "I'll just go take a walk on the beach." I frowned.

"Neteyam, what is wrong?" She states as she notices my frown.

"Nothing.. I just, I just wanted to spend time with you, Mother, that's all." I sigh. "But it is fine, I can see you're busy."

"No, no, we can do something." She hushed me as she took my hand and brought me to the living area of the hut. "Sit."

I sat down on the floor where she pointed. She sat behind me. "I will fix your braids." She smiles as she starts. "Neteyam, I can tell something more is wrong. What is it? Please tell me, son."

"Mother.. I.. I don't have any friends, like real, close friends." I sighed. "They all have boyfriends or girlfriends, and they are all with them. Even Tuk is busy. You guys are always busy. And.. and.."

"And what?" She questioned, tightening one of my braids.

"And I like someone... but I think they are already in love with someone else." I sighed.
