School

I was always bullied for my obsession with anime. I never really understood why, but i guess while i was in school liking anime was "weird" or "wrong". In junior high, School schedules were split up into two days. A day and B day. You'd have four classes each day and one 20 minute class which you would go to both days instead of one. When i found out my friends were in that class we all got excited because we knew we were going to have so much fun together.

The first month of seventh grade started off like that. We'd find out we are in the same class, talk, get in trouble together, sometimes get separated. But we always made sure we would be friends no matter what. But that changed when Emily started becoming friends with the "cool" kids. "Have you seen Emily? She's supposed to sit with us today for lunch like she said she would!" I hated seeing Riley disappointed because Emily thought popularity was more important than us. "No, she's with Rachel again" i replied, watching the sadness wash over Riley.

It was just me and Riley for the remainder of seventh and eighth grade until one day Emily invited Riley to join the popular girls and to leave the anime freak. Riley, being pressured to choose sides, made her decision to stay with Emily. That was heartbreaking to go through and when i told my sister she said "friends come and go kiddo. But dont worry! You'll make new friends" I would if it was that easy. I spent the remaining year of junior high alone and made a new friend in tenth grade.

I was sitting alone ar a table during lunch when a skinny red haired boy walked up to my table. "Hi! Im David! Mind if i sit with you?" I said go ahead and he sat down beginning to compliment me and ask about my interests. At first I thought he might've had feelings for me but i soon realized he's just a nice guy looking for a friend. After a while, Me and David became good friends and introduced me to his group. "Hey guys i want you to meet Marina!" The other two members of the group smiled and introduced themselves. One boy was tall with black hair, and bright blue eyes, the other is a girl with curly red hair and seaweed green eyes. She looks like she could be David's sister

Inspent all of tenth grade with this group and around the beginning of junior year, and the week after my birthday, david invited me to a party. A costume party. I wish i said no to the invite.
