The Redhead

Part 2

I didn't have many friends at the time and in my 4th period, I had one friend we'll call Stacy. She was possibly one of the most annoying people in my school. She was a year ahead of me just like The Redhead and followed me around like a puppy dog. Looking back at it, she must have been going through some hard times, because she was always complaining about something and that must have been stemming from something. She claimed she couldn't run, because of back pain but the gym teacher said her parents said no such thing. I don't know, all I do know is I was alone without this girl in gym.

She was about my height with thin blonde hair. It was so fair that it was nearly white in some places. She dressed like a 3rd grader, although I don't doubt that was because her parents weren't in the best financial situation. She didn't have friends either so we were kind of stuck together in the one class we had together.

I had other friends, not many but I did have other friends. None of them were in any of my classes, but we all had lunch together. First there was William (we'll call him that to keep him anonymous), he was a tall drama geek with blonde hair. He LOVED everything drama, I don't think he was gay because for all the 3 years I knew him he always took interest in girls. I was a little over-protective of him because he was like my little brother and I had to keep him from guys who would pick on him for liking theatre or hanging out with girls.

Then there was Emma and Avery (again not real names). Emma was a tomboy and had opened up to me about being gay just a few months after meeting her. She always acted tough, but she used to talk to me about how much her family was against the LGBT community and how terrified she was of coming out of the closet. Avery always had a problem keeping her word about herself. She could be trusted, that wasn't the problem, but for example she used to say she was going vegan even though I would always catch her eating cheese. I think she was genuinely trying, but finally she decided to let it go. The same thing went for her sexuality, she would say she was bi but not once gave any clues to her being attracted to girls.

Lastly was Elizabeth. I had a love-hate relationship with that girl. She tried to understand things she just couldn't. She used to try to understand and help with my depression, but would always make it worse in the end. One day, I was a little low and she argued with me about "not killing myself" and other shit she had no right getting into. In the end she called up my mom and dad and I was sent to the mental ward that night. To others that way sound absolutely crazy, but despite that she's always tried to be helpful and at the very least she was a kind person.

P.S. I was unable to post yesterday because I had to go to dinner with some family and go to the movies.  That's not really a good excuse, seeing as there is 24 hours in the day but it'll have to do.  Also, keep in mind that this happened 2 years ago and I haven't been in contact with most of these people.  

Have a lovely day and remember, if the Apocalypse starts tomorrow good luck!
