How It Was Back Then

Prologue

It all started that one day at school. It seemed as if I were a ghost. No one talked to me. I had already lost a friend. but I am kind of over that now I need to move on start on a new slate. But then something tragic happened. Me, Violet Rogers "Miss Goody Two Shoes" was called to Miss Hoggbottom's office. It was all because of him Tom my old best friend who was always there for me. Maybe he's going to tell me why he left me hanging, or maybe he is making up yet another lie for me to get in trouble. First I should tell you how it was back then.

Then

On the night before school started I started Typing ' Hey how are you, can't wait to start the new year. what class are you in? how was christmas?' I started back spacing. I was with my best friend Abigail. She said " don't say that he is ignoring me as well don't worry he probably got his phone confiscated" I replied " ok see you tomorrow" then she left so she could pack her lunch.

One Week Later

As I walked into School for 2015. I saw my new classmates. half the girls were in the other class last year but thankfully Abigail, Tom and Cecelia were in my class. As I walked in Zoe the very bubbly girl that was in the other class last year came up to me. she said while jumping "oh my gosh, we are in the same class! ahhhhhhhhhh!!" It is hard to keep up with Zoe sometimes.

Once we dropped off our heavy bags. We went straight to assembly. All during assembly Zoe kept whispering I told her to shut up.This year I promised myself to do more work and focus on studies,not get involved in gossip.

Weeks went by and they turned into months, Then it was school holidays. According to Zoe and Abigail, Tom wanted to talk to me. but he didn't and that made me so curious.

Through out the school holidays all I wanted to do was just talk to Tom about what had happened. I talked to Abigail about it but she just told me that it was fine.

When we went back to school I was very resilient about talking to him. what would he think? how would it come across. I had so many sleepless nights just thinking of how to talk to him. Then it came at ten o'clock at night I grabbed my pen and paper and started to write. I originally wrote a song but I settled on a note because it seemed more formal. Abigail gave it to Tom as I watched from a distance. Recently Tom had been hanging around the 'cooler people' apparently I wasn't cool enough. He is still friends with Abigail and Cecelia but for some reason not me.

I saw him open the note. He read it. I was expecting him to march over and tell me that it was stupid and that I should just let it go. But he reads it for five minutes then I saw him scrunch it up and throw it over the fence. My mouth dropped as I started approaching him. I was furious. I couldn't believe that my best friend would do that. Everyone who was in the 'cool group' were over there laughing. Abigail came up and said " Violet I wouldn't go over there if I were you" as she guided me away. I felt as if my heart shattered into millions of pieces. once she explained what had happened I just cried, I couldn't hold it back. I couldn't believe that I had just lost one of my best friends.

Over the passing weeks I collected myself together. I finally got the guts to talk to someone about it... my mum. She tried comforting me but it didn't help at all, it just hurt so much.

Now

As I approach Miss Hoggbottom's office I see Tom with the most suspicious grin on his face. He's done something and it's not good. Miss Hoggbottom asks me to sit down. This is going to be long is the first thing that comes to mind. Miss Hoggbottom starts " We are here today to talk about the things that Violet is saying about Tom. Tom would you like to start off?" Tom replies " na, ladies first". so I begin " Tom, I don't know where to begin." I start to cry. Tom see's that I can't handle it he says " well ever since... and.. I ... You... nevermind. Miss Hoggbottom can we just call this off" Miss Hoggbottom looks at us both but Tom is looking at me. I say "wait. please. I can do it I just needed to get through my mind that I'm finally getting the chance to talk to Tom" I was not prepared at all I had only practice my questions in the mirror. not face to face. " so I was wondering why you shut me out, it was kind of unexpected and I feel as if there is something that isn't including me but you're taking it out on me" I started as he looked at me as if i was speaking a different language. Tom was speechless.
