Harry's POV

I've been sitting here for like ten minutes and the bell still hasn't rung yet.
In front of me Danny and other four bullies of the fifth grade are sending kisses in my way walking in a girly way and smiling like douches.
God, I'd love to beat the hell out of them.

"Hi Harry!" I hear a familiar voice that I haven't heard in a long time.

"Lettie!" I scream surprised. Lettie was my neighbour since the last year, then she had to move for her parents divorce and now she goes to an other school.

I hug her tight. I missed her so much in the last months, I wanted to talk to her and tell her everything, well now I can.

"How are you Haz?" She asks smiling.

"Quite good" I whisper.

Lettie looks at me and twists her mouth.

"Are you sure everything is "quite good" Haz?" She asks miming the quotation marks with her fingers.

I sigh

"Yes...I mean...No" I nervously play with my fingers.

"I knew there was something bad going on Harold" Lettie says. When she calls me Harold I know we have to talk seriously.

"But let's move from here...there are too many dickheads here..." says Lettie taking my hand and looking at Danny and his mates.

Lettie brought me next to re fountain, in the middle of the yard. We sit on the wet side and some drops are coming on our backs.

"What's going on Harry, tell me everything" asks Lettie.

"Danny..." As I whisper that name Lettie's eyes start to fill in anger.

"What happened?" Lettie asks furiously. She has always been "harder" than me, even if she looks like a fancy girl.

"He beats me, he says that for a faggot like me there's no place here" words left my mouth like an airplane leaves the airport.

"Oh Harry I'm so sorry, I just want them to understand you an accept you for who you are..." Lettie hugs me.

"I want it too, Lettie..." I whisper holding her tighter. I couldn't wish for a better friend.

The bell has just ringed.

"Now I have to go Lettie" I say kissing her cheek.

"Hey wait, I'm coming too!" She loudly screams.

I stare at her in a weird way.

"I want to say hi to Mrs.Darling!" She smiles as we enter in the school.

"For how long are you staying?" I ask her hoping for an answer that would make me happy.

"For two weeks. I finished school yesterday and I decided to come here! I will stay at my auntie's house this two weeks". She says happily.

I'm so happy too to have my bestie next to me for two weeks and I feel like I can talk to her and tell her all my thoughts and feelings, without being scared.

A bit of a boring chapter...
But the best is yet to come
