The Lost Little Girl

A New Friend

As a little girl my life was different from others. My name is Scarlet, I have blue eyes, which has puzzle pieces in them, I like them but others not so much. We moved to Waco, Texas when my mom and dad got divorced. I live with my mom now. My childhood was never the best because I was bullied by everyone and now I'm starting high school.
I start my new school in november, as a sophomore, which gives me a month to unpack. One night my mom can in "sweetheart, I have your supplies for the new year" she said in a very happy tone. "Thanks" is all I said without looking up. I heard her sigh which made me look up at her.
"Look Scarlet, I know moving here was sad and it is a new school and all but things may change for the better" she said hoping to cheer me up. I gave her a fake smile and took the supplies from her and put it in my book bag. Then I watched as my mom leave my room.
I know she is right but as I say people never want to change. Will it ever change, maybe freshman year will surprise me. Well till then I will try not to think about it, everything will be okay, I tried to tell myself.
"Time to get up, first day of school" my mom yelled at me from the bottom of the stairs. "No! Leave me here to die" I yelled back as I covered my head with my blanket. Then, my lights illuminate my room as my mom walked in. She pulled off my blanket and told me to get up and walked out.
I got up, put on a black skirt with purple tights and a maroon blouse and added black flats. I brushed out my hair and added my black and purple bat clip to pull back some of my longer bangs.
"Good morning my dear" my mom said as I walked into the kitchen. I got some coffee and went to sit down. As I sipped my coffee, my mom set down some pancakes with butter and syrup. When I finished my breakfast, I brushed my teeth and grabbed my bookbag.
I waited for 15 minutes till the bused showed. "Are you new I haven't seen you before" the bus driver said to me. "Yes, this is my first day ma'am" t told her. She smiled and I took the first open seat. When we got to school I just looked around. Was not as big as my old school. "Are u new little girl?" I hear from behind. "Yes I am" I look at her as I turned around. She had brown hair with blue eyes. She had t see friends behind her. One had brown hair with brown eyes, one had blond hair with green eyes, and the last one red hair with blue eyes.
"My name is ashlen and this is my school and you better not forget it" she told me very rudely. I just look at her as if she was crazy. "Who says it's your school" I asked. "Because it just is alright so back off" the one with red hair said. "Now, now Maria we don't need a crowd" Ashlen told her. They started to circle around me. "What is your name anyway" Ashlen asked me. "Scarlet" I simply told her a little scared. "What a nice name too bad it doesn't match your outfit" she said as she got closer and closer and was about to rip my blouse when someone yelled. "Hey Ashlen, back off" the boy yelled.
"How dare you" she shouted at him. She got so mad she ran off with her friends following. "You okay" the boy asked me. I was so shocked by what happened I ran as fast as my legs would go and went straight to the front desk.
"Here are your classes" the lady said and went back to her work. "Thank you" is all I told her and went to my first class.
I found out I was close to home so I walked. When I got home no one was there, but I found a note. "Hi sweetheart, I went out to to get food and shopping I will be home soon see you tonight" is all it said. I went to my room. As I got my door I can hear meowing from behind the door. I slowly open the door and out came a solid black with green eyes. "Why hello there" I said as we both walked in my room.
I found a note from my mom. "I got her for you, hope she makes you happy"o smiled as I read the note to myself. "What will I call you"I said out loud. Out of the blue it hit me. "I'll call you midnight" and just like that she purred and curled up on my bed and went to sleep. I started to think about what happen this morning. "Hey, back off" played over and over in my head. I was thinking about finding him tomorrow but what if I upset him when I ran away. I was starting to feel guilty, which may I add don't get very much. (Because I don't have friends) I heard the front door open and close down stairs. " I'm home sweetie" my mom yelled out, I came down to say hello with Midnight behind me. "Hi Mom" I said as she was putting away groceries. "Hello how was your first day of school?" she asked me. I wa scared to say what happened this morning. "It was okay" I said hoping she wouldn't ask any more about it. "Alright what happened, I know when you are hiding something, and I also know you talk about things like that but what is it" she said as she turned to face me. I sighed knowing I can't hide it anymore. "Well, you see the bullying started already" I started. "And" she asked wanting me to continue and raising a eyebrow. "Oh, just this boy was sticking up for me" I said at last. She looked at me at me for a moment and then started to smile at me. "Well that's good did you say thank you to him or did you chicken out" she asked hoping it was the first one. "I ran" is all I said looking down at the floor. "Well tell him tomorrow no excuses" she told me and walked away leaving me there to think of how I was going to talk to him, I have never talked to anyone other than teachers, my family, or adults at school or home. What am I going to do? I went to my room and took a warm shower and went to bed. What am i going to do about this.
