The Psychopath Girl

New Friend?

Alice came back to her classroom and took a seat after she went to the girls toilet to wash her hands. Thankfully, there's no one to bother her when she was on her way back to class. She took out her favorite novel from her maroon bag pack and started to read silently. The class was a bit noisy but she can concentrate very well if she avoids them.

Unfortunately, it's only take a few minutes for her leisure time to end when the girls who always targets at her, came to her desk, crossing their arms. "Hey loser. So we just realized that you're trying to avoid from us." said the girl with curl blond hair named Brittany. Alice kept reading her book, not minding their business. But her heart beats in fear that she knew what's gonna happen next if she doesn't reply.

The other girl with straight brown hair, Kathy, who's a bit taller than Brittany, slammed her hand on top of her desk and gives her a glared. "Don't make us wait for you to speak up retard. You don't want us to beat you up don't you?"

Alice doesn't want something embarrassed happen to her. So she puts down her novel and look up to them. "I am." she admits. "See? It's not that hard to talk, is it?" Brittany gave her a fake smile while her other friends chuckled, staring at her. The other two girls standing beside Kathy who are identical twins, Emi and Amy, look at her in digust and the last one beside Amy is Grace who always chew bubble gum everyday. "What do you want?" Alice asked them nervously.

"We just wanted to see how you're doing and..." Brittany picked up the novel and slowly turn the page one by one. "That thing suck." said Kathy, staring at it in disbelief. "Really? Well then.." Unexpectedly, Brittany started to rip and crumble the pages of the book. "Wai- Stop!" Alice try to snatch it from her but Grace pushed her back into her seat. After she ripped all of it, she threw it back onto her desk. "If Kathy doesn't like something, that 'something' will have to destroy. Anyway, I hope you study well until your head burst like a balloon. Bye nerdy." They wave at her goodbye and started to laugh wickedly on their way out of the class.

She can't believe what they just did to her favorite novel. It was given by her late parents on her 12th birthday.

Alice can't help but to gather all of the pages and cover of the book, putting it inside her bag. She holds back her tears while some students in her class stare at her and gossips this and that. Alice doesn't care what they think of her because she's already used to it.

After she done, she takes her bag pack with her and head to the library school. As she passed the students in the corridor, they started to whisper on each other ear while giving her a disgust look. "Hey nerdy!" one of the guys called and everyone started to laugh out loud. She quickly walk away from there.

After a moment, she arrived at the library and surprisingly, there are no sign of the students inside. It was quiet. She felt relieved and decided to go upstairs to the second floor. Alice started to find another interesting story book to read. It takes about 15 minutes for her to find the right one. She puts down her bag beside her and sits against one of the large book shelves, started to read. By doing this, she'll forget all the bad things that had happened to her. It's calming her down. She felt peaceful sitting alone while doing her favorite thing. Avoiding everyone is the best way to have her leisure time.

Not long, she heard a girl voice calling her name. "Alice?" She looks up from her book to see a feminine girl with black hair, holding her book against her chest. "You're Alice Braun right?" asked the girl. "Yes I am." Alice replied. She knows everyone hate her and expects being treated the same way. But it's rare for a girl like her to come up to her. "Ca- can I sit with you? I saw you came in here awhile ago. It- it's okay. I'm not like the others." She stuttered. Is this a prank, Alice though. "Sure." The girl nervously walked to her and sit down. "Um.. I- I'm Hillary John. Ni- Nice to meet you Alice." She reaches out her hand to shake and I did the same. "Nice meeting you Hillary. What brings you here?" asked Alice, staring at her. "I'm not good at socialing with public so I decided to go here and then I saw you. I.. want to avoid them." she lowered her head.

"Avoid?" asked Alice. Hillary nodded slowly. "I don't like them gossiping, judging or bullying over someone. I'm fed up with immature people you know. So avoiding them is better. That's why I don't have any friends."

"Really? Then you're a loner just like me. But you don't wanna befriend with me 'cause you already know that everyone hate this nerdy. You better go before they caught you hanging out with a loser like me." Alice warned her before continue reading the book. "No. I don't. I- I- want to befriend with you A- Alice. I don't have anyone to talk to everyday when I come to school. So maybe this is a good chance to get to know you. I don't care if they judge us. I just want a friend that I can always hang with, or maybe that can comfort me when I'm down?" Hillary blushed, twiddling her thumbs. Her honest feelings make Alice giggles. "Is that a love confession? Hahaha. Well, okay. But don't complain if you get bully like me." Alice joked. "Reallyyy? Then are we... friends?" Hillary eyes were sparkling, waiting for my final answer.

"Yup. It's official Hill." Alice smiled but felt weird because it's been so long since she stopped smiling when she got bullied after the incident. On the other hand, Hillary was super happy until she shed tears. "I can't believe I finally got my very first friend! Thank you Alice." she wipes her tears and gave Alice a hug. She hugged her back. She finds it hard to believe all of these things are happening to her because it's pretty obvious that she's a loser that no one wants to come near her. But maybe not Hillary who has become her friend in just a short time. Alice wouldn't be alone anymore because she already has someone that willing to be by her side. New friend, huh?, she thought.
