I heard a cry for help. I put my phone in my bag, put my bag on and ran towards the noise. I saw a guy rolling on the ground in pain while another guy wearing black had run away. I turned the guy over that was on the ground to see his face, "Matt!" There goes the idea of ignoring his existence.

He looked at me confused. "Crystal?"
"Are you ok?!" I asked worried and helped him up. "Yeah I'm fine." He said scratching the back of his head. "Are you sure." I questioned him. "Yes, I'm fine!"

I stood back, "Well sorry for ever asking." I then turned to walk back to the seat I was once sitting at when he grabbed a hold of my arm.

"Sorry." He said looking like he was about to cry. Shit..he's about to cry. What do I do! He let go of my arm and without thinking I gave him a hug. "It's ok." I whispered in his ear as he hugged me.

"What happened?" I asked him pulling away from the hug. "I'd rather not talk about it."

I frowned, "Ok." We then started walking to the bench where I was sitting.

"Soooooo." I said trying to break the awkward silence. "What have you been doing lately?" I asked out of curiosity. "Nothing really."

"You still into Eevees?" I laughed, "Yeah, they're soo cute."

"You haven't changed one bit." He said smiling, and I smiled back.

*Flash back*
"Hey Crystal." "Hi Matt! " I said smiling. " I got something for you." He said waving something in my face. "What is it?" I asked as he handed it to me. "OMG IT'S UMPREON!" I yelled giving him a big hug. " Thank you!" I said hugging him tighter. "Your welcome." He said smiling.
*Flash back over*

I smiled at the memory. I used to hang out with Matt all the time in primary untill he moved schools. I went to his house a couple of times but we lost contact for a while.

We were obsessed with Pokemon....and well I still am, just I hide it. I hide it because I don't feel comfortable sharing it with anyone but Matt because I'm afraid they'll judge me for it before they even get to know me.

Like one great person said, 'Don't judge a book by it's cover.' I was staring into space with a blank face getting into deep thoughts when Matt clicked his fingers in front of my face, "Are you ok?" He asked.

"Yeah I'm fine." I said forcing a fake smile. "Getting into deep thoughts are you?"
"Maybe." I said looking away.

We both sat on the bench.

"So what were you thinking about?"  
"Nothing." 
"Im sure it wasn't nothing."
"Fine I was thinking about-"

I was going to finish my sentence when i heard my phone go off. I grabbed my phone out of my bag and checked it. I had 5 messages and 5 miss calls from my mum. "Shit." All the messages ended up being this:

How was school?

When are you coming home?

Did you get bullied again?

Are you ok?

CRYSTAL LEE HILLS ANSWER ME!

Matt then looked at my phone and smirked,  "Well someone's in trouble." I looked at him with a blank expression, "You think." I then texted my mum back.

I'm ok don't worry I'm on my way home now.

He looked at my phone again, "You're leaving awwwww." He said pouting. I playfully punched him. "Yes, I'm leaving. I'm sure you will survive on your own for the rest of the night." I said looking at him then the sky realizing it was dark.

"Are you sure.....I might die."

I laughed, "I'm sure, if you can live without me for years, you can live without seeing me for the rest of the night." I said smiling at him.

He then pouted again and looked at the ground, "Stop it your killing me with your lameness!" I laughed.

"Hey! You're not meant to say 'lameness' you're meant to say adorableness!" He said faking hurt.

"Why would I lie to you though? Your anything but adorable." I laughed.

After a minute I calmed down. "Ok I gotta go or else I'll be in the shit. I'll talk to you tomorrow." I said walking off waving.

"Bye!" He yelled, because I was far away.

About 10 minutes later I had made it home. There was 4 cars parked at our house, so everyone was home. I sighed and opened the door.

My mum came running up to me "Crystal!" She hugged me tightly. "Mum...I'm ok." I said struggling to breathe. She then let go, "I was so worried!" I sighed, "Yeah I know." She then walked off to who knows where. "Crystal!" My little sister Ffion (pronounced as FI-ON)  gave me a hug. "Yeah, love you too Ffion." I said breaking the hug. What's with all the hugs today.

I walked into my room chucked my bag on the floor and flopped onto my single bed. I stared at the ceiling, the plain white ceiling, not knowing what to do. "Crystal!!!" I heard my brother Ryan yell. I ignored him.

A couple of minutes later he stormed into my room. "Crystal! Why didn't you answer me!"

I love it, you don't go to them and they come to you.

"Number one: don't come into MY room to yell at ME
Number two: Ever heard of knocking?
And number three: WHAT!"

He just stood in front of me holding a work book. "What!" I said sitting up. "Mr.Herric said you have to help me with my homework." He said cheerfuly....too cheerful.

"Usually when you say that I end up doing all of your homework." I said as I gave him a death glare.

If looks could kill he'd be dead a thousand times over.

I sighed again, "When's it due?"

"Next Monday." I flopped back on my bed.

"I'll do it tomorrow,  I'm busy." I said staring at the ceiling again.

"Busy doing what? Your just on your bed doing nothing."

"I'm very busy." I said now looking at him.

"Doing what!" I let out a deep breath, "I'm busy thinking."

"About what?" He questioned me and took another step forward. "Stuff. And did I ever invite you to come in!" I yelled cracking my knuckles. He then ran off.

"That's what I thought."
