This Is My Life

1

It wasn't even first period yet at school and I had already been pushed into the mud. This wasn't a good way to start the week. I walked through the hall receiving dirty looks from all the girls, and disgusted looks from the guys. I thought it was only girls that did that kind of stuff? I guess not when it comes to me.

I walked quickly away from all the stares to go early to first period. My clothes were splattered with mud, but I've had worse. 

It was the second week of school and people were starting to say stuff about me. They heard about the incident, but I think they heard a different version of it. Everyone was acting strange, and even my friend Kat was ignoring me. Avoiding me like the plague with everyone else. I figured I could deal with it. It would pass soon. I was walking to my class when a girl walked by me and called me a psychopath. Another girl said I should leave and no one wanted me around. As they walked past they dumped a full smoothie over my head. That was going to be hard to ignore. 

I sat in the very back of the class, the seats around me were all empty. Figures. I just wanted the day to be over. Like I always did. This wasn't a way to live.

School dragged on as it usually did, and when it was finally over I was the last to leave, letting everyone leave first. I walked to my lockers after the hallways were cleared, to grab my stuff. I opened my locker to find a note fall out. I was going to just throw it out, but something told me to just read it. It said:

I'm sorry for the way people treat you. It's unfair. I am here for you. Meet me by the giant clock downtown at eight tonight. :)

The note never said who it was from. It was the first note I had received that didn't use psycho, or loser, or any other profane word. I was so excited I didn't give it a second thought. I was going to go. If there was a chance I could make just one friend, I would take it. I raced home ignoring the nasty look I received from strangers.

Did I mention that it's not only the students at my school that didn't seem to like me, but my whole village. I lived in a little town. Mostly everyone knew each other. That didn't help me at all. But today I didn't care I was going to make a friend. Or so I thought.
