* Mariana P.O.V.

When I was young, I suffered from many nightmares, and it made me crazy. But, I love it. One day at school in 2nd grade, I saw a girl being picked on just because they didn't understand her. Sometimes, when I see people getting picked on, I get crazy on them. I moved the guys and girls out of the way. There weren't just guys picking on her there were girls also. They left when they saw who I was. Because they knew how I was. Once they left, I began to talk to her.

"Hi, I'm Mariana."

"Hi, I'm Xylan."

"Why were they picking on you?"

"Because, they think I cut, when I don't. I tried explaining that to them, but they won't and don't understand."

"So...what do you do? Why are you labeled emo?"

"I don't like to share my emotions. I stay very quiet. I dress well...like this. I don't have any friends. Once, I almost did, but I changed my mind. I saw that it wasn't going to solve anything. It was just going to cause more problems. What's wrong with you? They don't back away from just anyone."

"Oh, I'm, uh, I'm crazy."

"Who isn't?"

"No, I'm really crazy."

"Oh. Want to be friends."

"Sure." We stood good friends.

* Xylan's P.O.V.

A year after meeting Mariana, I was walking one day down the school halls. I was passing by the detention room. When I saw a girl being picked on.

* inside the room

"What's wrong Lanie? Cat got your tongue now."

"No, I stand up for what I say."

"You're so lame." I walked into the room.

"Hey, leave her alone."

"Oh, really. What are you going to do about?" I just stood quiet.

"Come on." The girl followed me.

"Thank you."

"No problem. My name is Xylan."

"My name is Lanie."

"Come on. I'll introduce you to Mariana."

"Okay." We went to Mariana.

M: Xy(it's what she calls me), who's this?

X: Mar(it's what I call her), this is Lanie. She was being bullied.

M: Nice to meet you.

L: Like wise. So...why is it only you two?

M: Well, I'm crazy...

X: And, I'm a miss understood emo.

L: Cool.

M: Yeah, I know.

* a year ago

X: Shh...here he comes.

L: Who?

M: Chandler

C: Hey girls.

M&X: Hey.

C: Who's this?

L: I'm Lanie.

C: Nice meeting you.

We then heard girls screaming.

C: Hide me.

H&X&L: Okay.

We hid him behind us. The crowd of girls ran straight past us.

C: Thank you.

He walked away.

L: Oh, my, I think I'm in love.

M: I know.

X: Ew.

L: But, I have a boyfriend already.

M: Who is he?

L: Do you know Jason?

X: Yeah, he's part of our emo group.

L: Yeah, him.

M: Cool.

We became and stood good friends. We are all now in the 9th grade. We're all 14 now. We went to the mall, and some girl came up to us asking for directions. After the insident, I became very sarcastic. I was very rude to her, and I felt bad. We later brought her into our apartment. We got kicked out of our houses so...we moved in together. We added our phone numbers to her phone, and the four of us girls became good friends.
