Just saying guys, before you read this. I don't want any negativit towards anyone in this chapter. ♡♡♡♡♡
When I was in 9th grade, I was pretty much a loner in sport (literally). And I didn't really want to interact with any of the other girls in my class cause most of them would have probably got annoyed as they were with their own group of friends. But there was this one girl who stood out, I was quite hesitant to go to her but once we were lined up in our groups for a basketball match, she was standing right in front of me so i thought It was the perfect chance to talk to her since I figured she was a loner too. Before I could even say hello she turned around, faced me, and said ''hey can I tell you something, but I dont want you to get upset'' and so I said sure. What she said was very inappropriate and quite mean and when she said that I realised the whole class was quiet and they were all looking at me. I didn't cry nor did I get angry but I just got on with the lesson. However I was very hurt but I didn't want to show it because if I did, that girl would have had that satisfaction. So for about 3 weeks I kind of kept to myself and had made an excuse to just get out of playing sport and I just wanted to avoid that girl. Probably by the end of term 1, It was halfway through the lesson and keep in mind that I remember everything that happened at that moment... I asked the teacher if I could go to the bathroom and so I did. When I just opened the door, I could hear crying and someone sobbing so I started walking towards that cubicle. I stood there for about a minute or so just thinking what to do and by the end of my thoughts I asked if that person was ok. Surprisingly, it was that girl who had commented badly to me. So i put it through my head that I should still help her regardless of what she said because I understood her pain. So i asked her if she could unlock the door and come out. She unlocked the door but she didn't come out so I decided to go in. I went in and sat next to her and usually when I'm upset I want a hug. So i hugged her and she after, a while hugged me back. Once we broke the hug and once she stopped crying, I asked her if she wanted to talk about it. And so she did. She told me how these group of girls were saying negative things about her and how she was raised and stuff about her culture. And I gave her the feedback that she needed once she finished. I asked her if she even had any friends and she told me she didn't. So i asked her to hang out with my friends and I. And from then till now, we have stuck together like glue. Funny thing is, she has never apologised for what she said to me and I have never brought it up or even asked her about it and to be honest, I don't really want to. We have come such a long way together and I have seen her grow to become such a strong person and I admire her through that. I helped her achieve it and I grew her faith to become stronger and also I grew mine.
