Chapter 28

Today is the first day of first grade. I'm scared and nervous. My mom told me that today is going to be different than kindergarten. It's like a whole new level. I was actually a little happy to see what teacher I have. But I'm not happy to see anyone because I don't have any friends.

My mom kissed me goodbye and I jumped off the car. Everyone was at morning recess having fun and playing around with their friends. I donut understand why people hate me. Because I have braces, glasses, and brunette short hair? I have no idea.

I sat down on the curve and looked down at the ground. Why would they hate me if I never did anything to them. What's their problem? I stood up and walked towards a girl with long brown hair.

"Hi. . . My name is Pa-"

"Ew get away from me you freak."

She walked away with her friends and I was just standing there with no motion. The bell rang and we went inside class with our teacher. I asked the teacher if I could sit in the back alone with no one else. She looked confused but let me. I had such imagination with my drawing skills that I began to draw flowers. I started smiling for once with my work. I finished but someone came by me and took my paper.

"Is this your drawing?" He asked me. I nodded back and he crumbled the paper,"Well to bad." And then he walked away. I can't talk back because I'm just way to shy. I can't even ask to use the bathroom because I'm scared someone is going to hurt me. I'd rather just die right now so I won't have to go through all of this pain. But that thought changed after I met him.

Ricky.

After he had saved me from the bullies during lunch. He was my new best friend. He never judged me and we both promised each other we would never ever separate.

I was never alone at lunch. Ricky was always with me so I wouldn't be alone. But that day. When I told him I was going to move, our friendship fell apart for me. But not for Ricky.

"Don't worry," he said,"I will find a way to see you again." He smiled and I nodded back as usual,"I'll come back better and stronger. I will always protect you. Remember," He said looking at the flower swaying on the grass,"If you ever find a light yellow dandelion, that means I'm here. I'm there for you."

Later on that day I packed all of my stuff and hugged Ricky goodbye.

"Out friendship won't end." He whispered to me.

"I know Ricky." I smiled and walked away to my car.

I looked out the window watching Ricky stare at me. He had a note in his hand. I wonder what it said on it.

Ricky's self was fading away until I couldnt see him anymore. I turned around and looked at nature surrounding me. I saw a garden full of dandelions and smiled.

I imagined me and Ricky just sitting down on the grass looking at them.

"Don't worry, Paulina, I'll find you." I could hear him say.
