The Total Outcasts

Chapter 3: Memories

Chriselda's POV

Yesterday I became friends with my classmates. At first, we were searching for Amellie's doll but it turns out that Robbie, Keifer, Kaylee, Amellie and I were meant to be friends. All my life I was an outcast. Nobody understands me..

They say I laugh too much..

but they never knew.. that its the only way to hide my feelings

To hide my sadness..because of being different.

When I was young my parents were always fighting..

As I grew older my parents got divorced and I was separated from my older brother.

I lived with my Mom and my brother lived with my Dad..

but she

died

3 years ago

because of cancer...

I was left alone.. I was angry at her. Why did she have to die!? 

I never cried.. I never smiled

I feel empty...  What's the point in life when everything seems so wrong?

My Dad tried to convince me to live with him and my brother

but I refused.. I lived with my Aunt instead

Years have passed.. I still don't feel anything. I was the silent kid. I never wanted to talk to anyone.. or to be friends with anyone..they will all leave me in the end. Just like my Mom.

Until the day I met my first friend.. Robbie Jacobs

*FLASHBACK*

"Hey loser!", somebody called me. That's what everyone in school called me.. "Loser".. "Outcast".."Antisocial"... But i didn't care... 

"Stop calling her a loser! She's not!", a voice came from behind me.

It was Robbie.. and i have to admit it.

This was the first time somebody stood up for me.

"So you wanna do something about it NERD?", said one of the bullies and everyone started laughing.

I can't take it anymore.. Oh, they can insult me anytime they want but not Robbie.

I punched the guy in the face and it seems af if his nose was broken.

"FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!!!", everybody was shouting.

"Stop it Chriselda! He's not worth it!", Robbie tried to hold me off but I ignored him.

"Don't worry Robbie..I can take care of him", I told him.

"OOOOOHHHH!", people started to scream.

"You heard that man? that outcast said she can take care of you!", said one of the guys.

"Oh yeah!!? Lets see then!!"

"FIGHT!!! FIGHT!! FIGHT!! FIGHT!!"

I kicked the bully on the "Where-it-hurts-the-most" spot and punched him on the face.

His nose was bleeding..

And the crowd was cheering

but the teacher came and put us in detention.

The principal informed my Dad about what happened. When i went home Dad was waiting for me at my Aunt's house and he's not very pleased.

"Chriselda Erin Hawkins.. What in the world happened to you!? First you wouldn't talk to us and now you're fighting at school?! What's wrong with you", My dad said.

But instead of being guilty.. there was a smile on my face.

I grinned until I burst out laughing.

"BWAHAHAHAHAH!!! Come on Dad!!.. BWAHAHAH! we haven't talked to each other for years and this is what we are talking about?? WHAHAHAH!!!", but instead of being angry my dad just smiled and patted my back.

After that incident Robbie and I transferred to Cresentine Academy and i also  found out that Robbie was my neighbor. I went to his house to thank him for what he did for me.

"Hey Robbie.. I wan't to tell you something", i told him.

"Huh? What's that?"

"I want to thank you for what you did for me back at school.. its the first time somebody stood up for me.." I shyly said.

"Nahh.. it was nothing.. by the way.. that punch was legendary!! and that kick was epic!!!"

"Bwahaha thanks! So wanna play a video game? i got this really cool game from my brother i think i should try it out"

"Sure! why not?? Wahahaha.. but first you should teach me how to do that punch"

We both burst out laughing..

*End of flashback*

Keifer's POV

It was our luch break.. I'm glad survival lessons were next! Awesome subject awesome.

I entered the school cafeteria and saw Chriselda . I think she was thinking something deeply.

"Sorry to ruin your concentration Chris.. but are you alright?", I asked her

"Yeah...I'm fine, just having one of those flashbacks or something", she replied

"Woah cool.. like déjà vu? from your past life?..BWahahah!! ^___^"

"No.. its a long story.. you already knew that by the way"..

"Yeah sure.. sure. Hey, have you seen Robbie?"

"I'm sure he's just out there.. looking for ideas for his new robotic inventions.. you know him"

"Yeah.. just like old times.. Okay see ya"

I told her then left.. Glad i'm carrying my guitar

I will always remember the day i thought of playing a guitar..

Many years ago.. i really like this childhood friend of mine

She was really good at singing while I have no interest in music.

She taught me how wonderful music is..

That's why i like her..

I would always tell her that video games are the best

And she would always explain that music is much better...

But she didn't know i was secretly learning to play a guitar

but little did i know..

She was leaving.. She was going to France to be with her Mom.

It was her birthday.. And that was the day i wrote a song for her

but she already left..

I miss her…

I wonder if she remembers me

“Dude its survival time”, one of my classmates patted me on the back.

“Oh..” I clumsily got up and went into our classroom.

Yup.. survival time.

but will I survive the sadness caused by these memories?
