-Flashback

She was building a sand castle when a boy came to destroy it. The boy poured the sand on her, and was about to beat her, when I walked in and shouted "back off" and the boy was startled.

He took a step forward trying to intimidate me, but I also took a step forward and looked at him in the eye. He stepped backward, shocked and ran away

"Yeah, that's it crybaby, go to momma" I shouted to the boy.

I looked at the girl on the sand. I helped her up and dusted my little black dress.

"hi, my name is Charlotte destina, I am seven years old" she said extending her hands, and smiling, exposing her broken tooth

"My name is Thessalonica Justine, I am also seven" I replied.

"nice meeting you"she said.

"yeah, same here"

"thank you so much, Bart is not usually like this, but he just lost his dad and he is still furious " she explained.

"Not a good reason to bully someone"

"You need a reason to bully someone?" The girls asked, and that was how she squeezed her way into my life.

One thing led to another I took my eyes of the Screen, and I found myself staring at Char's necklace that laid gently on the swell of my breast. Something about watching it slowly rise up and down made me peaceful. And at the same time, I couldn't hold back the sudden need to cry. So, I let it all out, which was probably not a good idea, because I had a lot of problem. I'm honestly just a hunk-a-junk-a-mess.

I heard a knock, so, I pulled myself up. Even though my vision was blurry from all the tears, I stretched out my hand and pulled the door open.

"Hi Tes, I just wanted to say ..."I can't clearly remember what Bart said next, all I knew was that I fell into his hands and everything turned black.
