Stronger

I stared at the ceiling. All of my thoughts coursing through my veins. Today I start my sophomore year of high school at a new school. That means I have to explain everything. My whole story again. I have to feel all of the pity from people who don't even know me.

The steps began to creek signing someone was coming. My door opened Slowly.

" Ali it's time to get up." Lena whispered.

"Okay Lena. I'm up. "

Lena left me in peace to get ready. I got up from my bed and stared at my dis shoveled appearance in the mirror. I softly ran my fingers over the smooth picture of my parents. I miss them so much. As I felt a tear trickle down my cheek I snapped out of my daze.

I tamed my long brown hair by brushing it and quickly fish tailed it down my back. I walked over to my closet and picked out a navy blue top, light wash shorts, my white converse and some bracelets. Once that was done I put on my brace. I got it shortened last week. Hopefully not many people will stare at the plastic thing that was wrapped around my right leg.

I was just about to put some mascara on my lashes when Mia walked in. Her ponytails perfectly symmetrical to each other. She looked like the adorable six year old she is.

" Ali?"

" What is it Mia?"

"Are you scared?"

"Scared of what?"

"What the kids will say. You are different. "

" I know I am. All I'm hoping for is some friends!" I smiled weakly at her. But she didn't buy it. She's so damn smart.

"Ali." She whined.

" What?" I whined back at her.

" I'm scared for you."

" Oh Mia. Don't be. It is scary for everyone. Going to a new school is just a different scary for me."

" What do you mean Ali?" She asked with curiosity filled eyes.

" Well the kids that are normal worry about who they are going to be friends with and where they are going to sit at lunch. I worry about those things but I also worry about getting bullied like at my old school."

" What happened?"

" It was before you came here... I got bullied by this one girl, Chastity and her friends. They punched me, pushed me against lockers and called me names."

Mia had tears in her eyes. She hugged me and kissed my hand.

" I love you Ali. If any mean people come get you I will kick their butts!" she cheered and began punching and kicking the air making me laugh.

" Okay Mia I have to get ready more."

" Can I help?" she asked me.

"Sure!" I said as I took her hand and walked her over to my vanity.

" Can you hand me that tube?" I asked pointing to the mascara.

" Here you go."

I applied it to my long lashes making them darker and fuller. Mia handed me my lip gloss and I put a little of that on.

" How do I look?"

"Beautiful! Except... you need this!" She handed me my brown leather backpack.

"Turn around please."

I twirled for her to see my outfit.

" Perfect! You are ready!"

" Great. Now come on. Let's go. Lena has breakfast for us and all of the other kids." I said.

She grabbed my hand and we skipped down the stairs.
