She never knew

Chapter 4

5th was nothing new just the same things but more detailed. Now I'm in 6th grade and feeling something, I don't know what but it makes me feel worthless

"Sweetie you're worthless we all know, and no one wants to be friends with you"

"Shut up", I guess someone heard me because someone is walking over to me. "Fuck" "Shit" "What do I do".

"Hi I see you're alone and thought you could use a friend, I'm Emily".

"Wendy". I thought to myself "why are you talking to me?"

"She pittys you can't you see, she feels bad for you but why should she you deserve to be alone"

I just stand there looking like an idiot because I'm not use to people walking up to me and asking to be my friend, "I just thought you needed a friend and you seem like a pretty cool girl to hang out with". Wait did she just call me cool?

Wow she's pretty good at acting she should win an Oscar for caring about you

Shut up stupid voice. "Thanks Emily, I could use a friend", she looked like she was happy that I was her friend. Soon the bell rang it was time for us to back to class. "Hey give me your phone number and I'll text tonight", I gave her my phone number and told her that we should get to know each other better.

Wow I actually have a friend, a real friend one that's like me and not just an imaginary friend!

Don't hold your breath she's not going to text you so stop acting like someone wants you around

For the first time in awhile I ignored the voice because I was joyful again, joyful that I might have a shot at having a normal life again.

Later that night while I was reading I got a text from an unknown number that said

E: Hey its Emily is this Wendy?

I was surprised she actually texted me I thought she would just forget about and not talk to me after today but I was wrong I texted her back
W: Hey Emily this is Wendy
E: Cool so what are you up to?
Do I say a lie and try to be cool or tell her the truth of my boring ass life that no one cares about
W: Just reading a book
It took a minute or two before she texted back
E: Cool, do you want to hang out?? Its okay if you don't want to
She wants to hang out with me? This hasn't happened before, what would we do? what would we talk about? we barely know each other what if she ends up hating me?
W: Depends on where we would hang out
She must be really bored to be talking to you again, and trying to hang out with a stupid outcast like you.
E: We can hang out by a park near the school its the one with a small pond and huge playground

I know that park well, I know it well because anytime I feel like running off I go there instead of somewhere I don't know. That place was like a second home to me.

W: Sure I'll be there in 5 minutes
E: Cool I'll meet you there then :)

I start walking over to the park until I see a group of kids from school there, I don't want anything to do with them. They're known for bullying kids for no reason and I don't need to go through bullying again.

"Hey I don't think hiding behind a tree counts as meeting up at the park". I turn around to see Emily in her baby blue jacket and her outfit from school with a little bow in her hair.

"Yeah I know its just those kids are there and they're bullies and I don't want to get involved in that again". She looks at thinking of something then she says
"Let's pull a park on them!" Is she crazy?! I could never pull prank on anyone especially those people
"Are you crazy?!", "Indeed I am now c'mon". She grabs my wrist and we start going to the drug store nearby and we go an buy a...goop thing? I don't know what it is but Emily sure knows what it is.
Once we buy the goop we start making our way to the park.

"Okay just stay here and I'll do the dirty work", I watch her walk over to the kids and spray something that makes them all who the heck smells like that and once they turned around to face her she threw the goop at their face covering ever inch of their face and a bit of their hair.

"HA SUCKERS!" She ran to me and yelled let's go and we made a run for it, I didn't know where but it was fun to feel free once and I hoped Emily could still help me to feel free all the time
