Chapter 4

Martha POV

I remember the events like it was yesterday. But it wasn't yesterday, it was kindergarten.

During kindergarten, Ram seemed to adore me. He kissed me, he shared a matt with me at nap time, he told me I was smart and didn't care if I was pretty or not. I loved him so much.

Then first grade came.

*flashback*

I hadn't seen Ram all summer and I missed him dearly. I walked into school that day and I couldn't find Ram anywhere. I was very lonely, but I was sure that I would see him later. I was able to track him down during lunch. Instead of sitting with me, he was sat at a table full of about 5 other boys.

I walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder. He turned around to look at me. Before I could even understand what his facial expressions meant, the boy next to him stood up.

Kurt - MARTHA DUMPTRUCK!!! WIDE LOAD!!! HAHA!!

The boy had hit my arm with his empty lunch tray. My full lunch tray splattered to the ground. I tried to pick the tray up, but ended up slipping on all of the food. I had food all over me.

Ram - NICE ONE KURT!!

I looked up to see Ram put his arm around the shoulder of the other boy. He looked....happy. The Ram I knew would never do this to me. I thought he actually cared about me.

Ram - EW!!! I THINK SHE POOED HERSELF!!

I stood up and realised that I had sat on my lunch which had caused a mess on the back of my pants. I ran away crying. I unlocked the bathroom door and locked myself in. I used the toilet paper as a tissue and I cried for what seemed like hours.

I heard a knock on the door after a while.

Martha - Ram?
Veronica - No Martha, it's me. Is everything okay in there? Can I come in?

Veronica helped me to cheer up and let out my problem. She told me that she would tell Mrs. Fleming what happened. In the end, Kurt got sent to the principals office. He had to get a lecture and his parents had to be called.

While Kurt was in the office, Ram came up to me. I thought that he was going to apologise to me. That I would accept and that we would fly into the clouds on a magical horse with wings. What I got was the exact opposite of what I was expecting.

Ram slapped me, hard. I could feel tears looming in my eyes. I looked up at his angry expression.

Ram - Nice job idiot! You got my best friend in jail!
Martha - Best.....
Ram - Act normal for once! Maybe people wouldn't hate you so much then!

That was the day that my heart broke.

*flashback end*

Veronica POV

I walked across the hall and peeked through my parents bedroom. They were both asleep.

I checked in my brothers room, he was still on his phone. He probably wouldn't care if I leave anyway.

Kurt - What are you doing in my room?!
Veronica - What are you doing awake?
Kurt - ...
Veronica - Im gonna be gone doing something. Please don't tell mom and dad okay.
Kurt - I won't tell them..
Veronica - Thank god.
Kurt - Unless I get something in return. 
Veronica - What do you want?
Kurt - I want a plush dolphin.
Veronica - A plush dolphin?
Kurt - Ya, that's what I want.
Veronica - Any reason you want these?
Kurt - I LIKE DOLPHINS OKAY.
Veronica - Fine, I'll get it to you by tomorrow.
