I was over joyed when I found out that I would be staying at the beach house for the summer. I was over joyed by the fact that I will be away from the people who hurt me, my bullies. But when I stare into Kamilas cold gaze I cant help but think, why me? Why me out of all people in this world, why do I get bullied? Obviously I'm not the only person in this world who gets bullied.

"I'm talking to you freak!" Kamilas screeching voice enters my hearing as I wince. I look over to Kyla who has confusion evident on her face. I cant hold her gaze anymore without feeling guilty so I look back over to Kamila who looms above me.

"My name isn't freak." I mumble and get up while wiping my hands on my shorts.
 
"What did you say?!" Kamila exclaims.

"Ohh nothing." I say and turn around.

"This isn't over freak." Kamila hisses behind me which causes a shiver to run down my spine.

I walk over to Kyla  who is silently watching my every move, like a hawk. I want to tell her about it, its just that I'm scared that she will leave me and realise how pathetic I really am.

"What was that? Do you know her?" Kyla starts bombarding me with questions. I stiffen and try to wrack my brain for an excuse as for what that was.

"It was uhhh nothing." I stumble my words. I look around for a distraction, when I see something that makes me smile.

"Holy crap, is that skittles!" I exclaim and point towards the confectionary aisle where the sugary goodness sits. I let out a squeal and run towards the rainbow coloured treat.

"Me precious." I whisper as I stroke the bag like its a cat.

"Umm, Tegan are you okay?" Kyla asks beside me breaking me from my daze.

"I'm fine Kyla, why are you asking such preposterous things?" I ask extra sweetly in a fake British accent. She gives me a look that screams you belong in a mental asylum!

"I am asking such preposterous things because just a minute ago some girl was calling you a freak and you weren't doing anything about it and now your acting all loony about skittles." She states simply while crossing her arms over her chest, leaving no room for an argument, only an explanation.

Kyla obviously cares, but she won't once she realises how much of a loser I really am. I'm conflicted as to what I do, do i tell and lose whatever friendship that Kyla and I have, or do I come up with a lie and begin our friendship on a lie.

Someone clearing their throat breaks me from my thoughts. I snap my head towards Kyla who stands there waiting for an answer.

I've made up my mind.

"I'll tell you everything once we get home." I say biting my lip nervously.

"Everything?" She asks.

"Everything." I confirm.

---------------------------------------

It took us two hours to buy everything we needed, or wanted. Half of the stuff we bought was not actually needed. Except skittles, skittles are always needed.

So now Kyla and I are sitting on the couch, and my story telling begins.

"Where should I begin?" I ask Kyla.

"The beginning would be best." Kyla answers back simply, ever since the incident with Kamila she's been acting off.

"Ok, so ever since I can remember my parents where always working in another state or country. I grew up with the love of our maids. Me and my brother, who is older than me by 3 years, we had an abnormally strong bond between us. He was always there when someone was picking on me and he knew when I was sad. That all changed when he wen to college, as soon as he left I didn't have my protector anymore. It was just me. Obviously, the people who picked on me and had to deal with my brothers wrath, they wanted payback."

"Oh, what did they do?" Kyla asks quietly.

"Well, they decided to get creative with what they poured on me,threw at me and even sometimes forced me to do. Like one time they forced me to break into the math room closet and steal the answers for the up coming test, it didn't end well. I got caught and got three weeks detention. I tried to tell the teachers about the bullying but they said that they needed proof, and I couldn't provide any.  And just recently the poured red wine on me, it was genius actually," I say with a chuckle, "red wine stains your clothes real bad and you smell like alcohol for the whole day, which gets you into trouble from the teachers."

I look at Kyla and see her staring at me.

"A-and who was the girl at the supermarket?" She asks, she's been quietly taking in all of the information.

"She,"I clear my throat, "she was my best friend, a year ago she just, um how do I explain it. She just kind of blew up at me, she accused me of things I didn't do and went around spreading rumours about me, like how I apparently gave away my virginity at age fourteen, which by the way isn't true. I've never had a serious boyfriend or sex for that matter. She then said something that haunts me to this day," I close my eyes and continue, "she said 'you don't deserve to live, you should just be dead like your twin sister' she not only broke my trust but she said that in front of the whole school, which caused people to think I killed my own twin sister."

Kyla looks at me with tears pooling out if her eyes.

"Argh I'm sorry I should be comforting you, not crying." She says which causes both of us to laugh.

"So, um you don't think I'm a loser or pathetic?" I mumble.

"No, never." She says and embraces me in a hug. Tears pool out of my eyes and I feel like a weight has been lifted of my chest, I let out a sob which causes Kyla to squeeze me tighter.

"Kyla, your squeezing me too tight I can't breathe." I manage to wheeze out.

"Oh geez sorry." Kyla exclaims and immediately lets me go.

"Now, how about we watch pointless chick flicks and swoon over shirtless guys." Kyla says while clapping her hands together like a five year old. We both crack up laughing.

"Kyla, I have a feeling that this friendship is going to last." I say while embracing her in one more hug.

"Of course it will, I'm not letting you get away that easily." She fake evil laughs which causes me to laugh harder.

"I wouldn't expect anything less of you Kyla." I mumble which causes her to let out a bark of laughter.

Hello lovely readers,

This was one emotional chapter, Kyla and Tegan seem to becoming best friends. And no show of Matt, but he will show in the next chapter.
So I'm thinking about doing a goal for each chapter like: votes=3, comments=7
Once you guys reach that goal I will update quicker. So that's what that is at the top of the chapter^
AND OMG WE HAVE OVER 100 READS!!! THANKS GUYS SO MUCH!!!

Q. How much do you guys like skittles? For me I looovvveee them because I have allergies and I can't eat most sweet things but I can eat skittles. (Or if you don't like skittles, what's your fav sweet treat or confectionary?)

Bye from a very savage nerd xx
