The Bridge

Chapter 2

Me and Parker go way back 3rd grade.
Back then I was your typical lonely scrawny nerd boy nobody wants to be friends with.
Kids my age doesn't want to play with me because I was "weird" .
I also remember being bullied by this mean kid with blonde hair and big blue eyes.
He always steal my food my mom packed for me.
He always calls me "weirdo"
and He always pushes me when our teacher isn't looking.
I hated school because i feel lonely there but i hated it more because of him.

One time i was going down the stairs to go wait for my mom to pick me up when suddenly someone shouted.
"HEY WEIRDO" i frozed.
Only one person calls me that and it's the blond meany
I turned and look at him nervously.
"Y-yes??"
"Give me your food! I'm hungry!"
He said angrily.
"I-i-i don't h-have anym-more"
I nervously told him.
"NO! you just don't want to give it to me"
"I-i really don't ha-"
"LIE! let me see your bag!"
He tried to snatch my bag but i won't let go of it.
We keep pulling at the bag like we are having a tag of war when suddenly...
I lost my balance and fell.

I rolled a few times at the stair before i finally reached the bottom and i suddenly felt a pain on my right arm.
I cried because it hurts so much.
I felt someone looking at when i looked up i saw meany looking at me with his blue eyes filled with shock and guilt.
At that moment my mom came and suddenly rushed at me and asking me what happened, I didn't answer her because i was in pain.

She rushed me to the hospital and the man in white said that i have a broken arm.
I fearfully look at my mom.
"C-can't they f-fix my arm M-mom?"
My mom looked at me and said
"They can Rainy, they just have to put a cast on it"
"Okay...."
After that, my mom said i should rest and be absent for a few days so that's what i did.
After a few days, when we we're on our way to school, I was nervous because i will see meany again.

When i was on my classroom seated already, i felt a tap on my shoulder, when i turned to look. There was a note attached to my shoulders, i looked at it and read "iM sOrRY"
I looked behind me and saw meany looking at me with his big blue eyes filled with guilt and sincere.
He wrote at his paper again and gave it at me. I read "bE fRieNdS???"
I looked at him and smiled, then replied "yEs"

After that incident we became friends. Bestfriends.
He did everything to make up for the things he did. He wrote all of my notes for me because my hands hurt.
He also walks me out of school and stays with me to wait for my mom to pick me.
He also became my savior from other bullies that tried to harm me.
He was always there, we did everything together. From playing video games, hanging out at my house, sleepovers, everything!

I found out why he acted bad before. His mom died due to cancer and his father is always at work, trying to busy himself from the grief and pain.
I also found out that meany is not meany at all, his kind, sweet, caring, protecting and a loving person.

And little by little, i felt something.
Something amazing yet scary.
I'm starting to fall in love.
Falling in love to Parker.
