Why is it that when you forget your books in your locker, teachers decide to pick on you. Mr. Simms knew that I forgot to get my book yet he asked me most of the questions. So after class when I went to my locker, I had to tell my best friend Lisa. Lisa was at her locker pulling out her Physics book as I walked up to my locker, which just happens to be right next to hers.
"Can you believe Mr.Simms?" I asked Lisa. She too was in my class so she understood.
"I know right? He was being so rude asking you all the questions." She pulled a large green book covered with a baby-blue book cover and set in in her arms along with red and yellow tablets, a pen and pencil, and her favorite Christmas pen with sparkle-pompom things at the ends of the little sparkle strings that held them to the pen. She loved it so much that she believed that it brought her good luck on test and reports if she used it. Of course, I had told her she was full of it but she always went back to the things it gave her.
See, our friendship started way back when she was new here. She was of course the one who was picked on because she was always so confused on what to do, where to go and how to do it. Until one day at the playground in fifth grade when a boy in our grade, Scott Archer, started picking on her because she was playing with an unpopular kid. Me. She saw me punching the wall and came to see if I would like to talk or be friends with her. She was the first and only one to ask me to be friends because I always kept my distance, and for it, I was picked on. And now she was too.
"Look everyone, the new girl is talking to the loner scum." He and his group of kids began laughing at us with the sound of the oceans roar at their side. Anger began to burn inside me and I couldn't take this. She was my first friend, the first one who thought I was more than scum who always destroyed everything she touched. She thought I was normal. Lisa began to cry and covered her face with her hands, tears dripping onto her pretty pink dress. I couldn't take their laughter any more, and I couldn't stand the look of my new best friend sobbing. I stood up and stood in front of Lisa who suddenly stopped sobbing and was looking at me through glossy red eyes.
I brought my fist up across Scott's jaw and back to my side. Scott's laughter turned to agony as he stumbled back into the no-longer-laughing people behind him. His hand went to his jaw. Whenever he brought it away, crimson blood was on his hand. I had broken some of his perfect-snobby teeth and now there was blood coming from the corner of his pursed lips. His blue eyes met mine, bringing with it a full head on stare down. My dark brown eyes stared right back at his and a smile wiped across my lips.
"Don't you dare say another word or you are going to lose some more," I said, putting my fist up in defense and smiling back at Lisa. Scott and his group started galloping away. Scott was the only one who said anything.
"Don't think you can get away with doing that Sara Scarlet." I snorted at him and let down my guard. As I turned around, a flash and push of pink caught me by surprise and engulfed me.
"Thank you so much," she said, squeezing me harder in her arms. She looked small but she was strong.
"Don't worry about it. That was just a move my older brother had taught me." My older brother John had taught me a lot of moves and how to get the best results.
"Let's be friends forever. Okay?" She pulled back from me and looked deep into my brown eyes with her green ones. I smiled even more.
"Lets." That was all it took for our friendship to start and for people to begin realizing that I'm actually alive. Lisa and I finally made a comeback on life and Scott, and he will probably never change in the years to come.
