the next day I had school. brendon texted me and said he was picking me up. I got dressed into a ariana grande sweater, black leggings & black converse. I did my hair and make up and left the centre straight away.

brendon was waiting for me.
"WOW!" He saw my hair. "You look so fucking hot!" He exclaimed. I blushed and giggled. "thanks" I say.
"I take it you made a friend?" he asks.
"yep. Her names Lainie" I replied. I got into his car and we headed to school.
the conversation was little.

we got there. I took one look at the school. I can't go in. "brendon"
"everything okay?" he asks me.
"I-I can't go in" I stammered.
"of course you can! your strong. you've been battling since you were 9"
"b-but everyone knows!" tears filled my eyes. "aw c'mon give beebo a squeeze!" he cheerfully hugged me and I cried into his arms. "I'm sorry" I whispered.

"hey look at me" I gazed into his big brown beautiful eyes. "I'm with you okay? it's okay to cry. when I moved here I cried. It was a big step for me to take and a new chapter. you can do this. if anything happens, you'll have josh and tyler. I honestly wish I could be there for you. I'm sorry. but just know that they will be there. you can call me whenever. I'll be there straight away when you need me. okay-" I cut him off by kissing his cheek and hugging him tightly.

"your the best fren ever" I mumbled.
"aw your such a cutie!" he squealed.
I giggled and he gave me a bag.
"my mom made you lunch"
"aw your mom is so sweet!" I was nearly in tears again. "she said if you need a girl, she's there" he added.
"Tell your mom she's my new best friend!" we both laughed. he gave me one last hug and I made my way in.

all I heard was clapping and cheering. nervousness built up inside of me. clapping? cheering? no one likes me! how is this even real? josh and tyler ran to me and gave me a hug on each side.

"hi frens" I say, happy to see them.
"everyone loves you because kayleigh has been expelled!" tyler tells me.
"why?" I ask him.
"you attempted to many many times because of her bullying you. she's gone to juvie!" josh says.
"wow" I was in shock.

then, Jenna and Sarah ran to me and gave me bear hugs. "we missed you! how you doing?" Jenna asks me kindly. "Great, now I'm with you four" I say.
"Did brendon give you the lunch?" Sarah asks me. I nodded, grinning.
"There's a cake too!" Tyler says, wrapping his arms around Jenna's waist who leaned against him lightly.

"you guys are too cute! and what flavour?" I asked him.
"Red velvet" he grinned. I squealed and pulled josh by the hand to the cake. my friends laughed. and then the assistant principle came out and yelled for everyone to get to class.

a girl called rydel had made me a cake. she was friends with maya. who treated her like crap. she gave me a slice and thanked me and then made her way to class.

at lunch time people kept walking over to me. I didn't like the attention. but I didn't want to be rude. I finally found my friends who gave me a big bag of jolly ranchers. two big bags. I was nearly crying. friends are amazing .
