Rumors 2

Fresh Start

Well, its time for me to start at a new school, again. I have a plan though. Since I don't want to be noticed, because I don't want drama, I'm gonna try my best to stay unnoticed. I'm not going to try and talk to anyone. This is it a fresh start. No one knows who I am, and I want to keep it that way. My parents already contacted all my new teachers saying not to say my last name, and just to call me Layla. I want nothing to do with my past. I even died my hair, its blonde with blue highlights. I'm also wearing blue contacts. I know this may seem extreme, but I don't want to take a chance on my past spilling out.
I arrive at school and go to my first class. I asked my teacher not to introduce me at all. I'm glad that she said she wouldn't. I sat in the very back in an empty seat so no one would notice me. As the bell rang the rest of the students came in. I was hoping no one would sit next to me. I guess I'm not that lucky. A girl, with red hair and green eyes decides to sit right next to me. "Hey you must be new, I'm Mackenzie," she said. "I'm Layla." I sighed. I made it clear I didn't want to make any friends. "I get you don't want to make any friends, but I'm gonna get you to change your mind." she told me.
Well, today I managed to stay under the radar. Of course people noticed me I mean I'm new, but because of the aura I gave off they didn't talk to me, well most of them. Mackenzie tried talking to me so many times. It turns out we have several classes together. At lunch I told her that I didn't really want any friends and I just want to get through this school year. Sadly though her response was a simple no, then she told me everyone needs friends to survive through the school year. I told her she was wrong and I don't need friends. Sadly I know she won't give up.
I arrived home, and went into the living room. Both my parents were at work, so I was home alone. I heard a knock on my door. At first I thought I was hearing things then I heard it again. Who could it be? No one knows that I live hear right? No one from my new school, was it someone from my old school? Did my past follow me here? I look through the peep hole to see who was outside.
Nope it didn't follow me here, but she did. It was Mackenzie, but how did she get my address. "Layla I know you're in there please open the door." she asked, standing outside my door. I hesitated, but I reluctantly opened the door. "How did you get my address?" "I'm on your bus, I saw you walk to this house when you got off." she replied. "So you're stalking me? That's the first." I scoffed. "No I am not! Look, you may have this loner tough girl act going on, but I can tell your a nice and sweet girl. Please can we be friends, I know you need one." I did need a friend, but I was just too afraid that having a friend meant my past would come back. The thought of my past made me angry. "No, I don't need any friends, don't want any, it's not an act, I'm not nice or sweet, so just leave me alone!" I slammed the door shut.
I heard her knock again, "something really bad must have happened in your past, huh?" she replied rather calmly to a door being slammed in her face. "Nothing happened. Look I'm sorry, you are just kind of annoying and you don't seem to understand I don't want any friends, I just want to stay under the radar, be unknown, and have no friends. Please find someone else to befriend." I said through the door. "I am not leaving, I will be you're friend. You need one!" she replied. "I do not need one, now leave or I'll call the cops," I said. "Call the cops for what?" she asked, "for trespassing on my property, you were not invited here so that means you are trespassing. So please leave before I call the cops." I said. She left and I went into my bedroom, a tear slid down my cheek, I wanted a friend, needed one. I can't have any, because the moment I do I am on the radar, I am known, I exist. That means my past could easily come back. I wish I could erase and undo everything that ever happened.
