As we ride the bus I remember the first day at school.. I walked into school with my jean shorts and red shirt.. my backpack had the British flag on it.. I remeber the teacher calling me to the front of the class, "what's your name?" She asked.. "I'm isabella.. but my mum just calls me Bella." I say and the kids laugh at me.. I start to tear up, I run and sit down.. "did you hear her accent? What a weirdo.." says one of the kids, "yeah, now there two of them in our class.." says a different kid, then a girl walks up to me, "hi, I'm Lucy, and your names to long.. and I don't want to call you Bella so.. I'll call you Izzy, yeah?" She says, I smile, "ok Lucy... where you from?" I ask, "I was born in Bristol England." She says, "you?" I smile, "London." I say.
After that we were always together, then one day on the playground.. I got stuck on the monkey bars.. but thease monkey bars were to tall.. the teachers told us not to go on them.. "Lucy! Help I'm stuck!" I yell, "I'll go get a teacher!" She says, she starts to run but one of the kids pushes her over, "aw! Little Bella got stuck!" They laugh, I start to get mad, "jump down little British girl! Come on! Don't be a scaredy cat!" They yell, I get mad, "don't jump Izzy! I'll go get a teacher!" Yells Lucy, one of the kids grabs her arms, "no you won't!" He says, "get away from her!!" I yell as I jump off the monkey bars.. I land on my feet and push him over, "leave my friend alone!" I yell.
That's the first day I felt the rush of falling.. and the thrill of it.. I'd never forget that day... I'll never forget Lucy... she's more then just a friend.. she's my sister.. even after my father and mother died in a car crash. she stayed.. I was 13.. my older sister was 18.. just old enough to take care of us.. I remeber the funeral.. she held my hand.. and we sang the parting glass.. we hugged as I cried.. we're always there for each other.. no matter what.. I had a wonderful mother.. my fathers strength made me stronger.. I have his eyes and my mothers hair.. my sister is amazing, but she's busy trying to keep our apartment and keeping us alive.. the day after the funeral Lucy and her mother took me and my sister to the zoo and we got milkshakes after.. and we talked untill the world seemed to dissapear.. I might of even smiled.. Lucy.. your always on my side.. even when I'm wrong.. and I had the best days with you.
