Fixing a Broken Heart

The Meeting

ASH'S. POV

   I don't know a lot, all I know is that my name is Ash, I can't feel things often, I like black, red and green, what I look like, people are slightly afraid of me, I'm short and I don't have and friends.

   I live with the only people that can tollarate me. I never really cared to know their names. I've been like this ever since my whole family died when I was 1 in an air raid (if you don't know what that is it's a plane that drops bombs onto an enemy country mostly in a war) like literally all of my family died so I lived in an orphanage  for five years of my life and then those two people came and took me in.

   After that they tried so hard to cheer me up but I think they realized that I could only feel sadness and anger. So they gave up trying. I have been living with them for about four years and they decided that maybe if I went to school I would find a friend and learn a few things because i knew almost nothing.

   So they put me in middle school in sixth grade at a school called Show Low Jr High. Everything was new and I knew nothing so it was hard for me to get around everyone looked at me they looked afraid, of course that was normal. It was time for first hour, I was pretty sure that school had started a long time ago because everyone knew where everything was, how everything worked, who everyone was and I was just a frown in the crowd.

   In first hour the teacher wasn't in the room yet and everyone was talking and laughing and when I walked in I heard one kid say, "Hey who are you!?" I looked up to see a tall male with messy brown hair, cold brown skin and brown eyes staring down at me with tease in his eyes.

   I didn't respond to him, when I tried to walk past him he pushed me back and made me fall down. "I asked you a question, girl! Who are you!?" said the boy again. I looked up at him and with my raspy voice said, "That's none of your business and you'll find out anyway so why ask me now?" He put on a devilish smile and turned to his table and said, "Looks like we got some sass in our school again boys!" (Notice how it says s *a s s*)

   Three boys stood up and went on either side of him. All of them except one being blondes, the other one was almost like the first boy but his skin had more color.

   One of the blondes with blues eyes said, "Do you even know who you are talking to!? This is Kadyn, the best boy in school, newbie!" Once I heard newbie I felt rage bubbling up inside me. I controlled it but Kaydn asked me again kneeling down and grabbing my black shirt.

   "Now I'll ask one more time. What's  your name." he said whispering in my ear sending shivers down my spine. Nobody ever talked to me except those people that took me in. "Ash." I said calmly. Kadyn stood up and looked at me with the same devilish smile. "Now... was that so hard?" Said Kadyn. Then he turned and walked away with his buddies. I stood up and sat in the very back table, I noticed that Kadyn often looked back at me then whispered to his friends stuff.

   The teacher didn't come until there was only five more minutes of class. He walked in and said, "I'm sorry class I was late, there was so much traffic in between, then I had to make copies for our quiz tomorrow." Everyone groaned at the mention of "quiz".

   As i looked up, the teacher look middle aged with blonde hair on the top and his hair was cut on the sides, he had blue eyes and wore slightly ripped jeans and a shirt that said "RISE" on it. He raised his hand to silence the class he looked at me and realized I was there. "Who are you?" he said. I didn't answer, then Kadyn answered for me.

   "Her name is Ash Mr. Rosenbaum." said Kadyn in a devilish and teasy voice. He smiled, "Ah you must be the new student, nice to meet you Ash!" said Mr. Rosenbaum. I just looked down noticing everyone looking at me. Just then the bell rang and everyone ran out of the room and I was the last one to leave.

   I went through second, third and fourth hour, each one so far had Kadyn in it. Of course I didn't care all that much. Then the bell rang and everyone ran to lunch, I walked always getting bumped into every five, six steps until I got shoved and I fell to the ground.

   The person who shoved me turned back and held out his hand, "I'm really sorry about that I didn't mean to do that!" said the boy I looked up to see a boy that looked like Mr. Rosenbaum except he had black hair and the top was dyed light pink, the tips were peach. I grabbed his hand and he pulled me into my feet. "Are you okay?" I nodded then he smiled and continued running towards the cafeteria, I wasn't in the mood for eating so went straight outside.

   I walked and tried to find the darkest place I could find at last I found a dark corner near the choir room/auditorium which was a separate building. I pulled out my phone and headphones (which were both black red and green.) I put on depressing music, i break up in tears thinking about what my life is like and how it became that way.

   After a few minutes of listening to music I can feel footsteps aproching I open my eyes to see Kadyn and his gang walk towards me. Kadyn was the first one to see that I was crying. He stepped back a little as if he felt bad for me. Then he shook his head and walked to me until he was right in front of me casting a shadow on me.

    "Hey weirdo, this is our spot, get out or we'll make you!" said Kadyn with and angry face. I just looked at him I couldn't control my tears and I started bawling I could feel my face getting warm. I didn't know why, I never did.

   Then one of Kadyn's gang members walked up to me and picked me up by my neck and threw me to the side scratching up the left side of my face. I started to get up but was stopped by a foot landing hard on my back, all I felt was pain and sadness, no rage which wasn't normal for me.

   I gave up trying to get away and went limp and my vision went slightly blurry. I heard Kadyn say something but I didn't hear him. I closed my eyes and I felt someone pick me up then I felt nothing.
