She's A Fighter

1.Recall

My name is Charlotte May Davis. I'm 16 years old. For the last two years, I used to be the school straight-A student. I am popular among student and teacher because of my excellence in both sports and academics. However, I always get bullied by the school most popular guy, Micheal Hallaway. Michael and I met when we were 5. This is because our parents are best friends. Micheal was my only friend and my crush. I started to liking him when we were in third grade. We spend so much time together since then. Mostly because I don't have many friends.

He's handsome, no doubt, I guaranteed no girl will not fall for him.

We went to the same kindergarten, elimentary and even high school. Michael is tall, funny, and he knows how to change someone's mood from bad to good mood. He is the only one that I can put my trust, he was the one that I can depend on. He was there for me every time I needed him and I love him for it.

It feels like we just met yesterday because I still remember everything that we have been through. Unfortunately, everything change when we get into high school. He stopped talking to me and never go to my house to study together anymore. Michael become a bad boy. He even made a friend with the school typical bad boy, Ryder Brooke.

Michael and Ryder often skipped class, bullying,  coming late to class and many more stuff that bad boys do. Even so, Michael's academics never drop. Considering that he's from a rich family that can efforts a tutor for him.

One day, I decided to confront him.

"Michael! " I called him from far. I know he heard me calling his name, but he pretended not to. I'm disappointed. I finally decided to wait for his friends to leave him alone.

When I approached him I shouted angrily "Michael!"

"Oh, look who have a gut to shout at me," He responded with a disgusted look.

"What do you want, NERD?" I pull myself together and tried to be cold

"Why did you change, Michael? Why did you pretended not to know me and why did you become one of those immoral guys?" I questioned him.

He become silent for a moment. Then he started to speak.

"Because I wanted to. Do you even know what does it feel like to be number 2? I study really hard but you still on the top of me. Do you know how pathetic you are especially about making friends? You always have a good comments from every teacher. What about me? I'm sick of being everyone's second option. Then I know I should change my lifestyle. I mean, why not? I am extremely popular anyway so there should be no problem for me to find new BAD friends. Like Ryder. He's way better than you do. "

I'm shocked. I can't help but to sob and tried to stop him from walking away.

"I need to tell you something. Actually I... I.love you since grade 3. I've been holding on this feeling since forever, Michael."

After hearing what I said, Michael walked away and leave me there, alone and crying.

I ran as fast as I can to my house, holding on my tears, I ran to my dad, who was on call with my mom in the living room.

"Dad, I want to quit school. I can't stay there anymore. Please dad!"

After he calm me down, I told my parents everything that happened.

**********
That was years ago. Now I'm home-schooling. I never meet any of my friends or Michael ever again. This year I decided to go back to that school again, Greenia High. This is because I'm a fighter. A fighter fight and sacrifice everything they have to get what they want. And that's me. That old Charlotte Davis has gone.
