Makayla's Secret

Meeting Makayla

Makayla is my one and only friend. We sorta met at the counselors office, we both were offered to join a club where we could meet some friends, I didn't expect it could actually work. The counselor just skipped over Makayla, i guess teachers don't even like her. I feel bad for Makayla, she was adopted after her parents plane got hijacked and everyone one on the plane died. No one in her family even offered to take her, she said it was pure luck anyone adopted her at all. She doesn't really talk about her parents and I don't force her to, it might be some sort of trigger. I read a lot of books, I don't really stick to one type even though I usually prefer to read a good informational book. Kids call me a nerd and say my only friends are my books( that's a blow to Makayla to who was with me at the time, as I said they ignore her). I've always dreamed of becoming author, Makayla says I'd be a really good one too. She wants to become a kid therapist to help kids that have issues like her, I think that's sweet. My mom doesn't know kids are bullying me and I want to keep it that way, Makayla thinks I need to tell her and she's probably right. She's always putting others before her and sometimes she goes a little to far, giving up her belongings to others and they still don't acknowledge her. I've told her that everyone should start showing a little respect, she says all she wants is to make others happy, she's right again. Today school was especially bad, we played team kickball and no one picked me until they had to. I'm actually pretty good at sports, naturally, but no one would even know because no one bothers to hang out with me. Once a nerd forever a nerd. The other kids didn't even bother picking Makayla, she just went on my team. When I caught the ball, Evan, the biggest bully around, grabbed it from me and said "beginners luck, hand it over dweeb." I hate Evan, not even Makayla likes him and she likes everyone. The other kids cut in front of me and Makayla as if we weren't visible. And sometimes I feel like we aren't.
