Lonely

Chapter 1

It Was Another Day At Strawhill High And The Same Life I Had (Which I Wanted To Get Rid Of). Life For Me Is Boring And I Have No Friends. I've Never Had A Boyfriend, Never Went To A Party.. But That's Besides The Point. My Whole Life Switched Around When Symir Jones Came To This School.

I Was Sitting In Class When I Heard The Classroom Phone Ring Which Interrupted The Teacher. She Rolled Her Eyes And Wobbled Her Way Over To The Phone.

"Ms. Rose Speaking.... Yes She Is...Okay She's On Her Way... You're Welcome, ByeBye." I Finished My Notes And Lay My Head Back Down On My Desk.

"Ciara, You're Wanted In The Principal's Office." Ms. Rose Said.

"Somebody's In Trouble" Ricky, The Biggest Dummy In The Class Said.

"Shut Up And Mind Your Business" I Told Him.

I Know I Didn't Do Anything Wrong. I Just Got Up And Grabbed My Stuff .

When I Reached Mr. Clay's Office, I Noticed Somebody I've Never Seen Here Before. I Could Only See The Back Of His Head Which Had Waves The Ocean Couldn't Even Handle.

"Symon This Is Ciara, And Ciara This Is Symon." Mr. Clay Introduced Us.

"Um, It's Symir. S-Y-M-I-R. Symir Jones." He Said Spelling It Out. I Giggled A Little Bit. He Turned Around To Shake My Hand But I Just Couldn't Lift My Arms To Touch His Hand. He Was The Finest Thing I've Ever Seen In This Whole School. I Just Stared At Him In Awe.

He Just Put His Hand Back Down.

"Nice To Meet You Beautiful" He Said Winking At Me. He Flashed His Perfect White Teeth And Swear I Could've Melted Like Lava Right Here.

"So Ciara, Since You Are One Of My Most Responsible "A" Students, You Are Going To Show SyMIR Around Our Lovely School. I Will Excuse You From All Of Your Classes So That You Can Show Him Where His Classes Are And Everything He Needs To Know About Our Wonderful School." He Said Putting Emphasis On The Last Couple Parts Of Symir's Name And Telling Me What I Needed To Do. There Was Definitely NOTHING Lovely Or Wonderful About Strawhill.

"Follow Me." I Told Him. As We Walked Into The Hallway, No Conversation Was Made That Much We Just Talked About Where His Classes Were And Where He Needed To Be. I Felt The Need To Be Nosey.

"So, Symir, Why Did You Decide Come To Strawhill? This School Is Soo Shitty." I Asked Him. He Looked At Me Sideways.

"I Don't Know You So Why Should I Tell You My Business?" He Replied With An Attitude.

"I Think I Got It From Here." He Said Leaving Me In The Hallway By Myself. I Walked Back To Ms. Rose's Class.

I Was Walking Home When Symir Came Out Of His House."Are You Stalking Me?" Symir Asked Laughing. He Lives Like Two Houses Down. I Rolled My Eyes And Ignored Him And Continued To Walk Home.

I Ran Up The Steps To My House And Prepared For The Abuse To Come. My Father Was Home And Was Always So Abusive When He Was Drunk. My Mom Disappeared And We Couldn't Find Her. He Started Doing Drugs, Drinking, And Beating Me As A Result. He Would Sometimes Rape Me But I Always Got Out Of That Situation.

"CICI WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN? I've Been Waiting Here For Hours Girl!" He Yelled In My Face As I Shut The Front Door Behind Me. I Could Smell The Liquor On His Breath Which Made My Stomach Hurt.

"Dad, I Was At School Since 7:00 This Morning." I Said In The Most Calm Way I Could.

"Don't Smart Mouth Me Bitch. I Know You We're At Some Little Boy's House. I'll Kill Him If I See Him."

"What Boy Are You Talking About Dad? I Don't Have Any Friends." I Said Catching An Attitude. He Grabbed Me By My Hair And Yanked My Body Toward His Nasty, Stink Figure.
