"Likewise, Dante!" I said. I realized I was smiling.
That was strange.
I haven't smiled since before my parents left me. This new strange kid was making me smile. I quickly got serious again. "Say, why did you save me from those girls? I mean thank you and all but why?"
He pondered for a moment. "Hmm... I guess you stood out from other girls I came across in the past few days. You seemed... different. In a good way!" He added the last part almost five seconds afterwards.
"Hmmm... I'm not sure about that but okay..." was all I could think of saying at the time. "Um... I'm gonna head home now. I guess I'll see you tomorrow Dante." I was turning to leave again but he grabbed my wrist again. Thank god I had a long sleeve shirt on.
"Wait! Give me your number. I can text you or call you later." Dante said bashfully. I said ok reluctantly and gave him my number and started to walk away yet again, only this time faster. I was going down the stairs when he caught up again. "Can I walk you back? Just so that those girls don't try to do anything like this morning. I want to make sure your safe." He still had a reddish tint to his cheek, like he was embarrassed. I looked away and said sure.

~~~~~~~~~~time skip brought to you by my other deleted story :)~~~~~~~~~~

We made it to my house in about twenty five minuets and we said bye to each other. As soon as I got inside though I felt tears come down my cheeks. This was the first person who made me feel wanted.

But he doesn't know....

I don't want him near me.
I don't want to be hurt.
I don't want to hurt.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

I started to sob as soon as I made it to the bathroom. I grabbed the razor I kept in a drawer for this and held it to my wrist. I had to change the blades last week because they were full of blood. I didn't use it because I didn't really want other people at school to see the scars I have.
Well that went all down the drain.

As I pressed the razor down on my wrist I slowly slid it across. It hurt. No, it only stung. I never go far enough to hit a vein. Only enough to feel the warmth of my blood and my pulse.
I didn't want to die yet.
Yet.
After a good ten more time I stopped crying. I decided to bandage my arm up really quick. I realized my phone was buzzing so I went to see what it was.
There were messages from half an hour ago.
Was I really in there for that long?
Anyway I checked my messages. There were ten in total. All of which were from the same number.

(222)xxx-xxxx : yo what's up?
(222)xxx-xxxx : oh i forgot to say it's me dante
(222)xxx-xxxx : so are you there?
(222)xxx-xxxx : or did she give me the wrong number????
(222)xxx-xxxx : um it's been fifteen minutes and uh i don't know if this is anna or someone else....
(222)xxx-xxxx : anyone would be fine idc who i talk to im kinda lonely here....
(222)xxx-xxxx : if there's no response in the next twenty minutes i'll just delete this number
(222)xxx-xxxx : i'll keep counting the time every five minutes so that if it is anna you could see all the messages
(222)xxx-xxxx : sorry if this wasn't anna
(222)xxx-xxxx : fifteen minutes left

I should text back right?

Anna: um hey sorry my phone died and while I was charging it I was cooking a bit of food.
(222)xxx-xxxx : OH! it's ok I understand sorry for spamming your phone then
Anna: it's okay let me save your number into my contacts really quickly give me a sec.

I saved his contact name as DANTE!¡!¡! The Weirdo. I laughed after when he started texting again.

Anna: okay I'm good.
DANTE!¡!¡! The Weirdo : heeeyyyy there XD
Anna: lmao XD stahp
DANTE!¡!¡! The Weirdo : neverrrrr >8)

This was going to be a strange year if we continue like this... and I think I could enjoy this.

Sorry I had writers block and couldn't think of anything but I GOT IT AFTER ALMOST TWO MONTHS XDDD but I'll probably post more often now because I have a pretty decent way of thinking now so.

Also I don't think anyone here know but that contact name for Dante is how I named my friend so

But nobody would care about that ok whatever.
