i've always wondered how people could be so mean no matter how nice you are. that's one reason why i've given up on the world. people who enjoy putting others down and taking advantage of them deserve to be taught a lesson; especially if they're supposed to be your best friends. i've decided to keep to myself and not talk to anyone at school. that will keep me from getting hurt.  

bye.

i finished writing my my note with tears burning my icy, dull eyes as i slammed my pencil on my desk. i took deep breaths as i felt my chest clench up with anguish and betrayal. i closed my eyes in an attempt to calm myself, but when i did so, voices began to taunt me.

no wonder they left you, you're pathetic.

i opened my eyes and gasped back a sob. i placed my head in my hands as i slowly calmed my ragged breaths. i looked at my note as i sniffled a few times. i wiped my nose on my hoodie sleeve as i decided what to do.

i folded up my note before slipping on gym shoes. i stuffed my note in my pocket before opening my window and climbing out of it. i then started to run into the woods behind my house, the night air cold against my face. i continued to run, jumping over tree roots and plants before reaching my destination.

i stopped running, panting slightly as i studied the abandoned treehouse before me. i climbed up the little ladder since the house wasn't very far up. i reached the top and sat in the lonesome structure, feeling more at ease now that i was alone in the treehouse.

i took the note out of my pocket and placed it in between two loose boards in the floor. i took a deep breath, trying to release stress by leaving the note and returning home.
