(Ashley as an 8 year old)

She would call me names, not include me in games, mess up my arts and crafts projects, etc. I thought I would be done with her after 4th grade, but she was in my class! She bullied me that year, but it was worse than what she did in 3rd grade. She had kids throw items at me, destroy my stuff, call me worse names, etc. She ended up bullying me from 3rd grade all the way to 9th grade. 9th grade was the worst year in my life. I dealt with her at school and my "parents" at home. My 9th grade year, Ashley did something that caused me so much pain and depression that year.

9th Grade

It was my 1st day of high school. It started out very weird the moment I stepped foot into the school.

Ashley said, "Skyler, I just want you to know that I am truly sorry for what I did to you all those years and I hope we can be friends."

Gullible and naive me believed her.

"I forgive you and I would love to be friends with you and forget everything that happened in the past."

"Thank you, do you want to hangout after school?"

My parents would not let me go to anyone's house, but I didn't want Ashley know that. I would just tell my "parents" that I had to stay after school.

"Sure." I answered.

"What's your phone number?"

"Um...I'm getting my phone fixed so...I won't be able to message or talk to you." I lied.

"Oh ok, you can ride home with me instead of riding the bus."

I didn't ride the bus because my parents didn't want me to be with all those people in a small space. I walked home everyday from school.

"Ok." I said as I began to walk to my 1st class.

I actually went a day of school without being bullied. People actually talked to me. I actually didn't want the bell to ring at the end of the day, but it did. I walked over to the car rider line and saw Ashley standing by a very expensive car. Her older sister, Brittany, drove us.

"Hey Skyler, do you want to go to the cafe?" she asked, "My treat."

I had never been to the cafe, so I said yes. I should've said no. We walked into the cafe, filled with chattering voices and people doing work on their laptops, and ordered. We each got a blueberry muffin and a hot chocolate.

"Skyler can you go get us a table while I wait for our drinks?"

"Sure" I replied as I searched for an empty table. Little did I know, Ashley put a drug in my drink that Brittany had bought from a guy. The drug would weaken me and make it very hard for me to run or fight back. Ashley and Brittany came back with our muffins and hot chocolates. I took a couple sips and didn't feel any different, but then it hit me. I didn't realize they had done anything to it so I thought it was just me getting sick.

"Are you feeling ok?" Ashley asked concerned.

"Not really." I replied weakly.

"Follow us." Brittany whispered.

I followed them to an ally near a pharmacy and a jewelry store.

"Wait here while we get you some medicine"

I nodded my head, too tired to speak. I waited for about 10 minutes and then saw Ashley and Brittany holding bags of something. They were wearing ski masks so you couldn't see their blonde hair. They also were wearing contacts to make their blue eyes brown. They gave me the bags filled with expensive jewelry and ran. I was too tired too run away, so I stayed in that spot while the cops handcuffed me and drove me to the police station. I stayed in a cell for about 2 weeks before my parents came and payed the fine to get me out. I thought they were actually being nice for once. The only reason they helped me get out of jail was so they could use me to rob for them. Because of Ashley, I had to help my parents rob houses and stores. After Ashley robbed the jewelry store, her family moved the next day. I tried to tell the cops what had really happened, but they didn't believe me because I had no proof. After Ashley robbed the jewelry store, her family moved the next day. Ashley ruined my life and I vowed to make her pay!
