"Saddest girl she has to be. Salty tears stream down her cheek. Her heart's bigger than her body. Her name is Crybaby"
This is a story of a girl who was different from everybody else, She was all on her own, She lost all her friends, She was alway...
It's been about 4 months since I last saw Austin, since I last met Benjamin while picking strawberries, and since Johnny noticed me in front of my own home.
Benjamin moved to the same school as me, and we talk every single day, we eat lunch together, and we walk home together since remember, he moved to the same neighborhood as me. It honestly felt amazing to finally have a trustworthy friend, unlike how Austin turned out to be.
Ever since that rainy Fall afternoon in my bedroom, I haven't seen nor spoken to Austin. Every time I walk by his house, it's dark and empty inside, which perfectly resembled how he left me. I know it may seem a little eccentric that I have yet to finally get over the blonde boy, but he was my first friend in a way, my first love encounter, and my first heartbreak. People like me don't ever forget a person like that.
And Johnny, he still notices me daily and I still get butterflies every time I see him. I find it odd that I never see him do that to any other girl when he arrives at school and all eyes are turned to him, yet he speaks to every single girl except me. Was he trying to mess with my head? I'll probably never know if that's the right answer.
"Melanie, it's time for school, get going this instant or you'll be late!" My mother shouted from downstairs.
"Yes, mother." I shouted back as I sat up out of bed, slowly dozing out of my thoughts.
I slipped on my black jelly sandals, grabbed my backpack and flung it over my shoulders and made my way out of my bedroom. I dashed down the stairs and made my way through the kitchen to get to the front door. I grabbed my fuzzy pink jacket with little red hearts on it and started opening the door.
"Have a wonderful day, darling." Mother said as she cleaned the plates from breakfast earlier.
"I will." I said with a short smile. I looked over at my brother who was sitting on the couch watching the latest news about last nights football game.
"You have to be fucking kidding me. How did we lose last nights game?! We were 5 seconds away from a touchdown and fucking Mike just had to be close by to knock Ken off his route!" Trent shouted angrily at the tv.
I rolled my eyes and walked through the front door to go to school. The breezy, mid-March air filled my lungs as I inhaled. It's always cold in the mornings and hot by the afternoon which is why March is not my cup of tea.
I made my way down the steps, through the driveway, and then finally past the fence to the sidewalk. The sky was pure white, the grass on every house's lawn was wet, the streets were foggy and also empty. I stood there wondering where Benjamin was since we usually walk to school together. "Maybe he was sick with a cold again." I thought to myself.

I started walking down the sidewalk towards the town, my mind filled with thoughts that will never escape. Suddenly, I heard footsteps. I immediately halted and looked behind me, but to my surprise, I saw no one. I raised my brow in confusion but decided to let it go. I began walking again and once I reached the other end of the street, I heard the sound of a bush moving. I looked behind me again and again, saw nothing.
