I grabbed a cup and poured the water in the cup slowly while envisioning flashbacks of me and Elliet. I hear something, "Starla!" my therapist shouted and I snapped out of it. "Are you alright?" " Yes ,Shall we continue?" I sat down and started to linger more into the past while speaking of it.

Elliet started talking after what happened in his birthday and I was so overjoyed that he did. We would stay up all night talking to each other even while playing Elliet's favorite card games - Three and two. One day when I was thirteen years old in 1994 Elliet left before me from school and when I came home he didn't look or act like himself .He was screaming at my parents but I didn't know why. After he stopped screaming he passed by me and said "I'm sleeping in the other room so don't bother me!" When those words left his lips I completely froze and my heart felt like it was being pecked at by a bunch of crows. My parents hugged me and said "Don't worry he doesn't mean it, He loves you star and he won't be the same tomorrow" Tears were falling down my face and I said "I know he doesn't mean it but it still hurts so much" they kiss me on my cheek and I go upstairs to my room. I had cried so much that day but my parents were wrong, after that day Elliet wasn't the sweet Elliet I knew, he changed in to a completely different person.

It was 1995 October 11th and there were Halloween decorations all over the school. I rushed to my locker because the halls were empty and I saw Elliet down the hall with his friends,Craig and Johnny . We weren't as close like we used to be and when I tried talking to him, he would just ignore me or make fun of me so I stop trying. I looked away and opened my locker and grabbed my books for English. When I closed my locker Elliet appeared and said "Boo!" I was startled and his friends laughed. Elliet said "What's the matter you afraid of ghosts.” "That wasn't funny." "who said we were trying to make you laugh," said Craig. They were in front of me so I tried to pass through them but they stopped me and Craig said " Where do you think your going?" "To class" "Oh no ,Your not going anywhere until we say so got it!" he slammed his fist into the locker and it made me jump. They were all laughing and suddenly Elliet said "Come on you guys let her go to class." Craig looked at him confused and Johnny looked a little relieved but then when I tried to pass by Elliet suddenly put his foot in the way and I fell to the ground on my knees. They found it hilarious but Johnny didn't like it and he asked if I was all right but I ignored him. Elliet stood in front of me and kneeled down to me. He stared at me with his dark green eyes and strands of his light brown hair with a hint of blond slightly fell at the top of his eye's. He put his hand through my short brown wavy hair and looked directly at my light brown eyes and said sarcastically "You should really watch your step, You don't want mommy and Daddy to be worried for you would you?" he smiled and stood up and they walked away. I sighed while pushing my hair back thinking what happened for him to hate me so much. I got up and started walking to English class. I walked in and sat in my seat at the back of the class. Lyra sits right next to me in English. We are very close friends ever since the 8th grade and now we are in the 10th grade. I wrote a note about what happened to me that day and I through it in the floor and slid it to her with my foot. She picked it up and while she was reading it she had a mixture of expressions in her face but the one that was obvious was anger. She hated how Elliet bullied me once in awhile and even more when she was not there to stop it. Later on that day we went to lunch and we sat in the middle of the lunch room. Lyra's boyfriend Johnny would sit with us occasionally but not too much because he didn't want Elliet or Craig to bother us. They started going out a couple of months ago after last year's prom when they danced together and kissed after words. When she told me I couldn't believe it. Lyra didn't want to ask about what happened before class because she knew that Elliet was a delicate subject for me. I started to eat my pizza and then Lyra finally broke her silence and asked "So why didn't you do anything or at least defend yourself?" "You know why Lyra, It's Elliet ......I know that he's a jerk now but I still remember how he use to be and still hope that he would change." "But you shouldn't let him treat you like that, you know if I were you I would have kicked him so hard in the face that he would have my shoe mark there permanently!" I giggle and say "I know but...." Elliet sits next to me and says "so what you guys talking about?" he takes my apple and bites it. "Leave her alone you dog face!" people around us shouted "OHH!" and Elliet says while slamming the apple in the table "I'm going to be nice today and pretend you meant that as a compliment today Lyra .." he stands up on top of the table and stomps on my food and says "But your little friend here won't be so lucky!" he grabs the plate of rice and beans and shoves it in my face. I stood up and ran out of the lunch room towards the girls bathroom. I locked my self in the stall and cried while cleaning the rice and beans out of my clothes and face. The bathroom door creaked open and someone asked, "Are you ok Starla?" I immediately knew it was Lyra. I went out of the stall and said "No, I feel horrible right now. I cant believe he did that!" "Really? I'm not too surprised since he has been bullying you more lately, but just ignore him. He’s just an idiot who has nothing better to do. One day he will get what's coming to him, don't worry!" she touched my hair and said " now lets get you cleaned up ." "Its ok i’ll just go home early, can I borrow your gym clothes and your sweater so my parents wont ask what happened?" "Sure!" "Thanks Lyra" I went home and my mom was already back from work so she asked "Why are you wearing different clothes?" "Oh, I had gym but I forgot my gym clothes so Lyra lend me her gym clothes but afterwards I felt sick so I came straight home." "Are you all right honey?" "I feel kind of better now but I'm going go take a shower" "Ok honey hope you feel better" I walked up the stairs and into the bathroom. I laid in my bathtub thinking for an hour about everything that happened. I stood up and dried off and went to my room. I put on pajamas and took a nap.
