Be There For Us?

Alex

Hello humans. The name, obviously, is Alex. Nothing original, just... Alex. Actually, it's Alex Nathaniel Smith. Really simple, and very, very generic. It kinda pisses me off, to be honest. I really want an original name, like Annaliese and Lilian do. Those are my two female best friends. Oh, who am I kidding; they're my only friends. So, my best friends. Ugh, I swear to the infinities that I'm not being a jellyfish. I call people that sometimes. Because most of those fuckers are jellyfish.

I have a really hard time at home. My mom and dad are abusive, and I've tried calling the police, like a lot, but they basically refuse to do anything about it, because my mom is the senator for something important. I'm not supposed to say what it is. It involves a bunch of political legal bullshit. My dad's name is Chris, and my mom's is Maddie. My mom tried to set my room on fire when I was six. Harsh, I know. But my dad told her there was no need to go that far. Asshole.

I had pretty much been lonely all my life, until I met Lily. We were in second grade, and she had just moved here. She was adorable when she was seven. I'm a year older than her, so I was eight at the time. I got held back by my parents, because they felt like I wasn't trying hard enough in first grade. I was six goddamn years old. Anyway, I thought she looked really interesting. She didn't pay attention in class a lot, but that's only because she's really smart. Lily was always reading or drawing. Which, by the way, she's really good at both.

When I walked up to her, it was outside on the playground after lunch. At the barred dome, where like, nobody ever was. Anyway, I climbed up behind her, and dropped my upper body down in front of her. I guess I really scared her, because she dropped the book she was reading, and just kind of stared at me. I threw a drawing I made at her, and said "I'm Alex." She opened it and smiled really big, and, with that playful smirk on her face, said "Guess you already know who I am." Then, she folded the paper and put it in her book. The drawing was a flower, a lily.

We met Annaliese together a year later. It was an awkward reunion. Liese and Lily are both really pretty, and they're like my sisters... kinda. In a way. I'm supposed to meet them at the beach in a little, so, I guess that's that. Later.
