Alone

Chapter 4

It was saturday morning, the sun shined through my lace curtains. I layed in bed starring up at the ceiling, so many thoughts going through my mind. My pillow stained with black, from me holding it tight against my chest while I was crying. I had just closed my eyes shut again when there was a large bang on my window. Startled I went over to look and saw a bunch of boys from school standing out front my house.

"Freak, go back to uglyville, where ya belong!" They all shouted at once.

I ran downstairs to already find gramps going outside.

"Gramps no what are you doing?"

"These boys from school?"

"Uh yeah I guess."

"I want them gone!"

I tried to stop gramps, I didn't want them hurting him. How did they even know where I live? I ran in the living room and watched from the window. Gramps stomped down the steps and went over to them. I watched him wave his arms in the air and point fingers. Those boys shoved him away and off they went. He shuffled back in, grumbling words to himself.

"Are you okay," I asked going over to him.

"If those boys ever come back, the police will be involved!"

"What's going on?" Grandma said startled as she was tying her robe coming down the stairs.

"Some no up to good boys from Bandit's school decided to come over and put on a show."

I went in the living roomwhile they talked, not wanting to hear anymore of it. I didn't know what to do at this point, afraid of going to school on Monday, knowing they'll say something about this morning to me. Once I knew they were done, I made myself some breakfast and went back on the laptop. Some kind of force drew me onto facebook, I saw a conversation with Sage. Someone posted on her wall asking why she was even friends with me. She didn't say much, but it made me start thinking twice about her.

Later that night we went out, first time going out to eat in a while. It usually wasn't any place fancy or different, just the little roadside diner a few minutes away. Usually sat in the same seat, a booth in the corner. I got the same thing to eat every time. I tried to eat slowly as possible even ordering dessert, because I did not want to go home. I wanted to be anywhere but school or home. Once home, I went directly up to bed. I put in my headphones and turned the music all the way up, ignoring everything in the outside world and finally going to sleep.
