Not Here Yet

She's a 16 year old girl that feels like crap all the time. He's a 16 year old boy that likes feeling like crap all the time. She does her best to stop it. He does his best to keep it. Her name is Aurelia. His is Everest.

They haven't met yet. But when they did, it was different, to say the least.

Aurelia had heard of Everest, the kid who got bullied for fun. She hoped she never had to talk to him. She had heard the rumors of the weird masochistic kid that the janitor yelled at for getting blood on the floors. She had seen him in the halls sometimes. She hoped she wouldn't end up like him, though she never understood why she thought she might.

Everest had heard of Aurelia, the pretty but depressed and anti-social girl. He wondered what she would be like in person. He had heard the boys in school say dirty things about her. Sometimes things they wanted to do with her. He felt bad for her. He hoped to help her, though he never knew why.
