I watched her huddled up in a ball, from above. She was in pain. Not the physical kind of pain. The pain that comes from falling in love before she even knew what love meant. Of being rejected. Of moving away from everyone she's ever known for her whole childhood.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkMjfeE65F
I floated down besides her. She looks up. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnqL4iZDbP
"Who are you?" she asks, between sniffs.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEWwIMNYat
"I'm you in two years time," I say. I laugh at the quick judging glance she gives me.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCSLSWbwxE
"Yeah. I don't look exactly how we imagined do I? I guess this will have to do though."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LZXQRkqWy
She curls back into a ball. I sigh. What should I tell her. That things will get better? When she starts the new school, she makes new friends and eventually gets over her crush on Marcus. Of course, then there was him.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnRXeFe8LE
I shot a pointed glare at the image my brain dredged up. Taller than me, he always seemed to cock his head a little when he walked. Arrogant, but different when he wasn't with the popular group. I saw the good in him when perhaps not many others did.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46RLqRe1mY
And look where that got me.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zj2aL0tyt
"What's wrong?" she asked. Shoot. The very thing that I came here to escape was still haunting me. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhPrdN6FmQ
"Look," I bleated. "You see-"738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuTAsRiYTQ
"The future isn't kind to me. It's no better than this one." She said, sighing.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaceT3I8ID
"No. You're wrong. Yes you may get hurt. You get hurt a lot. But the new friends you make help you through it like no one else could have. Theresa comforts you when you need a shoulder to cry on, and Ying gives you the advice that you really need. She alone has stopped me committing suicide three times in the past year."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRapgozfG0F
I exhaled. "I was here doing that. Trying to let go of the past. It's demons still haunt me, poisoning my friendships."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq1eE8xHAC
She pondered it for a second, then realised.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6eVYFezrp
"Rhiannon?"738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpRiZrispw
I nodded.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIOzNgHfyz
"Sera?"738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYUdjkRNYr
"Yes. You and I both know who they all are."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9NXGLqnGP
She struggled for words. "I... I don't know what to say..."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvOESJ0PzN
"Don't worry about it. I think I've got all I need."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCWT7y5FPi
I look to the side. "Danielle's going to come in to comfort you soon. She was sent by the teacher."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4DClzbfEO
She made a face.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DfNsfZ7s5
"Look. Although she is a b*tch, on the bright side in a year you won't have to put up with her."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFriRK2cnZ
I floated away, as Danielle crawled into the plastic tunnel, confused to see her giggling when she had fled the classroom crying.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nBW3aXO4S
My life hasn't been as hard as most. I don't bear any physical scars. That doesn't mean the depression and suicidal thoughts I've suffered through were nothing though. My heart goes out to people who do bear those scars. Who had the courage to go to the brink of death and come back. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp55TZDCllf
I sat, perched upon the slide, looking to the heavens. Is there someone who could comfort me? Tell me what the futures like?738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0g1hcljtN
I shook my head. If anything, I really don't need to know what's coming. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K8OEpzsY9
