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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiEMmapGb9
I floated down besides her. She looks up. 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t6asmjzVP
"Who are you?" she asks, between sniffs.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XfEUf7jf7
"I'm you in two years time," I say. I laugh at the quick judging glance she gives me.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf42UCERDDb
"Yeah. I don't look exactly how we imagined do I? I guess this will have to do though."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRDUuUhlVQ
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHbKWPouF8
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.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIUsNtMu0c
And look where that got me.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquXC3YDWNg
"What's wrong?" she asked. Shoot. The very thing that I came here to escape was still haunting me. 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG0cHZC98w
"Look," I bleated. "You see-"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAtlZpAdAX
"The future isn't kind to me. It's no better than this one." She said, sighing.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMCNvAgZNX
"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."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRI6xnl9UW
I exhaled. "I was here doing that. Trying to let go of the past. It's demons still haunt me, poisoning my friendships."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEca3v69tls
She pondered it for a second, then realised.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZRecDvOvb
"Rhiannon?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOvJnjYJhs
I nodded.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjoOsLeLf7
"Sera?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsVe2BUwXc
"Yes. You and I both know who they all are."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYI8czuTuW
She struggled for words. "I... I don't know what to say..."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OFircjrn5
"Don't worry about it. I think I've got all I need."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OJz0jR4lw
I look to the side. "Danielle's going to come in to comfort you soon. She was sent by the teacher."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY8P5knzb6
She made a face.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYb9GJ3esu
"Look. Although she is a b*tch, on the bright side in a year you won't have to put up with her."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QlRAiKAdV
I floated away, as Danielle crawled into the plastic tunnel, confused to see her giggling when she had fled the classroom crying.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryyJnTjMeO
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. 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDSy0fk21z
I sat, perched upon the slide, looking to the heavens. Is there someone who could comfort me? Tell me what the futures like?883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5MmiFLnpd
I shook my head. If anything, I really don't need to know what's coming. 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAI8LKLYow
