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.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6r2u23MMB
I floated down besides her. She looks up. 772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlX80HN8LU
"Who are you?" she asks, between sniffs.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5CHSx0kCb
"I'm you in two years time," I say. I laugh at the quick judging glance she gives me.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpxfttwCVY
"Yeah. I don't look exactly how we imagined do I? I guess this will have to do though."772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkYoOHflo6
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.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb2nNjvJzN
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.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2pgampE7Y
And look where that got me.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd4aA3Dtk2
"What's wrong?" she asked. Shoot. The very thing that I came here to escape was still haunting me. 772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCeR4rqSfD
"Look," I bleated. "You see-"772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpmHrZSZ6v
"The future isn't kind to me. It's no better than this one." She said, sighing.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVdwXwatiS
"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."772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc70gm8sH4
I exhaled. "I was here doing that. Trying to let go of the past. It's demons still haunt me, poisoning my friendships."772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MrR1QYAYD
She pondered it for a second, then realised.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGATL1rfi19
"Rhiannon?"772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ891QywPhhh
I nodded.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF8liQ79m2
"Sera?"772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxD2WUqz1O
"Yes. You and I both know who they all are."772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1MUMLHBnM
She struggled for words. "I... I don't know what to say..."772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxfIF2czlS
"Don't worry about it. I think I've got all I need."772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SnBic7e8U
I look to the side. "Danielle's going to come in to comfort you soon. She was sent by the teacher."772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HMAP9KaAB
She made a face.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaoUYiaN5n
"Look. Although she is a b*tch, on the bright side in a year you won't have to put up with her."772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOwzMi0s2m
I floated away, as Danielle crawled into the plastic tunnel, confused to see her giggling when she had fled the classroom crying.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL63saSfan3
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. 772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZwLV5BrPk
I sat, perched upon the slide, looking to the heavens. Is there someone who could comfort me? Tell me what the futures like?772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZxZXRmup1
I shook my head. If anything, I really don't need to know what's coming. 772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZw3onMTyC
