Chapter 1: Lunch Time Comes ‘Round

RING! RING! The lunch time bell has rung, so me and my childhood friend since kindergarten, Kelly, ran to our lockers to grab our lunches. We went to sit at the patio, which was our usual spot, where we then started chatting and eating. I told Kelly that I had to use the restroom and that I would be quick to come back. She just said "OK", so I left to wash up, and when I came back, everything seemed normal, until a group of boys approached Kelly. They seemed to be the type of guys to do drugs, and generally skip class. They offered Kelly to hang out with them, and without hesitation, said sure. "Can I come along?" I asked. I suddenly then saw one of the guys whisper something into Kelly's ear. After the whisper, Kelly got very aggressive and hostile towards me, cussing me out and calling me ugly and to kill myself. She then turned around, and with the group of boys, walked out of the patio. I was so confused, and heartbroken. - Why did my childhood friend insult me like that?- How could she leave me so quickly?- Was nothing to her? - I ran back to the bathroom, and started crying.
