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.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93ib27awXV
I floated down besides her. She looks up. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrRiVcNdst
"Who are you?" she asks, between sniffs.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkzx25wpaF
"I'm you in two years time," I say. I laugh at the quick judging glance she gives me.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe0glecnnZ
"Yeah. I don't look exactly how we imagined do I? I guess this will have to do though."750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wJvrCmEgu
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.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSyeLtnLAP
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.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70CkWMlxT8
And look where that got me.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X6WIcWq1i
"What's wrong?" she asked. Shoot. The very thing that I came here to escape was still haunting me. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDOukBk4NO
"Look," I bleated. "You see-"750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlB0uA3yHF
"The future isn't kind to me. It's no better than this one." She said, sighing.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjQF1x1j8t
"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."750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclumSiq1QO
I exhaled. "I was here doing that. Trying to let go of the past. It's demons still haunt me, poisoning my friendships."750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFo2Uzr5SK
She pondered it for a second, then realised.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg1dtQjKkr
"Rhiannon?"750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlFGeciKa5
I nodded.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF6S6bIbVj
"Sera?"750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdWQ7vQaSZ
"Yes. You and I both know who they all are."750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKxP6vC539
She struggled for words. "I... I don't know what to say..."750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8YKFAjLck
"Don't worry about it. I think I've got all I need."750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduiOO6wKgZ
I look to the side. "Danielle's going to come in to comfort you soon. She was sent by the teacher."750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTWaJxaDEn
She made a face.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMujMrUQL2
"Look. Although she is a b*tch, on the bright side in a year you won't have to put up with her."750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8iQjj5cPS
I floated away, as Danielle crawled into the plastic tunnel, confused to see her giggling when she had fled the classroom crying.750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkuNCmgkrN
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. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa55pgqqoXF
I sat, perched upon the slide, looking to the heavens. Is there someone who could comfort me? Tell me what the futures like?750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55CBNTegLP
I shook my head. If anything, I really don't need to know what's coming. 750Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3R2JRd7SO
