A true friend

    • Yet another English home-work done by me



      Warm tears ran down my eyes as I ran away from Stephanie and her friends, their remarks like needless that pierced my heart, “They’ll never find me here” I told myself as I shut the door of the old shed and wiped my tears off my eye’s, my eye’s were red and puffy I was alone again hiding in my usual spot.

      Next day before school had started I head out to the school library without hesitation it was the only place I could stay safe. After that recess approached much quicker then I thought it was the time they always got me, the time I’m never safe.

      Quickly I took a place in the cafeteria line so I could get myself a sandwich and head back to the shed where I’d be safe again soon as I got up in front I heard foot steps approaching me I knew it must be her I wasn’t I tried to move but there was nowhere to go Stephanie knocked me out of the way “Oops! Your not very lucky scar face, you’d better watch your back today, I’m everywhere you go”

      I ran again heading back to the sheds I can reach it blind folded I have memorized the place like the back of my palm…as I squeezed myself into the old shed. There on the corner sitting next to a pile of dead leaves was a girl as I stared closer I had recognized her. Her name was Lilith she was in the same year as me as she raised her head from hear shoulders her eye’s exploded with tears that fell from her eye like a flooding river. “Lilith? Are you alright? Are they after you too?” I said She lifted her head again looking a bit confused “They?” “Stephanie and her gang” “Yeah” murmured Lilith “They are after me too,” I said. “Why do they bully you?” Asked Lilith “Because of the scares” I said.

      The look of curiosity took over Lilith’s face, I knew she wanted to know how I got them but was just too afraid she might offend me by saying anything so I decided to tell her “It happened when I was a chilled my brother accidentally knocked a pan of boiling water and it poured all over me. I was rushed to the hospital straight away of course, but there was not much they could do to prevent the scarring. It was worse after the accident I had to wear plastic masks and casts it hurt really bad trying to move and the way strangers looked made it even worse for me even now after several skin grafts I’m covered in horrific-looking scars I have no friends as they only pity me or just stare in horror” Tears filled my eye’s remembering the stares I was given or tears that filled little children’s eye’s when I passed by, “I’m bullied because my family is poor and they all think someday they’re going to become celebrities and meet Johnny depp”, I chuckled to the thought and suddenly felt a bound between me and her.

      Why don’t we stand up for ourselves and fight back” Exclaimed Lilith, “But I’m not brave enough” I stammered.

      “Shhh” I whispered “Read the diaries of scare face” Barked a voice from out of the shed…Stephanie where could she have got my diary I always keep it safe in my b…That’s right my bag I forgot it in the cafeteria they must have went threw it and found it! My heart beat rose, I just wished that the earth would swallow me, thoughts ran threw my head, everyone is going to know how much I despise Stephanie and her gang they’re going to make my life a living hell if I don’t get my diary back, but how I couldn’t stand up they can take over me in a second

      “You don’t have anything to loose after they read your diary they’ll bully you at least now we’ve got a chance to humiliate them in front of everyone” reminded me Lilith…

      That was right; finally I agreed “Ok here is the plan Stephanie is in the middle and Angela is on the left and Nicole on her right, We’ll both sneak out from the shed you pull Angela down and I’ll pull Nicole, and stay bended on the ground crawl quickly behind Stephanie and I’ll push her so that she would trip and fall over you.” Making sure I got everything right I nodded and then she took off…

      As I lay flat on the ground Angela’s legs came in view I pulled them as hard as I can I heard a crash and yelp and then heard another one on the other side I crawled behind Stephanie as she still did not get what was happing Lilith stood up as quickly as possible and pushed Stephanie my diary flew in mid air and fell just a few feet away Lilith grabbed my diary, We walked hand in hand threw the laughing crowed.

      She handed me back my diary, “Thank you Lilith, you’ve helped me threw the worst moment of my life” I smiled and knew she was a true friend.
