Chapter Two
Days pass and Robert still constantly talks to me. It’s nice waking up every morning knowing that there is someone out there willing to be your friend. “Sky! Sky!” I look up and see Robert running down the hallway towards me and I brace myself. He slams into me and gives me a big hug. I stare at him in surprise.
“Guess what! They put me on the football team! Isn’t that awesome!” he smiles and twirls me around, “You have to come and watch every game okay?”
I nod in agreement, a smile growing on my face as well. He jumps up and down and releases me.
He grins, “Now, if we win the first game, you have to say something. Anything okay? I’ll get you to talk. I will!” He takes me by the hand and pulls me through the halls talking of how excited he is and how he’ll win for sure, “Even though the first game is a while away, that just means I’ll have enough time to make sure I’m ready. I’ll win I promise you that.”
Once I get home that day I go straight to my room like always. I smile and dismiss the fact that Jeremy only hurt me moments before. I only think of Jeremy, my first friend. He means so much to me. I smile and clutch a pillow to my chest. My own personal angel…
Martha walks in at the moment. She looks at me weirdly, “Why are you smiling girl? Have you done something bad?” she looks around the room investigating it.
I shake my head no. She gives me one long look and says, “If I ever catch you doing something you aren’t supposed to I’ll report it to your mother immediately.” She takes one last look around the room then walks out.
