| Chapter 3 |
| Kayla walked into her room and shut the door. She looked out her window with tears in her eyes. "Oh God, their house is right there," Kayla thought miserably as she walked from her window. She sat down on her bed and started to write in her diary. DEAR DIARY, HI AGAIN! TODAY WAS A PRETTY GOOD DAY. THE "GROUP" DIDN'T SAY MUCH TO ME, BUT WHEN I WAS LEAVING AFTER 4TH HOUR ONE OF THE GIRLS SAID "OH LOOK THERE GOES LITTLE MISS SMARTY.. AND UGLY!" IT HURTS SOO MUCH WHEN THEY SAY STUFF LIKE THAT. THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW ME! I CAME HERE 3 YEARS AGO AND THEYJUST DECIDED.. I DON'T LIKE HER! I DON'T GET HOW THEY DO THAT. JUST TO DISMISS SOMEONE LIKE THAT WAS UN-THINKABLE .. TILL I CAME HERE. I FELT BETTER AFTER I TALKED TO SARA AND EMILEE. THEY CONVINCED ME THAT NOT EVERYONE IN THE WORLD ARE LIKE THE PEOPLE IN MY SCHOOL. THEN THINGS CHANGED.. AGAIN! I WAS WALKING IKE AND I RAN INTO OUR NEW NEIGHBORS. THERE WERE 2 GUYS. THEY SEEMED LIKE DECENT GUYS AND ONE OF THEM WAS PRETTY CUTE. HIS NAME IS LANCE. WHEN WE FIRST MET HE DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ME. OF COURSE I WAS WRONG. JUSTIN, THE OTHER GUY, TOLD ME THAT HE DIDN'T WANT ME AROUND THEIR HOUSE. THAT HURT SOOO MUCH. EVEN MORE THAT WHEN THE "GROUP" MAKES FUN OF ME. I KNEW RIGHT OFF THE BAT THAT THEY DIDN'T LIKE ME, BUT THESE GUYS SEEMED LIKE THEY COULD JUST BE FRIENDS. I DON'T HAVE ANYONE LIKE THAT AND I HATE IT. IM SO LONELY WITHOUT ANYONE. SURE I HAVE SARA, EMILEE AND A FEW OTHER FRIENDS, BUT THATS AS FAR AS IT GOES. MY FAMILY WOULD NEVER UNDERSTAND WHAT I GO THROUGH. MY SISTERS ARE ALWAYS RIDICULING ME AND THEY ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING TO COMMENT ABOUT ME. NO ONE IS THERE FOR ME ANYMORE. I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO CARE FOR ME AND TELL ME THAT I AM SOMEONE! I KNOW MY FAMILY SAYS IT BUT THEY ARE MY FAMILY! WELL I AM NOW TOTALLY DEPRESSED SO IM GOING TO LAY DOWN. C-YA KAYLA Kayla put her diary back and went to the bathroom to clean her face of traces of tears. She then went downstairs and looked out the kitchen window. "UHG! does every window look out at their house?" Kayla thought to herself as she let Ike out in the back. She watched him run to the end of the fence and bark at a little pug dog. "Ike stop barking,"Kayla screamed out into the back. "We don't want Justin and his friend to hate us more and now for a specific reason," she added under her breath. Just then a man with dark brown hair walked out into his back yard. "Busta, get in this house now and leave the big doggy alone" Kayla walked out into her backyard and grabbed Ike by the collar." Let's go Ike" "Wow, you sure have a beautiful dog. His name is Ike? Mines Chris." "Hi Chris. Yes this is Ike and I'm Kayla. And thank-you. He's a great dane." "Hi Kayla. Yay, now I know one of our neighbors. Me and my friends just bought this house." "Yeah I know. I met two of your friends earlier. Lance and Justin. Ike here grabbed onto a chair Justin was holding and wouldn't give it back," Kayla said trying to hold back to tears that came to her eyes as she thought about how the rest of the guys and how they would also title her as the "OUTCAST" once they talked to Justin. "Ha-Ha! I would have loved to see that. He doesn't really like big dogs. Thats why I bought Busta here. He's a small dog and he seems to get along with Justin." "Justin didn't seem to mind Ike here,"Kayla added, "At least he liked Ike more than m-me,"Kayla added quietly around the lump in her throat. "Umm.. I have to go now. I'll see you around, hopefully. Nice meeting you Chris" "Yeah nice meeting you too Kayla. Bye." |
| Chris walked back into his new house in search of Justin. He could have swore he heard Kayla say that Ju Ju liked her dog more than her. Her eyes showed that he had hurt her some way and he wanted to know what had happened. "JUSTIN!! Where are you?" "Hey man whats up?" "You meet our new neighbor?" "Yeah why?" "I just met her and her dog in the back yard. She said some things that confused me." "What did sh- Oh no. !" "What?" " I thought she recognized us as a group when she said it was nice to see new faces around here. I swear I thought she was being sarcastic ,so I told her that I would be nice to see her dog around the house as long as she wasn't with him." "You didn't! You idiot! She said to me that you liked her dog better than her ,and thats low cause you don't like big dogs. My gosh. No wonder she had tears in her eyes!" " Justin you made Kayla cry twice today and you just met her. I think thats a record or something," Lance said from behind. He had a little edge to his voice, and Chris recognized it as some type of feeling toward the girl. " Lance just shut up for the second time today! I know what I did and now I have to go apologize. Thanks man for letting me know how she felt about that. I didn't think I hurt her that bad." Justin walked out the front door and around to the other side of the block. He had to make it up to this girl and he didn't even know. He just knew he had to if not for him then for Lance. Justin knew Lance liked this girl by the way he had stuck up for her. |
