It started when I was in fourth grade. Mama and I had had a car crash. I had been in shock, Mama had had broken shoulder nerves. New to this other school, near who is now my step-dad, no one bothered to talk to me. The people called me rude names, hated me because I was smarter than all of them, the teacher favored me. Even once the students made me eat dog treats. Then they took pictures. To me, that was my hell.
Then, a young girl, very short, two years younger than me came up. She said she knew how I felt. I doubted it, and she explained. Her brother, James, never really spoke to her. He always told her to go away. I knew she had known what it felt like to be not wanted in school or home. We decided to be eachtothers friends. As time went on, the girl, Marianna, had to move. Every weekend I went to her house. Though I didnt want to. I relized that she was way younger.
When one of my parties came, my 13th, I had invited all my friends. Or, the ones 12 and up. Marianna stayed home. She called, and I had told her I was getting ready to go to Florida. Today wasnt gonna be a Marianna Day. I was, for once, gonna be Marianna free. If i had only known about August.......
When the end of July came, I was almost done with Summer school. My plans had been quiet clear. After school today, I wad going to Mariannas house and we were gonna go swimming and bike riding. When I got home, Mama had given me the worst knews.
"You arent going to Mariannas' house now."
i was super shocked.
"Why not? We had planned today for weeks!"
Then Mama showed me the paper.
'Town girl Hit And Dragged by 16 Wheeler truck'
By then, I knew that my life, and mariannas' had ended.
