middle school
when you pull her hair in class
everyone is laughing then
but when the same is done to you
is it just a game then
when you're the one walking down the hall
with everyone looking at you strangely
then YOU find out
there was a sign on your back that said
"kick me"
high school
you start out just making comments
"did you see that girl's outfit"
but then you come up to her and say
"did you even try today"
she runs home crying
but then the next day
she walks up to her locker
and what does it say?
"go drown in a lake"
but what did she do?
what did she say?
then rumors start spreading
about this new boy in class
she was just trying to help
because she knows what it's like
to be like that.
muted with no power
no speaking
not aloud
so she whispered in his ear
"it'll get better, somehow"
"are you flirting with the new kid!?"
her friend didn't hesitate to say.
"i was just helping him pick up his books"
she became a reject that day
walking towards her locker
one look
her heart dropped
then she screamed into the air
"YOU THINK CALLING SOME A ***** IS FUNNY?
IT'S NOT"
"who are you trying to convince"
said the girl walking in
"YOU USED TO BE MY FRIEND"
"but you dumped me for him.
so have fun starting from the beginning again."
bu wait.
whatever happened to them?
the boy and the girl?
the used to be friend?
10 years later*
girl has a child
boy still her friend
they walk towards there building
laughing
towards the company they brought in
looking through the applications
"that girl popped up again"
"i'll take care of it"
and the boy wrote
it was "just a game" you said
