"The Friends"

I was really stressed that day, it was the first time I skipped school just because Snaky told me too, we were going to stay in the bathroom in the middle of switching class and after 20 minutes we would take all our stuff and leave, Snaky's friends were going to be waiting for us in their truck, and then we were going to the beach, they were 4 years older than us, wich meant they had about 17.

"I dont think this is a good idea.. I think we should go back to school" I said in a obnoxious tone.
"Ohh no! you didnt made me do all this for you to give you to give up right now! I'm serious Kathy!" she retort.
"Do you have any water? I feel really stressed right now, my head hurts a lot"
"I'm sure this will make you feel a lot better water never helps, i bet this wont make you feel stressed anymore instead you will feel relaxed and peaceful"
"Victoria I don't think this is a good idea. I mean isn't that illegal?"
"DONT CALL ME VICTORIA!!!!!!!!!!"

It was blatant that she didn't like her real name Victoria since she made everyone call her "Snaky" because she said she was like a snake, sloopy and scary but her mom always called her Vicky, I had only talked to her mom about two times but they didn't had that relationship that mothers and daughters are supposed to have.
"Sorry, I'm really sorry, i just forgot..... I swear I won't call you like that anymore"
"Well, i woould take your apologize if you do what I tell you too."
"Umm..."
"You will even enroll in this group if you do it!"

She really had aspire for me to do it, I just couldn't say no maybe it just wasn't because she wanted me too, I really wanted to be in that group.

"Just because you insisted to much"

She passed me a cigarette for some reason I didn't choke, instead i smoked like an expert.
I didn't smoke just one cigarette, I smoked about 6.
All of them told me to stop because there wasn't going to be enought for the beach but i just couldn't stop.
I became addicted to it, when we got to the beach, Snaky's friends went to buy some more, I wanted to go whit them but they said no.
I felt dizzy and felt asleep.
After some time Snaky woke me up and told me that her friends never came back, I ignored her and decide to go back to sleep.
When I finally woke up, nobody was there, my money wasn't in my pocket neither my cellphone.

I started walking until a old women told me if i needed help i said yes, I didn't care what happened anymore I felt useless.

When i got home, mom was crying everyone was worried, I told them everything.

Next day in school, Snaky wouldn't talk to me neither their friends, I tried to tell her to explain me what happened but she ignored me.
Now I have new and real friends.


THIS IS NOT A REAL STORY.

"A normal day"


It was supposed to be a normal day: wake up, take a bath, school, come back, eat, homework, TV, facebook and sleep.
But it wasnt like that.

We used to live in Texas and I was about 7 years old.
My mom woked me up at 6:00am but I didn't wake up at that exact moment, I decided to sleep some more. But that "some more" turned out to be A LOT more, when I finally woke up it was about 6:55. I got really scared since my mom was going to get upset and because my sister left without me!

I got dressed up, got out of the house really quite because I didnt wanted my mom to know, I went downstairs and there was no bus, no sister, nobody.
I didn't want to go upstairs because my mom would know that I fell asleep.

I wait, wait, and wait but nothing.

Then an idea came up to my mind like if I just got hit whit a baseball ball.
I decide to walk to school, it wasn't that far it was about 15 minutes in car and i guessed it would be 30 minutes walking.

I walked, walked and walked, I checked my clock to see what time was it.
7:20, 7:35, 7:40.
Sometimes i was scared since i felt people were following me but there were just cars passing by.
Until i heard someone screaming from far away, i didn't want to turn around, i thought maybe just drunk guy passing by and just decided to walk faster, well more like running.
(Don't think i wasn't scared because i was!)
7:50,8:20.
I walked and walked some more and no school but there was still someone screaming from far away.
I finally decide to turn around and there she was.
My mom dripping tears from her eyes trying to run towards me like a dog chasing a mailman.

"What are you doing!?!?" She said screaming at me from far far away.
"Well....." I just couldnt reply, she seemed so worried and I was so simple and normal.

I started walking towards her, when we finally got together, she hugged me and told me if I was crazy but still hugging me.
I started crying, I didn't know why i was crying but i just was.

I explained her what happened from my point of view.
But her point of view was a lot different from mine;

In the morning she tried to wake me up but I didn't, then she came back but I was still asleep and she decide to leave me there and skip school for just one day, but when she came back to check me, I wasn't there.

I think nobody should keep anything from their parents or lie to them because there are consecuences.

"Be Her"


Even when she was 6 years old, I have always wanted to be like her.
Her, Paulina Tribaldos, the girl that everybody likes, the girl that tells me what to do when I’m whit her, Paulina is the prettiest in the school, who has the boy I couldn’t get.
The girl.
Her.
She.
The one I can’t be.
One day she told me that if I wanted to be like her.
I said yes.
She just smiled and turned around; I wondered and wondered what she was going to do.
The next day she came and gave me a hug and told me that everything I needed to do, was to be myself.
I didn’t get it.
But now I do, I will never be someone is not me.
I will be me always like it or not.
I tell my mom this story and i get embarresed because, i realized how stupid i was by not wanting to be myself.

“Rachel, the girl”


We were both little, I was about 9 years old and she was 8.

She is Rachel, who now suffers of a mental disease, why?

You might ask that question.

Why does she suffer a mental disease?

Because of me and my stupid imagination.

That’s the answer a simple short answer.

We were in her house, waiting for her mom to come because we were going to this new park, we were so happy.

All our friends were going to be there: Marcos, Lucia, Pamela, Ricky, Daniela, Karla, Monique and Christopher. We wanted to look really pretty for him; he was the “hottie” of the school.

Rachel’s mom was supposed to pick us up at 4:50 but she called us and told us she was going to take more time, we had no problem; we were playing to be the superheroes.

Rachel lives in a apartment 12th floor, her room window is facing the pool, we were really excited because we could spend more time together.

“You’re not a real superhero like me!” I said.

“But WHY!?!”

“Because only real superheroes can fly” and I threw myself from the bed to the floor, moving my hands like a bird, pretending to fly.

“Be careful! You almost hit the wall!”

“But I didn’t because I’m a superhero and superheroes don’t hit themselves while flying, but of course if tried to do it you will have hit yourself because you don’t know how to fly like me”

“Yes I do!”

“No you don’t!

“Yes I do!”

“Well show it then!”

She threw herself from the bed, whit all the strength and hit herself whit the wall.

I started laughing and singing:

“I told you, I told you, I’m better than you, yes I am, wuwuwu”

She didn’t reply, she was just there laid on the floor, doing nothing.

I started to get nervous I got closer to her; she was pale like a blank sheet of paper.

I tried to call her mom but I didn’t know any number, maybe I did but I was too nervous to remember any.

I decided to get water and throw it to Rachel, nothing.

I was scared, I was crying, I felt guilty and sad.

RINGGGG!

The phone, I picked it up.

It was Rachel’s mom.

“Are you ready girls?

“No.”

“Are you ok, Alexa?”

“Can you come, please, like now?”

“Yeahh, of course, but is everything ok?”

I started crying.

When she arrived I told her what happened, she got Rachel and we both left to the hospital.

Rachel is fine now.

She can’t walk like she used too, she can’t talk like she used too, and we can’t be the friends we used too.

I know Rachel since we were in kinder, but it was different before, she talked to me about everything, she told me all these nice things, but now everything is different, now she only talks about how she wishes this wouldn’t have happened to her.

And I just know one thing.

This happened because of me.

"The ambulance"

The noise of that ambulance, the noise that passed by to say good-morning every morning, the noise that you could hear from my hovel house, the noise that had already agitate me the past 3 weeks, the noise that made me shiver because I knew something was wrong, that noise, the noise of the ambulance.

6:00am
It was a normal morning, it was a school day to be specific, Wednesday, mom woke me up to go to school, I wasn’t going on the bus which wasn’t normal, she was taking me to school which was even more weird since dad always takes the car to go to work.

When I got to school, I found out my boyfriend was cheating on me which made me really depressed but I decided to get over it and pretend I didn’t care at all.

11:30am
P.E time!
I love P.E, but that was when my boyfriend helped me win all the games, when he hugged me if I got hurt and told me that everything was OK.
I really tried to impress my ex that’s why I strenuous a lot, hoping my boyfriend could see all my effort, I toil up the hill, I ran next to him in the mile and he just smiled.

12:45am
Mom came to pick me up at 12 at the middle of the day.
I asked her if everything was ok, she said the worst thing that I have ever heard in my life; she said we were leaving to California, permanently, forever!. She said that we were leaving tomorrow in the morning, I had to say good-bye to everyone.

2:45pm
I had already packed my stuff like: clothes, shoes, make up, etc..
I started to think how I was going to say good-bye to my friends, I thought of doing a party in my house.
I urgently told my mom if I could borrow her cell phone, called my friends, told my best friend to administer the party and invite just the adequate people.


3:50pm
The party started, everything was good, my ex boyfriend came gave a good-bye kiss and left, just like that, didn’t stayed more than 6 minutes.
I got really nervous and decided started drinking a lot of juice made out of citrus which was supposed to calm my nerves.
Well everything went upside down, something on the citrus disrupted my digestive system, I started throwing up and suddenly everything was black.

4:24pm
Party is over.
My mom found me on the floor whit all my friends around me and askesd me if I was ok and what happened, I told her I drank a lot of juice and she got really upset, we were not leaving that day.

8:00pm
Alicia, my mom, sister and dad, were in the hospital whit me and now the ambulance came not to say good-morning it came to say good-bye.
