Lost But Found

Lost But Found Again

•6th Grader• (past)
I was standing there, behind the school building. Droplets of fresh tears came rushing down. As I remember the sentence whom the boy I was dating just said.

We are through, I don't know why I'm dating a fatty like you.

"W-what are you talking about?" I shudder under my breathe.

He replied coldly with "I can't date someone so fat, fat ass girls are not my type you know?" Though he sounded cold as ice, he said it in a casual way.

I manage to get my trembling word out "you Hypocrite" I whisper. And cursed under my breathe.

He shrugged, not showing a care in the least. When he was about to leave, he spoke in a nice-mocked manner. "Don't worry, if you are lucky enough, you might even find someone".

I faked a smirked, and bring myself enough courage to talk back at him "if so, he would be way better then you".
He laughed, "you wish" he spoke deeply.

He left me in tears, I was ruin. I was broken. I was abandon.

After school, I didn't bother in answering mom question, or talk to any body. And as soon as we got home, I ran to my room and cried for hours.
As soon as I know it, I slowly averted to depression. I locked my doors, even though the worried voiced of my parents begging me to come out.
I ate little, and its been a month.
Spam text were from my best friend, Kelly. I signed, my eyes were swollen, and I needed to go to school. I looked in the mirror and saw a slim figure I don't regonize. But I soon realize it was me.

I gasped, and took another glance to double checked it was me.

Oh my Fucking Gosh.

I slowly open the door, letting it creak loudly. My parents were alerted, they ran to me. Giving me kisses, hugs and tear of joy, yet mix with sadness.
"Honey! I'm so sorry" dad kisses me on the foreheads.
"Oh my, we might need to order new uniform sizes." Mom observes me, narrowing her eyes. I nodded in agreement, and as soon as I got my uniform.

I was off to school.

No one seems to recognize me, but there were whispers around me. Guys giving me glances and girls stared me in disgust.

When I got into my classroom, all the talking from the classroom went dead silent. Kelly squinted her eyes, which soon turned in shock manner. "Olivia Smith, is that you?" She question me. I hesitated to nod, but I did it to assure her.

Everyone stared in shocked, and amazement. Kelly cried a bit, knowing I was back. She gave me her famous deadly hugs. I sighed, and giggle saying "I'm back".

•Days Later•
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How did I get myself in stupid situations? There was a boy who was getting beaten up, and worse...been called a fat ass. I had to defend him.

After all, I have the same experience...

"Stop it" I spoke aloud. The beaten up boy looked up in a hopeful expression. "Why should we?" One of the bullies commented. "Because I said so" I crossed my arms, and glaring at them.
I tapped my foot, waiting for a respond. "You wanna g—" before the bully could finish, a teacher from afar was walking toward the hallways.

They quickly scattered, and cursed at me and the guy who was being bullied.

"Are you okay?" I ask softly and holding a hand out for him to grab. He took my hand and with a trembling voice he replied with "y-yeah".

Little did I know, since that day. We started hanging out and been close friends.

      •Present•
I was walking in the school hallway with my best friend, Kelly. As we walked straight, I stumbled upon the popular guy. He was surrounded by groups of boy and girls. His looks could make anyone fall for him. I trace his jawline, and  chocolate brown messy hair was pulled to the side. Also those dark blue eyes stared into mines. We made eye contact, but his eyes linger to my bracelet. The bracelets was from someone special, with the craving in the medal saying 'Forever'. His eyes widen, but his expression remains soft and amuse.

I pretended I didn't notice him, and walked by him with my best friend. But as we came close, he whisper to me quietly, that only I could hear. "It's really you Olivia.". It startled me, how does he know my name?

I turned back, but he wasn't looking at me, so I decided to go to class.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After school ended, I walked home with Kelly and ask her "You know that guy, who's very hot? Like super super hot?"
She stared at me and she beam, "Oh my gosh! You mean that guy?!" She replied in excitement. "Brown hair, and blue eyes?" I ask to assure it was the right guy. She giggled and nodded. "He's cute" she twirled her hair non-stop. I giggled "but, I think he is someone I use to know?" My face went serious, but I kept a smile. She shrugged, "Why would you be friends with someone so hot?" She playfully elbow me. I giggled "so you're not hot" I smirked in amuse. "No! I'm an exception" she rolled her eyes, but let a smile escape.

We turned our own ways, heading home. My parent always work late, so I'm mostly alone.

               Who was that guy?

I signed, it's better to ask him myself.
My eyes went wearily, and I went to sleep.

The next day, I told Kelly I will be arriving at school early. At first she complain, but later I soon convinced her that I couldn't come walk with her.

I search everywhere, yet I couldn't find him. Maybe he doesn't go to school early? I signed in distress. But soon, I found him. He was alone, yet probably texting on his phone.

"Hey" I shift uncomfortably. He glance at me, and took his phone away. He replied softly with "Hey". 

My body tense, but I manage to blurt out to him "Do I know you?" His eyes narrowed, "yes you do.." there was a sorrowful look in his eyes that makes me want to hug him. "But.. I think you have forgotten..". He glance away from me, but averted to the window. I don't know what to say that this point.

But I need to replied back, anything would do! I quickly blurted put "You are Samuel Hayes?".
Oh my gosh. What did I jut ask him?! Samuel..moved away years ago..

He looked at me, but this time a hopeful expression. He gently said "I'm back". My eyes widen and tears rained down. Without knowing it, I found myself hugging him.

"Your back!" I whimpered. He softly patted my head. "Yeah, I changed a lot huh?" When he ask the question, I thought that he use to be an cute innocent chubby boy. Whom I hang out with. "What happen to you? You used to be so cute.." I slowly ask him. He chuckled, "I was a dork huh? But I changed for many reason" he stopped patting me, but was smirking at me in amuse. "What for?" I
question him back. "I'll tell you if I feel like it" to my disappointment, he walked away.

He turned his face to look at me "Later" he waved. Then turned away, I signed but then again, I can't blame him. I'm happy, that I still kept that bracelet he gave me.

    He was lost.... but then found.

I thought to myself and smiled.
