The girl with green eyes is starting middle school, in new place, hoping to find new friends, becoming a new girl, As she fills herself with confidence. The girl with green eyes has all the confidence, the confidence most wish they had. As she walks through those new doors and she frolics in the school halls, she bumps into someone completely new. Tis a boy with the black hair. In time they become close, eventually they become closer than close. Soon the girl with green eyes falls for the black-haired boy, little did the green-eyed girl know that he had fallen for her as well. As time goes by, day after day, week after week, month after month, the green-eyed girl is sad, for her mother is in the hospital for cancer to the breasts. She doesn't let that get the best of her though. She still smiles, still laughs, still speaks. The black-haired boy and the green-eyed girl, best friends, soon drift apart. The black-haired boy and the green-eyed girl begin arguing. The green-eyed girl is still not letting that defeat her. However, some new beings come along, and rip the strength from her. These beings are the girl in the pink, the boy in blue, and the blonde boy. The girl in the pink, writes mean and nasty things about her, the boy in the blue, torments her for her weight, and the blonde boy calls her names and starts spreading rumors about the green-eyed girl. Soon, the green-eyed girl's confidence is in pieces. Throughout the school's devastating year, the green-eyed girl is now wearing hoodies, for she feels that her body is disgusting, her hair is always up, and her head is always low. No one knows just how she feels, she hides it all. The green-eyed girl now has a low self-esteem, she still smiles though, for it was her mother's last wish, before she passed. When her mother passed, the green-eyed girl's father, was beating her. She hides bruises, the scars, and the pain. She keeps it bottled up. She asks herself what she's done wrong, why they hate her, why she can't fit in. The green-eyed girl now no longer smiles like she used to. After a year, the green-eyed girl is still getting harassed. Every day she wishes she could see her mother, wishes she could be free, wishes she was more like them, wishes her father wouldn't hurt her, wishes... She could...disappear. The green-eyed girl gets a terrifying idea. She grabs a calendar and circles a date. Next time the green-eyed shows up for school, things are worse. The people she wishes would leave her alone, are hitting her. She starts to imagine what it would be like with her no longer on this miserable planet. As the green-eyed girl is being beat up, people are watching, laughing, filming. However, she also finds that no one comes to help her. The green-eyed girl goes home, her father at work. She grabs a knife, slits her wrists, and finally, takes her own life...she was done. When the people find out their devastated. They think, "How can someone take their own life?", mainly the people who think they've done nothing wrong, are the ones who are to blame. However, a familiar face shows to the funeral, even makes a speech. Tis the green-eyed girl's old friend, the boy with black hair. He states, "She may not have been happy, but she brought that wonderful smile everywhere she went. She was beautiful. Some of us, even I myself, was too blind to see the lonesome pain in her eyes. Rest peacefully. You are loved."
