Left behind

I was about 14 when it happened, oh the good old days when I was still so trusting. I thought everyone was a good person once you gave them a chance, even the meanest of criminals. I know I was so naive and I was 14!! How could I have been so dumb you might ask but that remains a mystery to both of us. Well i should probably do some explaining as to why I'm venting right now so here goes.

It was about five years ago but I remember like it was 5 minutes ago. My mum had decided it was time to change schools because she found out about the "incident" (not much to it, just got bullied that's all). I never told my mum about it because I didn't want to worry her, she was already going through enough being a single parent working two jobs and still has time for me, I mean like how? Your mama's just can't. Well back to the point, I had come back from school wearing a long sleeve in the freaking summer!! Just because those stupid bullies decided to pay me a visit during lunch which resulted in a billion bruises on my arms and spaghetti in my hair. I had been trying to hide from my mum but l could tell she was onto me, I'm wack at hiding things especially from my mother. Well long story short she saw the bruises, almost fainted, screamed at my school principal, screamed at my bullies parents and pulled me out of that school.

She kept me home schooled for a whole year cause of those dang bullies. But after a year of begging she agreed to put me in a new school. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and slap my past self, my life was going great but nooo stupid anti-social me wanted friends, what type of socially awkward teenager would want to make friends!!! And that's how I found myself in a new school.

A few weeks into my new school and I had managed to make myself some "friends"(note the sarcasm). They had invited me over for a sleepover on a Friday and foolishly I accepted. My mum drove me and we got there 6. For most of the night they just talked about cute boys in our grade but I could literally care less, I just took my time eating snacks and playing games on my phone. By nine my "friend's"( Don't forget the sarcasm) mum told us it was time for bed. I was already snuggled in my sleeping bag when the girls told me we were playing a game, truth or dare, the literal bane of my existence. I didn't want to disobey because I didn't want any trouble but stupid fourteen year old me wanted to fit it in.

About ten minutes into the game it was my turn again and you see I had chosen truth the past three rounds and I didn't wanna come off as a wimp in front of my new "friends"(100% sarcasm here). So my stupid butt chose dare, I thought I could see their evil smirks but I just brushed it off. The owner of the house had dared me to sneak into her mum's room and steal her Nintendo switch back from her mum. You see I had tried to talk myself out of it but these devils freaking guilt tripped me, they pulled the whole "I thought we were friends" speech and my bird brain agreed. They followed me there to make sure I didn't chicken out. They followed me to front of the room and watched through the cracked door as a crept around looking for it. Then the worst thing happened one of them "accidentally"(there is no need to tell you, you know what to do) dropped something causing her mum to wake up just as I was searching through one of her drawers( I know very implicating). She looked at me gasped and screamed at the top of her lungs. She had started pushing me out calling me a thief, I had tried to explain what happened and called on the girls for back up but when I received no answer I turned back to see that they had left me. Those jerks abandoned me. They Left me behind. Now the mum had added liar and crazy to words she was throwing at me.

I had begged to show her proof that I wasn't lying but when got to the room all girls were sound asleep!?!? What!!, hold up these rotten eggs were just wide awake. I explained to her mum how it was a dared to get her daughter's gaming console back but she had a confused expresion which turned back into anger as she screamed at me " Why are you such a liar my daughter hates video games". I was speechless they had played me and dang they got me good. They "woke"(you know what to do) up and tiredly asked what the noise was about. The adult woman proceeded to explain everything including the story I had given. Then that little witch denied everything with the most innocent face ever.

Her mum called my mum to pick me up and my mum knew I wasn't capable of that so she fake shouted at me. I knew she'll ask for an explanation later. As she drove me home at 11 pm I sat at the back of the car I looked out the window and I saw it, those girls had that evil look in their eyes, it was like someone scribbled EVIL on their forehead.

The rest of the night to me was mostly crying but I got over it eventually and look at me now, I study at Harvard university and last I heard of them, one was in jail for selling drugs, two of them had repeated the 9th grade like three times and just started the 11th grade but hey who's comparing. But who has left who now jerks. That's right I left them behind. They eat my dirt.
