Chapter 4
I made my way to my
locker, the hallways silent. I thought of all the memories I had
made here. My first kiss was on the steps I was walking on now.
His name was Brody Cootz. We were walking together, a railing
separating us. He then blurted out “Whit- Whitney, will you
go to the Freshman Formal, with me?” I was taken with such
surprise that I stopped in my tracks. “Yeah!” I
shouted quickly. He then grabbed my shoulders and just kissed me.
Not a peck, either. I didn’t stop him, though, which
surprised me myself. We were okay friends, talking now and then.
He didn’t leave my side the rest of the week. When the
dance finally came around, he got sick. So instead of going to
the formal, I made him soup and brought it to his house. I then
stayed at his house all night, watching movies and eating soup
and drinking hot chocolate. He moved our junior year to Chicago.
I then remember my first fight here. A girl, Monica Jones, the
jock of the school was picking on a freshman. Monica was in every
sport known to man at our school. And just because she was
6’3” and built like a linebacker, she thought she
could bully everyone else. I remember it so clearly. There was a
very short, skinny girl walking down the hall, trying to get to
her class. Monica thought it would be funny to trip her and spew
her books everywhere. The girl fell, her glasses falling off her
face, books and papers everywhere. Monica picked up her glasses
and began laughing hysterically. I helped the girl get back on
her feet and snatched the glasses from Monica. “Excuse
me?” she said, trying to size me up. I’m very short,
5’2” since my sophomore year. “Yes, excuse
you.” I handed the girl her glasses and told her to hurry
to her class. She did as I said and left. I picked up my things
and began walking until the hood of my hoodie was pulled. I spun
around to face Monica. “Why’d you help that
freshy?” she asked me. “Because I have morals.”
I spat, annoyed with her actions. I tried walking yet again to
only be brought back. “Well you don’t have to fight
her battles!” she yelled, being petty. “And you
didn’t have to bully her.” I said, getting more and
more annoyed. “But I can, so I will!” and then she
kicked my shin with her foot. I then threw punch, connecting my
hand with her face. I heard a crack, her nose instantly began
bleeding. She then started screaming and crying about her nose. I
was out of school for 3 days, she being the “victim”
I frowned at the thought. She now lives in New York with her
grandmother. I got to my locker and sighed. I touched the cold,
gray metal. This was my favorite place. This is where I met
Carla. We were “locker neighbors” as she liked to
say. We got really close at the end of our sophomore year. That
summer, she committed suicide. People said it was because of
bullying but I knew the real reason. That’s a whole
different story. People were always leaving, first my mother,
then Brody, Monica, Carla, and now me. But every time a door
closes, another usually opens.
