"Aiden, V, wait up!" I see this boy with golden blonde hair running far from the distance with a bronzed hair female. I knew it was them so I chased them in the direction of the woods. I caught up to the two people that I identified as my 2 friends. Gently tapping the side of the golden blonde male. He turns around with a smile. "Aiden!" Hugging him like I haven't seen him in a while. V shows up behind me with the biggest fright that I have encountered. I jumped out of skin stepping back out of pure fright. Aiden holds onto both my arms with a smooth chuckle. "V really had you then Alley ''. I chuckled away. Aiden always made me smile, and I cannot lie that I did have feelings for this boy. I was 7, when we first met. Crazy isn't it?

Aiden, V and I used go to the same primary school. V, I have known the most. Her full name is Viola Claire Jones. She has bronzed hair, blue eyes. She wore expensive clothes to school even though she was young. V and I have been friends since kindergarten. Aiden joined our primary school when we were in our 3-4th year in primary. Aiden had golden blonde hair, brown eyes and was quite the midget in our school! He was bestfriends with one of the popular boys in school. Joshua kean. Joshue Kean would hang out with us time to time, he gave me creepy vibes. AND I, Alley M Lewis, is just a typical slightly overweight, black haired brown eyes, I have 6 siblings, 3 boys, 3 girls. My older brother is semi biological to me due to a different dad. This also includes the last two born who had a different dad. We had a crazy house. I am just a normal 7 year old hanging out with the 3 muscats of the school. Until something happened…

In year 6, the school that I was in, did not accept my sister who was dark skinned into the school. We knew this but still tried to apply to her as this was the closest school to us. I was told that I'd have to move schools to provide protection for my sister. And so I did. I joined a school that seemed friendly, but I didn't want to wrap myself around with new people. I left my old friends for a new school, I couldn't contact them at all and it really upset me. I joined the new school in hopes that I will be ok until high school which is just a year away! But that wasn't the case. I recognised a person from my old church, she was nice and I hung out with her for a bit, but when an old student in the school came back… everything took a turn for the worse. Her name was Amelia, she kept bullying me everyday, and using everyone against me. The bullying didn't stop until the end of the year.

Towards the end of the year, 2 weeks before. We were told about a primary school joining us for the day to learn about the high schools that we are going to. Turns out it was the primary school I went to! And that I can finally see my friends again! That was the last I saw him…
