At school the next day, I tried to avoid Glendy. But... It didn't work.

At lunch, I had my hood on to hide my face from her. Glendy found me right away.

"Who are you hiding from?" She asked.

Ugh how did she know?! I wondered. I think she might be stalking me...

I was thinking "Please go away now!"

But what I said was "I'm cold. And sad."

"What happened?" She asked sympathetically.

"Well..."

Then I starting going on and on about my brother and my family. Then I stopped because I realized, I've been sharing this stuff with Glendy!!!!

"I have to go." I told her then I ran out of there and ran to the ladies room and locked myself in a stall. Then I started to ball.

"Gio? Are you in here?" I heard Glendy ask.

"Go away." I replied.

"Come on Gio..."

"I said GO AWAY!!!"

And then I stormed out of there. Passing her sad little face.

When I got home from school, I went in my room to do homework. Then Aunt Wilma called me down for dinner.

Dinner tonight was Aunt's famous chicken pot pie. Well, famous in our family. It was silent until she asked about my day. When she asked about my day, I started to say everything about how no one wants to be friends with me and I need help with that but that wouldn't be very cool if I got help from her. I was just blabbering for 10 minutes until I got everything I needed to say out of my brain. Then my aunt said the most powerful words right then. Those words were:

"Being yourself is what's most important and if people don't like you for who you are just because of the clothes you're wearing or because of the family that you don't have, then they aren't good people to have around."

"Thanks..." I said, not really knowing what to say. "That's awesome. You can be so... Inspiring at times. Um, can I be excused from the table please?"

"Sure."

I ran up to my room and shut the door.
Aunt Wilma should be a motivational speaker, because that motivated me. A lot. I cracked my knuckles. Then I went to bed.
