Early Sunday.
*Aphmau's POV*
Yawning when I get up, I smile. A real one. My date is with Garroth today! I always knew that Sunday was my favorite day.

Bzzt bzzt

-Hey Aphmau, listen I'm really sorry and I was just scared that Gene and his gang would beat me up if I was still ur boyfriend so I broke up with u. I still love u and I would like to know if u wanted to go out w/ me again?

I groan out loud. I take back my statement on Sunday's.

-no way Laurence. U need to lose my number. I have moved on, so u need to stay away from me. Besides Gene will still probably beat u up.

-u don't know?

-don't know what?

-Garroth got rid of them. He reported them to the school. They have been expelled.

I look up from my phone in shock. What? He did that? For me?

Of course he did.
He pities you.
He feels so bad for you that he asked you out.

I shake my head. As if to tell myself to stop but I can't. So I grab a note books and I write. I do it. When I want to, but don't want to cut.

I'm not good enough.
I'm not smart enough.
I'm not pretty enough.
I'm not skinny enough.
I'm not normal enough.
I'm not cool enough.
Im not popular enough.
I'm not talented enough.
I'm not funny enough.
I'm not happy enough.
He doesn't deserve me.
I will never be enough.
Everything is true.
I don't know why he hangs out with me.
Maybe he does pity me.
I wouldn't be surprised.
I would feel bad for me too.
FC probably feels bad for me too.
But FC was my friend before I even told him.

I remember that day like it was yesterday.

{Flashback.}
I decided to text FC about my secret.

-hey FC, u there?

-yeah. I'm here Shu, what's up.

-I have something I need to tell you. And I don't know what you will think.

-what is it Shu? u can tell me anything.

-I cut.

-u do?!?

-r u mad?

-no, I'm not. I'm sorry. I want to be there for u.

-really?!

-of course, y?

-all my friends ditched me. I have been going through depression bc I'm being bullied at school.

-.....Shu..

-it's okay. I'm fine.

-I know ur not.

-u r my only friend.

-I want to stick by u. When u r at ur worst and when u r at ur best.

-that's the sweetest thing anyone has ever told me.

-well I am pretty sweet.

-FC!

-what?

-no need to boast about it!

{Flashback End}

Of course we were both joking but it was the first time I had smiled and laughed in weeks.

-Aphmau r u still there?

Laurence.

-yeah. Thanks for the info. Still not going on that date. Leave me alone.

I ignored him after that.
"I can't believe that Garroth did that for me." I spoke aloud. "It's so sweet. Possibly the sweetest thing anyone had ever done for me." I sighed. "Am I falling for this boy already?"
