• There was a girl named Viola, she was alone in life exept for her friend Niki and the boy that sits next to her in math Alex. Alex was the first boy that she felt at easy with, his presence alone made her giddy with joy. for a month he sat next to her, he asked for a hug on one of thoughs days she said no because deep inside she was scared and didnt know what to do. she was lost and blind in a vast wilderness trying to navagate to her goal. one day alex didnt sit next to her, he sat with another girl. he talked to that girl just the way he had talked to viola. she thought she was special, she thought she ment something to a guy for once in her life. for once she felt as if she was whole like something had villed the void in her heart. she figured maby he just wanted to talk to her like a friend and he would be back tomaro. but tomaro came, and he sat next to that girl again. days passed she began to think "why did he leave?" she thought maby i have too many pimples? so after school she went home and put on makeup, and wore it to school. he still didnt notis her, she thought "maby he doesnt like the way i look?" the next day she stuffed her bra and wore a lower shirt. he still didnt see her, and that day she sat there stumped and confused untill she thought "maby im just too fat and ugly?" so that day she didnt order lunch, at home she refused to eat a snack, at dinner she said she didnt feel well and went to bed early. this went on and on and on, but Alex still didnt see her. as she was walking to her class one day niki was walking alongside her and said "wow, you look really good." viola smiled ear to ear. and that day alex said hi to her, she felt beautiful and whole for that split second. but the next day nobody complemented her, and as she watched longingly as alex went to sit next to the other girl. she got up and he stepped closer and asked her for a hug, and the other girl hugged him. at that moment viola's heart snapped. the whole day she fought the tears back with pure will, her heart throbbed painfuly with each beat. and when she got home she stood in the miror, looking at herself. all she could think of was how fat and ugly she was, she thought "Come on! i weighed 130 pounds! i weigh 90 pounds now! why wont he even look at me!" in rage she blindly picked up a pair of scisors and ran the blade back and forth accross her wrist. it wasnt untill she looked down she felt the stinging pain, she screamed at the sight of her blood dripping to the floor. she grabbed a towl and wrapped it around her arm as tightly as she could and after the pain faded away she began to feal almost happy. she felt alive and good for the first time since she met alex. months passed with the same thing happening every day. but one perfect summer day she arived at school and the day went on normaly untill math. she sat there in class, deap in thought and her arm iched from the fresh scars and without thinking she pulled up her sleeve and scratched it. Alex had glanced over and a look of supressed alarm swept accross his face as she pulled down her sleeve. that day went on normaly untill she walked outside and began to walk twords her bus. she heard alex yell "Viola!" she spun on her heal so happy to hear him called her name and he called again "Viola come here!" she worked her way through the crowd to him and when she got to him he said "follow me" and she did he lead her to the office. were she saw her parents standing there crying and the counciler with a look of suprise and saddness on her face. they talked for hours about what they should do about violas actions untill they came to the conclusion that she would be sent to an anirexia rehabilitation center. as everybody filed out of the room alex stopped her and waited untill everyone left and said "Viola, if i would have known how much i meant to you i....im so sorry..." violas heart soared, and for the first time in a long time she felt whole again, she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him and when she finaly let go he said "for all it meens now...Viola...i love you."
