Chapter 4 - cornered

fast foward a few months since I moved here. I'm 17 turning 18 in the summer (June 6th) so that means if my parents decide to move again I wont have to keep leaving since I'm going to be an adult. I only have two classes with Michael which is 1st period and p.e for 6th so the only other time I get to see him is lunch. at first me and him werent that close until I got bullied once again, it wasnt the cant find no where to sit in lunch but being talked about why I was the only colored person in the school. he didnt come as soon as I started getting bullied cause he was laughing until he heard them talking about me it wasn't hard to find out who they were talking about since I was the only colored in the school. keep in mind this happened in the hallway during lunch. Michael was going to the bathroom while I was cornered by the water fountain. he didn't go all crazy he just told them to shut up and mind there business. after that iincident he asked me if I was okay and comforted me. I didn't need all that because I was used to getting bullied but not used to getting affection from anybody, not even my parents. I kinda liked how I was feeling and just accepted it cause I felt better. I knew i needed someone like him in my life so I decided to keep him close.
