Finding a friend
By: Beylan Wimsatt

A small, young Japanese girl named Satsuki went to a large public middle school in Tokyo, Japan. She had short black hair and light blue eyes. She has a slim body and wears a school uniform. She has no friends and was always carrying around some sort of computer technology. She hardly spoke to anyone at home and at school. She hated school since no one liked her. She was constantly made fun of and beat up. After awhile she grew to hate everyone except her self and her computers. She stopped interacting with the teachers and even started to skip school. She locked her self in her room isolating her self from the world. She had no cares for the people or creatures out side her room. She only cared for her computer. Eventually she stopped eating.
Her parents became worried and tried everything to get her to interact with other middle school students. Finally after two months they got her to go back to school and eat. Though they had to buy her a brand new lap top and she used it at school to talk to the teachers and do her work. Satsuki was gradually coming out of her shell. She still didn't talk to other kids, but was gradually working up to it. Her parents did what they could and now Satsuki was doing a bit better.
After a few months Satsuki warmed up to two kids, named Tom and Sakura, not knowing they were using her. After a week of knowing the two kids she had warmed up and started to talk more and interact, but that all ended the next week. Tom and Sakura took Satsuki with them into an ally where their hang out was. They then started to beat her up.

"Give us the lap top and you will survive!" said tom.

Sakura smiled as she punched Satsuki in the gut. Satsuki fell to her knees coughing up blood. Tom took the lap top and laid it in his bag. He then joined his friend Sakura in the joy of beating Satsuki up.

"Someone please help me!" Satsuki screamed out, but unfortunately no one came to her rescue.
After an hour Satsuki laid in a huge puddle of her own blood nearly clinging to her life. She was conscious but barely. She tried calling out again and she kept it up till she had no energy left to stay awake. As she started to lose consciousness a stranger appeared.

"I'm lei," said the stranger, "Don't worry I am going to get you out of this alive." With that the boy took on the two bullies as Satsuki closed her eyes.
Lei managed to make the bullies run leaving Satsuki and her lap top. Lei picked Satsuki's limp body up and packed her to the hospital. After the doctors told him she would be alright he left her side and called her parents. He told them what had happened and then went back to sit next to Satsuki. After a few hours Satsuki awoke to see Lei sleeping in a chair next to her hospital bed. Her parents arrived and were crying. Lei woke up and smiled at Satsuki and to her parents. Satsuki's parents thanked Lei and so did Satsuki. She owed him her live and was grateful that he showed up.
The next week Satsuki was released from the hospital. Lei had stayed by her side the whole time she was there. They had gotten to know each other really well while she was at the hospital, so now they were like family. He had helped her figure out that not all humans where bad and that everyone deserved a good friend. From the very day she learnt that and to this very day, Satsuki and Lei are still close friends and helping each other through the pain and sorrow of life.
