'I've always been an outsider. I've never really fit in, I don't know why, I've just never been excepted. You get used to it after a while and trust withers away. That's the trouble with me I've always trusted too easily.' Ed/OC
Prologue: Not in Kansas anymore
"Emmalyn come down for dinner"
My name's Emmalyn, I've always loved and hated my name at the same time. I love the sound of it but it's really old fashioned and lots of people tease me because of it. Maybe that's why I've always been an outcast. I'm 13 years old, but sometimes I feel more mature than anyone else my age.
"I'm coming mum"
Although I've been an outsider I have two close friends, oh, I mean I had two close friends. You see we've always been friends ever since we were little. We grew up together, I wasn't as close to them as they were to each other, but we never really had friendship troubles. That was until today. I had come back from a two week break and for that whole time I'd been on a family holiday, I couldn't wait to go back to my friends. I was so excited to get to school but when I got there I saw something that made my heart ache. My friends weren't in our spot where we always met. They were over with the cool kids. You see, being an outcast has its perks, no need to fight over friends for projects and no friendship drama. But it also has its downsides, like the mean Layla who always seems to pick on me for some unknown reason.
I started walking down the hall to the staircase still silently hurting from earlier today
When I went over to talk to my friends, Kayley and Margie, and asked them why they weren't waiting for me I got the shock of a lifetime. "Hey Layla" Kayley had said "Did you hear the thing about Emmalyn?" "No but I'm sure you'll tell me" Layla replied. "Well she thinks shes a total loner, which she is, and also, she's an orphan" Margie said. "What? But she has a family" Layla had said surprised. "Yeah, she was adopted and the only reason her family's keeping her is out of pity" Kayley finished. After that I didn't bother to listen anymore. I ran off in tears. I hadn't told anyone about that except Kayley and Margie, I thought I could trust them.
I could hear their laughter ringing in my ears all day. The worst thing is that I was taking their words to heart, maybe my family was only keeping me out of pity. I made sure to stay away from them for the rest of the day, whenever they came close I knew they were talking about me. Right then I told myself 'I will never trust anyone again.'
While I was heading towards the stairs I heard a voice in my head. "Don't worry Emmalyn, You'll have friends soon, just remember to be a friend, loyal and true." The voice was kind and comforting. I wish I could meet the person who said it. The voice made me feel safe; like I could trust someone again.
I mustn't have been paying attention to where I was going because the next thing I knew I was falling. And when I landed I wasn't at the bottom of the stairs. I couldn't help thinking to myself 'Toto I don't think we're in Kansas anymore'. Then everything went black.
So I hope this is good. I'm still writing this story so I might not be able to update it often.
