~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~=flashback A short eleven-year-old girl ran down the wet sidewalk, almost slipping as she ran. 'Why don't they just leave me alone?',she thought."Come back here, I'm not done with you!",Cindy, the bully,and her friend, Patty, yelled after her.

When she finally reached her house, she opened the door and ran in as quickly as she threw her backpack and lunchbox down and walked into the kitchen, to find her brother, Phillip, tapping his fingers on the counter, looking very worried.

"Where were you?!What happened?!"

He saw the pain and sadness in her eyes, and knew immediately what happened.

Instead of coming and comforting her, like she was thinking that he would do, he simply walked past her and went towards the window leading to the front yard.

The two rotten girls were, sure enough, pacing back and forth, waiting for the girl to out of her home.

When Phillip opened the door, the two girls thought it was Alice, so they rushed towards the they saw it was Phillip, they started running.

Alice was watching all of this happen thru the she saw them running away, her stomach people would be happy that their bullies were gone, but she knew what was going to happen when she went back to school-they were going to bully her even harder.

She was so scared. Wanted to run away. She wanted to be in her mother's arms. She missed her mother so much. Her mother died in a car crash. Alice wished she hadn't.

She then slowly walked towards the bathroom, for she knew that there had to be some dirt on her face. She looked into the mirror to see, as she predicted, there was dirt mixed with tears all over her face She took an old, green rag and dampened it a bit and washed her face.

Her brother walked towards her as she began to walk down the hall.

"It's okay now", he said as he began to trap her in a bear hug.

When she escaped from her bear hug she slowly walked into her room. She then threw herself onto her bed then slowly drifted off into a deep sleep...
