Lupa's POV

Hugs.

I cherished it all my life. It was a rare action to get one of pure love. At least for me anyways... I look around my school and saw all the couples or people who hug others out of pure love, comfort or friendship. I wonder when am I ever going to get one.

"HEY, LUPA!" Ah my BFF, Nikki, yelled.

"Haha, hey Nikita!" I reply with a genuine smile.

"So is there a test or something in ELA?"

"Dunno..I-"

I was cut off by a hug. I knew that hug like it was the back of my hand. Hugs, you could tell how a person felt just by a hug. And this person felt broken. This hug was for pure comfort. If only she knew I need one too...

"Hey Tomato!"

"HEY! So what you doing?"

"Meh, just standing and talking about ELA..."

"Ok!"

As we walked around school waiting for school to start, I saw two of my friends, both hugging their boyfriends.

"YO LOVEBIRDS!! YOU KNOW WE ARE SINGLE PRINGLES RIGHT?" I yelled at them.

They jumped about like 5 feet away from each other. Me, KitKat and Tomato laughed.

"Hehe..." Annie and Piper, my other best friends, replied. Just then the bell rang, such luck.

"If you are going on a date, I'll chaperone! Now onward you four!" I said dramatically pointing in front of us.

They blushed, smacked my arm then walked off with their boyfriends. The BFs hand on their shoulders as they laughed.

I looked at them, laughing together while hugging. The hug was out of pure affection. So many people getting hugs, but thinking it was worth nothing. Thinking you could get it for free. I may have a family who cares, but does anyone else? I shake my head, getting rid of these depressing thoughts, and ready to take on the day. Maybe one day I'll get the hug I want, the one out of pure love and affection, with comfort and protection...

AN: HEY!! I know this is gonna be A LOT of depressing chapters but I thought I would put this out there for people to see that they aren't the only ones feeling this. Or to let people know that there are hints that can help us all. This chapter included Lupa as the narrator and some of my OCs. These were some of the thoughts I have always had for about 3 years. I wanted to get it out of me so I thought writing it out would help. ENJOY!!!
