Chapter Five

Allison looked angrily at her mirror. Every time she saw the mirror, her self-esteem sort of dropped. She was now thirteen years old, and puberty was taking its tool on her natural good looks. Her once silky, wavy light brown hair was now very flat and stringy with plenty of split ends. Her beautiful golden skin was still tan, but her face now had a pimple or two at all times. She wore braces on her teeth. And worst of all, Allison was the skinniest and most under developed girl in her class. Tears filled her eyes as she remembered the evening. It started out nice enough, She went over to Jason's house so the could see a movie. "You look nice," Jason said when he opened the door. Allison smiled softly. Jason's eye didn't quite meet her's when he said that, and his tone was flat. "Thanks," Allison said when she walked in. They stared at each other for a moment. *Please kiss me* Allison thought to herself. It was as if he heard her, his lips softly brushed against her cheek.

Allison would preferred that he kissed her lips so that she could kiss him back, but a cheek kiss was better than none at all. "Well," said Jason, "Let's go." They had plans to go to see a movie, and than go out for ice cream. He took her hand and they headed to the cinema. It was a nice night for a walk, but Allison was not having much fun. Jason barely even talked to her, unless she said something first. By the time they got to the cinema, a lot of kids from both of their school's were there. Allison saw Amy and Becka with a few other girls in line to buy popcorn. She waved to them and they waved back. Allison sighed, she hardly ever hung out with Amy or Becka anymore. Those two were still best friends, and both of them had a lot of other friends now. Allison could probably count all of her friends in less than fifteen seconds. There was Amy and Becka, of course, than there were a few other kids from her school, Meredith, Kelly, Andy, Keith, Jack, Lacey, and Dan. But her only other friends after that were Jason and Dudley she talked to some of Jason's friends online and at parties, but they weren't really her friends. Jason went over to talk to some of his friends that he saw, without even saying anything to Allison. He just dropped her hand and walked away. Allison felt her mouth fall open. Jason had been acting sort of distant for awhile, but he had never been so rude. "Hi Alli," said a voice from behind. Allison whirled around and saw Becka. She smiled tentatively, "Hi," she whispered. "We haven't done anything in so long," Becka said sadly, "why have you been avoiding me and Amy?" Becka's question shocked Allison. She thought that it was the other way around. "I never meant to," Allison insisted, "I guess I haven't really been with it lately, you know? I mean, my parents have been fighting more and more lately, and Jason has been acting like he doesn't like me any more. And. and I can't stop thinking about Harry." Allison immediately felt like kicking herself. How could she have just completely spilled out all of her most private thoughts? The ones she had been keeping bottled inside for so long. On the other hand, it felt good to get it off of her chest. Becka's eyes widened, "Harry POTTER?" she gasped. Allison nodded, "I don't know why. I know that most people don't even remember him. but I never could forget him." Becka nodded sympathetically. "I remember you saying that you liked him awhile ago.Hey, why don't you come and sit with us?" she said enthusiastically, "Everyone's going out for ice cream after the movie, than sleeping over at my house!" Allison shook her head, "I'm here with Jason. And then *we* are going out for ice cream, so maybe I'll see you at the ice crème parlor." "Okay," Becka replied sadly, "maybe next time." Her tone implied that there probably wasn't going to be a next time. Though neither one of them wanted to admit it out loud, they had drifted apart to a point of no return. "Yeah," Allison echoed, "next time." "Well," said, Becka, "I'll see you later," Alli nodded, "bye,"

Allison watched Becka rejoin her friends. Amy smiled once Becka got there. They whispered quietly to each other for a few moments, than both of them turned to wave to Allison as the whole group walked away. Allison scanned the crowd for signs of Jason. When she finally spotted him, she noticed that he was still in the same group of friends as earlier. A very pretty girl, whom Allison recognized as Jessie Avarado, who went to Stonewall, was practically hanging on Jason. And Jason didn't seem to mind. *It's okay* Allison thought to herself, *they're just friends. Friends do that sort of thing* Than, all of the sudden, Jason and his friends walked towards the ticket man. Jessie grabbed Jason's arm and they all headed to see the movie. Allison suddenly felt a burning sensation in her eyes, and she ran to the bathroom. Tears raced down her cheeks. So did some mascara and eyeliner. She rummaged through her purse for some tissues. She couldn't find any, but she knew that she packed some. Her purse was SUCH a mess! Allison knew that she should have cleaned it out months ago. At the very bottom of the purse, Allison felt a piece of paper. She grabbed it and hoped that it wasn't dirty. But what was on the paper made her cry even harder. It was a picture of her and Dudley when they were about five years old. Both of them were smiling broadly at the camera, and to the right of them was Harry. Harry wasn't smiling. He wasn't even looking at them. He was looking strait ahead with a sad expression on his face. Allison ripped the picture up and locked herself in one of the stalls. She cried and cried until her head pounded with a headache and she felt like she was going to throw up. Than, when she thought that she was completely cried out, she began to cry harder than ever. "Oh, Harry," she whispered, "Come back!"
