I sat in my that I was sure was visible to everyone yet as everyone walked past they didn't

even glance in my direction and I got to thinking *Am I that unnoticed that unwanted*My

thoughts continued *Maybe they wouldn't care if I died. I could probably go home and kill

myself and no one here would care* The bell that ended lunch rang and I headed to fifth period.

I sat there in math completely unaware of what I was doing then the bell rang and I head to Jazz

Band.

I get there and start warming up Then when we're done Schuler says

"Take out 'In The Mood'" So we play through that and then "Autumn Twilight" and a few

others. Schuler then talks about the trip to Disneyland then ,after the bell rings, we go home. I

head to my waiting spot when Someone calls my name

"John"I don't turn around because I think I'm hearing things. Then I hear someone

running up and I stop and turn around then get ready for the tackle but the person turns out to be

Jasmine and She slows down, stops, and asks

"Didn't you hear me call you?"

"No I didn't sorry."

"I noticed you were sitting by yourself at lunch today." She said knowingly. *Wow

somebody noticed me* I thought somewhat happier especially since it was Jasmine who noticed.

"What happened to your friends?" That brought me back to my private hell. I open my

backpack and pull out the morning newspaper. The headline read in bold letters

"HUGE car crash 9 teens dead 1 injured"

I roll it up and put it away.

"That's what happened." I said trying to keep calm.

"Ow that sucks" she said as we started walking towards my spot.

"Yep and now I have a huge hole in my side."

"Really?" she asks unenthusiastically

"Yea wanna see?"

"Uh Sure" She answers not certain if she really wants to. We stop on my spot and I lift

my shirt and she sees the bandages that cover the hole.

"Does it ever bother you?" She asks as we sit down in my spot.

"Sometimes" We talk for a few minutes and then my car shows up and we say goodbye

and then my dad drives off.

A few weeks later

I'm sitting in first period when a new girl walks in. *She looks beautiful and very familiar.* I

thought as she walked up to Schuler. He tells her to sit next to me(why I don't know).

"Ok today is a short day as you all know so take a pick Finding Nemo, Pirates of the

Caribbean, The Grinch or Happy Gilmore."

"PIRATES!" We all yell then we all move our seats and the new girl and I sit in back.

"Hi what's your name?"I ask

"My name is Lyn what's yours." she answered.

"Lyndis?" I asked shocked

"Yea that's my full name how did you know?" she asked

"Because I was and still am your faithful tactician and boyfriend remember"

"Of course I do silly I was just making sure you did because you had plenty of time to get

with some other girl and forget about me."

"And how could I do that?"

"I don't know cuz I'm not you."

"I won't deny that I looked though."

"That's okay because I did to."

"So what did you do while you were still in Caelin Lyn?"

"Well I mainly spent time with my Grandpa but I also went horseback riding and

occasionally I sparred with Kent and Sain." she responded. "But then chaos broke loose and we

moved here to avoid anything happening to us."

"Ahh...*pause* Wait you MOVED here?"

"Yep and I think we are next door neighbors."

"No way" I responded

"Yea."

"Hey can I...?
