Lost Girl

Short narrative about a lost girl

They had taunted her from the minute she walked into school. 

From the time they saw the girl, they knew something was strange about her. it was like an animal instinct that told them she wasn't like them. They, the kids, would watch her as she quietly took out her books for class and start to work. 

When spoken to, she'd reply humorously. 

That was the thing that had surprised everyone. But even though she was friendly to everyone, they still disliked her. Boys sneered at her, huffed in exasperation when she came near, girls would eye her, look her up and down, give her attitude. But it wasn't as if the whole class hated her. She had her friends. She loved being with them. 

But soon the taunts were getting to her. 

The words had repeated themselves in her mind, endless echoes that droned on and and on. She wanted to look to her friends for support, but she began to lose faith in them. Would they be able to confide in her as she did them? 

The girl reached a conclusion; she was alone. 

And no one, not anyone could ever change her mind. 

No one could pull her out of the dark.

Oh dear! Sad but true - still such things happen in this world!
It reminds me of a girl back in my primary school days, who never used to talk to anyone, just sit in one corner seat of the class.

People just love to tease, I don't know why! But that does not mean that the lonely girl should let herself loose into the dark! The world is not one bunch of people - It is much much more and better than that!

Oh... what a powerful piece. I think we can all relate to the subject matter. What you did here is beautiful, turning hate into art. Art is resistance... Art is how we stand up. Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed this one a lot! Cheers!
