Friends are like angels, there are always there, even when you don't know it..

She sat there, her face buried in her hands, crying while they laughed at her. She felt mentally worn out. For two weeks they have been doing things to hurt her, both mentally and physically. She couldn't take it anymore.



Stop crying you stupid girl, She thought to herself. Stop showing to them that you are weak. But no matter how hard she tried, tears kept flowing out like a leaking tap which cannot be sealed. The corridor had gotten really crowded. Everyone was watching, most of them were laughing at her because she looked like a fool with all the flour and tomato sauce on her. She didn't know what to do, she couldn't move or say anything because she was too overwhelmed.


Feeling helpless, she did the only thing that she knew, she prayed. She prayed for an angel. An angel that would come and save her.


Suddenly the area in front if her had become darker. Someone was standing right in front of her. Through the gap between her fingers, she saw the person's feet. She looked up slowly to see who it was. A familiar face, She thought. His name.. what was his name? She couldn't remember. Standing there in front of her was the boy whom she had met a few days ago.. He wasn't like the rest. He stood there with a wide grin but unlike the others, he had offered a hand.


"Take my hand," He said. "Let's get out of here." She reached out and he pulled her up and brought her away. Away from the crowd, away from the nightmare.


That evening, she sat in her room at home staring into blank space, still traumatized by the incident at school. Sitting by the window, looking out from her second storey bedroom, she kept replaying the whole horrifying situation in her mind.


"Hey!" Someone shouted. She looked down and saw that a boy was standing there by the roadside. The very same boy who had rescued her from the bullies. "Come down!" He had shouted. "I'm gonna show you something really cool!" She refused at first but he kept insisting. So she reluctantly went downstairs to see what he wanted to show her.


What was it that is so important that he wants to show me? She thought. Maybe it was something small, or maybe it was a chocolate? No it wasn't. He grabbed her hand and pulled her along. She had no choice but to follow.


They turned left, they turned right, they went straight and went uphill. They were in the middle of nowhere. It was getting really creepy and she started to wonder where the boy was bringing her.


When they finally reached the summit of the hill, there was nothing there. She felt pissed and annoyed. "Are you trying to make fun of me or something?" She confronted the boy. The boy then gave that wide grin similar to the one he had given earlier that day. He then pointed at something far behind her.


"Look!" He said excitedly. She turned and saw the crimson red sheet of sky with a bright radiant ball of light that was disappearing into the horizon.. It is beautiful, she thought. And for the first time in many days, she smiled.


Moral of the story: Friends are like angels because they are always there, even when you don't know it..
