Killing Loneliness, chapter 1
Scarlett walked through the school corridor.
"Move it slow ass!" mocked her sister, Katie. Recently her best friend Mia had abandoned her for a boy, Jamie.
He hated her and said that they couldn't be friends if they were going to go out. Now
Scarlett had no friends and even her sister Katie always gave her bad remarks and bitched about her
behind her back with her group of friends. They were tarts, all of them. All in tiny mini-skirts,
and tight blouses and each of them all wore the biggest bras they could to try and look
"sexy" even though they were all only 13 but already obssessed with guys and appearance.
She was 17, but even the youngest 13 and 14 year olds could make her feel like crap.
Scarlett cotinued down the corridor to her Biology lesson. He heart began to do somersaults.
One of the guys in the final grade walked past her. She didn't know anything about him.
Not even his name, apart from that he was in a band. That was all. But even though she tried
not to think about it, she really liked him. He had soft blue eyes and blonde hair. He
usually wore sleevless tops which showed of his arms which had some biceps on them.
***Mike's P.O.V***
Mike was just drifting down the corridor on his way to the music room with all his mates.
As he was going he spotted the 12th grade girl making her way down the corridor. He
wouldn't admit it but he seemed to like that girl. Alot. He knew that she was a real loner and
was not gonna get involved with her unless he wanted to be one too. He wasn't harsh
but if you were picked on in this High School, it was more than a joke.
The bell rang, finally it was the end of the day. Scarlett huried out of school before
anyone else could give her more hassle. It was pissing her off big time. She had no one
to turn to anyway. The teachers never really payed much attention to her even though
she was more than sure that they new what was going on but they obviously didn't give a damn.
Her parents weren't much use either. They had one-track minds, her getting a good career.
Scarlett was a student who usually got C's and D's sometimes
B's in her stronger subjects. She used to get A's reguarly but since last year when she lost
all her friends her grades had dropped.
Katie on the other hand, was still gettin all her A's and still wasn't being teased for
being a brain box. Scarlett's parents still seemed to think it was her fault that everything
had gone wrong for her recently. Life was hell at the moment. It didn't look like things
were gonna get better either. She had no friends, people constantly got in her way, her
sister was a bitchy cow, her parents were constantly nagging her to do better and she was in
love with a guy who hated her. Or so she thought.

"Katie, Scarlett, dinner!!!" her Mom called from the kitchen.
"Yes Mom," Katie called back.
"Coming," sighed Scarlett.
They all sat round the table just munching at some toast.
"So then," he Dad began "how was school today girls?"
"Guess what Dad!" Katie began excitedly "I came top in my English assessment today!"
"Brilliant Katie, and make sure you stay top too," he said in a jokey way, but he definately meant it.
Katie smiled and turned her head towards Scarlett with one of thoses ha ha grins.
"What about you Scarlett, how did you do in your Maths exam?" questioned her Mom. Scatlett sighed. They
were not going to be impressed.
"Um, Mrs. Jameson gave me a C but she said I'm improving," she said hoping her parents
would except that.
"Oh for goodness sake!" Her Dad yelled "If you had improved then you wouldn't have got
a C!!! This is ridiculous. You used to be like your sister!! Coming top of the class in
nearly everything!! If you want a decent career then you've got to get good grades!! Carry on
like this you'll end up being a hooker!!!"
He droned on and on.
"You're not even listening to me you stupid girl!! Go to your room now and STUDY!!!!!" he
bellowed.
Slowly she trudged up to her room. She hated life. Slowly tears began to dribble down
her cheeks. She lay down on to her bed and thought of how things used to be.

"Come on Scarlz, lets go!"called Mia giggling. It was a Firday night and the two girls
were both in the mood for just a complete doss.They ran through the shopping mall.
They spent the whole evening messing around. Squirting each other with coke. Discussing which pair of
converse shoes they liked the best and making up mad outfits.
"Look at me, 100% punk!" Scarlett giggled in a stupid cheesy way.
After piddling around in the mall for hours they plodded their way back home, in laughter,
even telling jokes that weren't even funny.
Eventually they arrived back at Mia's house. Mia opened the door and they both walked inside.
"Hi sweetie, oh hello Scarlett."
"Oh hi Andy." Scarlett had known Mia since she was 6 and therefore new her Mom as if she
was her Aunt.
"Are you two hungry?" said Andy "because if you are I can get you something."
"Oh cool well you can make us something up if you don't mind," said Mia "we're not
bothered what."
The two made their way upstairs to Mia's bedroom.
"So, you wanna watch a movie or something?"
"Sure"
After checking through her selection of vidoes, Mia slotted a James Bond movie in the
recorder. Neither of them were really that into James Bond but for some reason they felt
like watching it.
Andy soon came up with some pizzas for the two of them as well as a whole bottle of coke.
Mia and Scarlett sat on the bed and munched away whilst completely messing around.
"You gonna stay the night Scarlz?" Mia asked her.
"Um I dunno, I better phone my Mom first." She replied. Mia handed her the phone and
Scarlett typed in her house number.
"High Mom it's me, is it OK if I stay at Mia's tonight?"
The fun carried on all night. Mia even began squirting Scarlett with her Dad's shaving foam.
They were being totally childish but it was fun.
"OK see you on Monday, thanks Andy," she called as she was leaving the house.
"Oh bye Scarlett, see you sometime!" she said back.
Later that evening, Scarlett logged onto her computer. She sent Mia an email. It was just to say hi and
wasn't last night fun.
As she was doing some homework she received an email:
Whatever Scarlett, stop wasting my time.
She decided to email her back.
OK what's up with you?
Another one came back a few minutes later.
OK just piss off Scarlett.
Again she replied:
Is this some kind of joke?
No reply came. "OK, what the hell is up with her." Scarlett thought.
The next day at school, Scarlett spotted Mia in the school yard.
"Hey Mia what was up with you last night?"
"Fuck off you bitch!"
"Mia what is going on?" Scarlett asked desperately. She was totally confused.
"Look I'm going out with Jamie Marshall now and as long as I'm with him, I am not going
anywhere near you. Now could you do what I said and FUCK OFF!!"
Scarlett trailed to the other side of the yard. Where had all this come from. She knew
Mia well and she could tell this was no joke. They were best friends, and she chose him
over her!! Slowly tears began to prick in her eyes, but she managed to hold them back.
Since then, everyone had turned against her.
"Move it slow ass!" mocked her sister, Katie. Recently her best friend Mia had abandoned her for a boy, Jamie.
