Ori and I
We’ve been friends since daycare.There’s footage of us playing together.
We like the same sports teams,
And soda,And weather
We always save seats for each other.
We always team up on the field.
We always stick up for each other.
And teachers, and colors, and sports, and music, and classes, and shows,And A LOT of other things.
We both have scars on our forearms that one time we cut ourselves hopped over Mr. Kirkpatrick’s fence

The Walk Back Home
“So…, Do you want to hang out at my house?”
He stares down at his Nikes.
“Sorry, can’t. Not today.”
We always hang out on Wednesdays, ever since 2nd grade.
“I’m going to a movie with some guys.”
“Who are you going with?”
“Evan Kurtnik and his friends.”

Evan is a BAD Kid(and so are his friends)

Me:“You shouldn’t be friends with Evan.”
Ori:“Why? You think I’m only allowed to be your friend?”
Me:“No, its just that Evan is a bully.”
Ori:“So I can either be friends with you or Evan?”
Me:“No, no. It’s not like that, just-”
Ori: “Will you still be as trusting as a friend if I
hung out with Evan?”
Me:(Lying)”Yes”

Words of Advice“Just ditch him. I’ve gone through all of this when I was your age. Either beat him up or just ditch him.”
Baxter:
Mom:
“Just back off for a bit and let him spend some time with his new friends.”
Dad:“You sound a bit too attached. You are your own person, you know that right? You’re not responsible for him, that’s Ori’s parent’s problem.

Your vision switches on and off.
The Fight
The pain shoots through you and then it dulls. But it takes a while before it leaves.
You taste blood and it doesn’t surprise you. You can sense that there is blood in other places too.

I am Ori’s best friend.
Best friends stick together no matter what.
Ditching him would make me selfish, disloyal, and a bad friend.
But is this just a phase, a few bad moments? Or is it a whole new Ori?
Kills people’s pets. Bullies other students: Physically, Metally, Socially.
Beats up little kids
Doesn’t want to be cool. Wants to be powerful.
The Thought Process

The Phone Call
“Hey Dez? Yeah, look. I’m sorry about the fight, maybe you can hang out with us next week or something, if Evan thinks its cool, okay?
***CALL ENDED***
