Friendship or Love by Skyla Spaulding (best ereader under 100 .txt) 📕

Charley is a 17 year old boy in the 11 grade. Charley goes to Canister High School in Bankervill, NJ. It is his first day back at the school today. Charley when to the office to get his planner, when he was in there he saw his best friend and he asked one of the ladys in the cafeteria how she was doing and she said,” She not doing good charley, he mom just died and her dad wont look at her.” Charley stood there for awhile then he finally manned up and went to say hi, but when he got there she left.

Charley was mad, so he grabbed his planner and went to his first hour class. When he got there he saw that Sally was in his class. Charley went and said hi to everyone and they welcomed him back. He took a seat in the back of the room. Todays lechure is about the human body.

The bell rings. I grab my stuff and head to the gym for P.E. Today I have to play dodge ball. It was fun until I got hit in the head with a ball. I get to go eat lunch next. I think they said it was roast beef sandwiches or pizza today. I grabed a roast beef sandwich and went to find a place at a table. I looked around and around until I found a table in the back of the lunch room. I took my chance. When I was eating there was like 20 people staring at me cause no one sat at this table, but I don’t care if they stares at me. Hahahah I wonder if there staring at me cause they think i’m hotter than last year. I’m ok with that. I think I might try out for baseball this year there having tryouts today. I looked around; looking for Sally. I saw her 7 tables away from me. She was cute she has died her hair blonde, she has blue eyes, skinny, and she was cheer captain. Whats not to like about her!! She live in my town, shes my best friend. 

*The bell rings*

Lunch is over now I have to go to health class. I hope that sally is in all my classes. That would be so cool. I headed to my next class. When I got there and sat down I saw Sally in the front row..... P.S. I am screaming with joy inside right now. 

Charley wont stop looking at me. I think he likes me even though he’s my friend. I think I should go and say hi. I don’t know what to say. He’s cuter than last year though. Should I just walk up to him...... NO I tell myself I can’t do that. It would be weird. Maybe I can just pass him a note in class. Cindy passed me. (cindy is the queen bee off 10th grade and my friend) “Hey.... Cindy want to walk to class with me?” I asked. “ummm sure.” Said Cindy. Ok lets go. When I got there I say that Charley was in my class. I wrote him a note and I told Cindy to pass it on and she read it and then passed it on I was torked off. I didn’t want anyone but Charley to read it. when he got passed the note I could see him smiling from across the room.

When I got to class and sat down, Sally walked in and took her seat. About 20 minutes into class I got a not that said 

Dear Charley,

Would you be so kind to join me for Ice Cream after school.

Sincerely,

Sally Sandburg

I was screaming with joy inside and I was happy. I checked the yes box and passed it back.

Today I was going to go and get Ice Cream with Charley. I had to go get some money from my purse because he was driving us. I was running out to my car when I saw someone leaning against it. I was shock that someone was there. At first I thought it was Charley waiting for me, but when I got closer I saw that it was someone else. I don’t know who it is so I turned around and started walking to the school again. The I hear a gun shot. I put my hand flew to my stomach and when I brought it back up there was blood. Someone had shot me.

Charley’s POV

I was walking to lunch when I heard a gun shot. I started running in the direction from were I heard it go off. When I got to the parking lot I saw someone one jump in a van and drive off. Teachers and kids were starting to come toward me and the sound. When I got to where the man got in the van I saw Sally laying on the tar and she was bleeding. I got on my phone and dialed the police. When I hung up I started yelling for help. Mr. Sawmoon came running out with a towel. When he got to Sally and I, we heared the sirens of the ambulance. 

I looked around to see if anyone was worried, but they were worried about their History test next period or how they will get home. I listened to their conversations rumors of course. some were tired, but I could see the looks on their faces, some sad. They were not worried about the incident that just took place, but for  themselves. I was frozen. As they lifted her away I dropped to my knees in amazement.  it was clear it. Only I could understand. The reason of this planned scene, why would they? 

Students were all around me, only me. The sirens burst aloud as they took off. The wind was brushing through my hair, One I could not move. Some were terrified, It hand’t even been an hour and rumors had already started. I was too scared to move. No one would know the truth of why happened. I looked away from that one spot, and some were worried. My body was shaking. Most teens don’t have a heart, and the noise of the gun was still ringing in my ear. The tar was cutting into my knees. All teens do is go to school, and we looked at the same spot. I was wishing this was all a dream. 

She was wearing a pink tee shirt and a skirt with flowers on it. I nodded still chewing. My heart is racing as my eyes follow its beat around the room. Yes, and then of course sleep. The girl was crying. She never really wore this kind of outfit once she could dress herself. The place was familiar but at first I wasn’t sure where I was. Sweat dripping down my face. I am remembering how everyone was always so jealous that Sally could go to high school without caring about how she looked. but they were too caught up in it, when I remembered, watching her as she wiped the tears from her gloomy face. my soul. Even the boys wished they could be comfortable at school. I was alone at a table while eating cut up apples. when I saw her. Her hair was in pigtails with a pink barrette holding her bangs.  My best friend, It can’t be true. No, My best friend was just killed. 

I jolt awake, not angry, I can feel my hands shaking in anger. I  know why I woke up this way. The dream started in a courtyard. The dream reminds me of the fun times I had with Sally. I am still staring at my main spot. disbelief. It is actually happy. Even though children were playing all around me, what just happened. Charley… this is Sally. I could not believe it. The person that helped me find my true self. I was at my old preschool. I could hear the children laughing and having fun all around me as
