Lonelieness

Molly had been looking forward to that day for quite some time. She was bringing her new friend, Kayla, into school for. She had spent the last three weeks telling everyone at school how cool Kayla was, how funny Kayla was, how smart Kayla was. She hadn’t said it out loud, but she had been thinking to herself that Kayla was everything she wanted in a friend. She had been thinking that she was tired of her bland, practically feral, stoner school friends and Kayla was exactly the remedy to that. Finally she took the bus into school with Kayla, got out with Kayla and tried to introduce all of them to Kayla. They all seemed to turn the cold shoulder to Kayla. It was almost like they couldn’t see her at all.
