I lay in my bed, ready to go to school an hour before I have to be there. I woke up every hour last night. I can't stop thinking about Hancock and Nami and Arlong. I keep feeling sad about Hancock, wondering weather or not I should tell Nami what I saw, and hating Arlong for what he did to me and Nami.

I think about this for a while before I hear Ace, my brother yell "GET YOUR ASS OUT OF BED BEFORE I DRAG YOU"

We're home alone a lot because our grandpa who takes care of us is out a lot. Ace takes control of a lot of things around the house. He may be a crazy, stupid guy who threatens to kill me, but when it matters he is very responsible.

Thankfully, I know that Nami always gets to school five minutes before the bell rings, so I have a few minutes to think of what I'm going to say to her. Everyone around me is talking, and playing around like always. I enjoy that fact that they don't talk to me because they know I don't want to be bothered. Once Nami pulls up in her light blue vespa I lose my voice. She surveys us. Once she starts walking I walk towards her as well. Once I reach her I lean on closer to her ear and whisper "I saw Arlong making out with Hancock, that's why we broke up."

It hurt me to say that, but it had to be done. I couldn't let her date someone who doesn't truly care about her.

She backs away from me and says, "No. You're lying. He wouldn't...please tell me your lying."

She looks as if she's trying to stop herself from crying. I don't want to see her embarrass herself, or breakdown in front of everyone, so I pull her to the side of the building. Once there's no way anyone can see us, she starts sobbing. She doesn't hug me, acknowledge me, or talk to me. She just stands there with her head in her hands, sobbing. We're both heartbroken. We're both hopeless.
