I never had friends. Apart from my late elder sister, and my brothers. Ever since I can remember, I had none. It looked fun, though, having friends. Kids never took a second glance on me.

Submitted to Contest #91

There was a commotion. The librarian, a little too known in this institution, was at it again. Though this time, nobody would deny her of doing her job. With her general plumpness, and giant-like height, she towered over the suspects, bellowing in her loud high-pitched voice, waving her hands in animated gestures like she was conducting an orchestra. I couldn't hear her clearly now, but I remember, though I want to erase it from my memory, I remember what that eardrum piercing voice is like. A high school couple was having a heated argum...
