Fiction Friendship

Once there were two siblings from an orphanage, but they were not normal kids.

They had powers. They don't feel any pain in their hands. As they got older, they learned that they should keep their powers a secret. Then, a really nice couple came and said they wanted to adopt two kids, and they picked Daisy and Mathew. Daisy and Mathew were so happy that they finally had a real home. But soon the couple started to get meaner, and meaner. Before, they were really kind and made the kids feel welcome, but nowadays, the parents screamed at Daisy for accidentally breaking a plate and hit Mathew on the hand when he stood up for her. Of course, he didn't feel anything.


When Daisy and Mathew went to school they had a bully on the first day of school they found a girl that was named Moron. Well... She was really popular, and on the first day, she hit Mathew and Daisy on the hand for what seemed no reason at all. But they didn't flinch. She did that multiple times, but they still did not flinch. She got really mad and started following them the whole day. She overheard them laughing about their powers and the worst part was she recorded it. The next day, the whole school was talking about them. Their powers had turned into a curse.


Daisy and Mathew were miserable! They couldn't take it anymore, so one time at music class, the teacher announced that whoever was the best student would get a free trip to London. Daisy and Mathew knew this was their chance to get away from everything and everyone, so they worked hard. Mathew and Daisy didn't get it. But Guess who did? Moron grinned at them, "You got what you deserved."


Daisy got mad and said, "No wonder your parents named you Moron." Moron slapped Daisy across her face and they fought until Mathew pulled them apart.

"Leave us alone, Moron," said Mathew, but Daisy and Mathew were secretly happy now Moron won't bother them anymore because she is going to Londen in a few days.


Still, they had more problems to worry about. When they were leaving, Moron whispered in Daisy's ear. She said, "Well at least I am not dumb, Daisy. You were not good enough to get the free trip." Daisy screamed and tried to attack Moron but Mathew said, "Don't Daisy, it's not worth it."


Mathew wondered why Moron always hated Daisy more than him. They, almost acted like they knew each other. So he tried to remember if he had met Moron before but he couldn't remember meeting her at all. "Well, I must be overthinking it." So he went to bed, but what he didn't know was that Daisy was hiding something from him something BIG.


But the next day, he asked Daisy if she was hiding something from him. She seemed hesitant and quickly changed the topic, but Mathew didn't let it go, so he kept asking her and she kept denying it. That got Mathew more suspicious, so one day he yelled at Daisy and asked her what she was hiding. She seemed shocked :O but she still did not answer. So he asked Daisy one more time, Daisy burst into tears and it hit Mathew. She was lying to him. She said, "I'm so sorry. I lied to you. Mathew, you are my only friend, please." She looked at him in guilt. Mathew didn't want to believe her but deep down he knew that she was lying he did not say anything and just walked away, leaving Daisy in despair.


Mathew ignored her and it bothered Daisy a lot. But Moron, who still hasn't left for Londen, was happy seeing Daisy so sad. Because she had heard Daisy and Mathew talking last night. Mathew didn't want to show it, but he was really curious about what Daisy had lied about. He knew that it had something to do about Daisy and Moron knowing each other, so the next day, he asked Daisy to tell him what she had lied about.


She seemed hesitant but she told him. "Me and moron we were best friends a long time ago." she started.

"WHAT!? What do you mean, BEST FRIENDS? How did I not know her?"

"You remember when we were kids and there was this girl that we used to hang out with?" She said. "Well, that was Moron"

"Really? But why did she become so mean?

"I will explain more later. There are people here, they will hear us." This was too much for Mathews's brain. They went to the school playground and sat down on the swings.

"Well, can you explain how?"

She turned mean because . . . well, ok. She was mean because I did something to her-"

"Yeah, she did something to me. Do you wanna know what she did, Mathew?"

"Be quiet, Moron" said Daisy.

"No. One time, when everyone was asleep Daisy asked if I wanted to go spray paint on the orphanage wall with her. I said no and she begged me. I agreed but when we were doing it, we got caught by one of the meanest teachers. When Daisy was asked who's idea it was, she said it was mine. I didn't know what she said, because she was in the office and when I got called in, I thought she said it was her idea to spray paint the walls so I said it was my idea too so she wouldn't have to take all the blame. But the teacher hit me on the hand and suspended me for two weeks. I could never forget that day and-"

"Oh please. We were kids for god's sake." Started Daisy. Mathew slowly walked away in shock.

"Mathew wait! What is wrong with you Moron!?"

"Me?! What's wrong with you? It's not my fault you didn't tell him earlier."

"Look, I wanted to be friends but you kept fighting with me."

"Yeah, because you were too annoying."

"Can we try to be friends for Mathew's sake?"

"Fine."

"Look, Moron. I'm sorry for saying 'No wonder your parents named you moron' It's a unique name. "

"Thanks and I'm sorry for saying you're dumb, you're really smart."

"Thanks. Now let's go find Matthew. "But when they went to look for Mathew in his schoolroom, he was gone.

They looked for him all over the school but he was not there. They started to worry.


2 HOURS LATER


"We've been walking for almost 2 hours, where's Mathew?" said Moron.

"I don't know." groaned Daisy.

"Well, does he have a place he usually goes to or somewhere he likes? asked Moron, frustrated.

"Oh yeah! He likes to go to the back of the school.

"Why did you not tell me earlier?! Let's go!"


Mathew where are you?? It's almost night time and the school is freaking me out, said Moron.

(rustle)

"What was that!?" yelled Moron.

"Shhh! We need to be quiet. The janitors are cleaning the school, so they might hear us. And you know we're not allowed to be inside the school after hours."

"Speaking of janitors, there's one that's so mean she hits you for absolutely no reason."

"We should really focus on finding Mathew. I want to go home, Moron."

"Stop being a scaredy cat! Come out MATHEW!" screamed Moron.


"What?! Oh my god, Mathew! We've been looking for you for hours!" said Daisy "I-" "Sorry to interrupt, but the janitor is coming so we better run or we get suspended. Run! Go!"

"What about you?" asked Daisy.

"I'll take the blame, again. Now GO!"

"Wait-"

"Come on Daisy!" yelled Mathew, and she and Mathew ran as fast as they could and escaped, just in time.

"Hello, teacher," muttered Moron.

Young lady, you are going to be expelled for staying on the school grounds after hours." Yelled the mean teacher. "Now go!"

"But-"

"No buts, go home now! I'm watching you!"

Daisy was so sad that Moron was expelled and she didn't see or hear from her for a really long time.

2 years later

"Moron is that you?!" Exclaimed Daisy. "Oh my god, Moron! It's been two years since we saw each other!"

"Yes omg!! Where's Mathew?"

"Oh Mathew, he's right there. Mathew come over here!"

"What? Oh wow! Hi Moron!
