On a peaceful day in Orange County there was a girl named Vanessa. She was that one girl who was always alone, barely any friends and only a mom left. She always had an aura of depression and death around her. She has seen death one to many times for her liking. She was always getting bullied by this girl. Becca. Vanessa has a fear that know one really knows about until fate decided to have a turn...

Steven was having a great day he had 100% shooting in his basketball game. He always was the popular kid in school with the most popular athletic apparel. He has red hair, is very tall, and he is 14. He has bright green eyes and huge feet. He never gets bad grades, he sounds like a perfect kid, almost. His best friend is a bully, Becca. Everyone thought Steven and Becca were going to go out, and be the best couple ever. Becca always thought they would. She loved Steven, but Steven didn’t love her the way she loved him.

Becca was a bully at heart. She always picked a victim, and it just always seemed to be Vanessa. This time she was going to go far and beyond any other prank or little tease she had ever done. This time she would need Steven to do it with her, the perfect duo for a “crime”...or so she thought.

Steven was walking down the street and saw Becca standing there

“Hey Becca” he said
“Hi”, She replied trying to sound calm. On the inside, she was overly joyed that Steven had spoke to her first.
She really liked him. Too much it seemed. She was always too protective over him. Like he was HER property.
“Walk with me?” They were almost to the school. Only half a block.
“Sure, why not?” She tried to sound like she couldn’t care either way. She hoped it had worked.
“Lets go”, He said plainly.
They walked an...

...when they had finished, she went back to school.
Steven had started dating Vanessa that one day after he talked to Becca. It has been 3 months since then. Steven had told the office about Vanessa’s locker, and they cleaned it out completely, free of anything gross.
Becca’s eyes burned with fury at the sight of Steven and Vanessa walking hand in hand into the school. But it’s OK, she thought. I have another present. But what Becca didn't know, was Vanessa was completely fine being around the nasty vermins.
Becca tried time and time again to scare Vanessa, make her feel like nothing. But Steven was always there to pick her up. And after a while, Becca backed off and left them alone. To themselves.
Steven ended up dating vanessa for a long time. And now she is a happy cheerful girl and she never had to fear a parasite again. She was over that now. Now she had Steven.

    ...en he was at her house, and who Arnold Friend truly was. Some people believe that Arnold Friend is a predator seeking out a new victim, but I think that in some strange way Arnold becomes Connie way to escape into her fantasy world. When she learns his true intentions she is scared to death at first but eventually that fear gives way when entering his car. Connie may think that she’s not going to see her mother again or sleep in her bed again, but at the same time she’s going to escape from her old life. Maybe she has made her decision at that moment; Connie no longer resists Arnold after that moment and does everything he says to do.
