Anon-A-Miss: Soul of Friendship

I wish I could say I had a good night's sleep, but unfortunatley, that's not the case. At around 1:34 in the morning, I had a headache that kept me from sleeping and no matter which side I turn on, I just can't seem to get comfortable. I sigh and got up from my air bed. Ginger was still asleep at the end of it. I decided a drink of water would help. I grabbed a flashlight and ventured downstairs. Being careful not to wake my family, I slowly tip toed torwards the kitchen intending to grab a bottle water. The floor creeked occasionally. Then a sudden knocking sound was heard and I immediatley reacted by shining a flashlight at where I thought the noise had come from. I had shined it at the living room (or in this case the spot where it's going to be the living room). Nothing was there. I started to breath heavily now. "Who's there?" I said quietly. Being careful not to shout. No response came. My heartbeat thundered in my chest. I was right next to the kitchen and before I even got to the fridge I heard another thing like something had dropped. I nearly jump and shoned my light at one of my little sister's toy dolls. An American Girl Doll. "What the fuck?" I breathed. I got my water out of the fridge and drank it. After I was done I put it in the trashcan. (My family doesn't care what goes in there. Recycle is trash). I walked torwards the doll and picked it up. Okay okay I should never overeact. Maybe Jenna just forgot it here before she went to sleep! Yeah that's it! Then I felt someone watching me again. Just like I had felt when I was in the basement.

"Help me..."

I could've sworn my heart literally stopped beating. I started to laugh nervously. I was begininng to freak out. "Mom, Dad, or Jenna. If this is some kind of prank then it's not funny." There were no response. Who the hell could have said that?
I looked around with my flash light. Just like before no one was there. The rest of my family were well asleep. I was beginning to get tired too. You know what? Fuck it. Ima just go to bed. I quickly went back upstairs into my bedroom and closed the door behind me. I closed my eyes and was finally able to drift to sleep.

The next morning I woke up and saw my parents already cooking breakfast in the kitchen. "Good morning, sweetie." Avery said.

"Mornin, Mom."

"Did you sleep well last night?"

"Mhm. I slept alright." I didn't tell her about the strange noises or even that voice.

"Me and my imaginary friend talked again," Jenna said. "She came into my room looking really sad. I gave her one of my Doll to cheer her up and she looked happy that I was doing something nice. We even talked for a bit and she told me she just wanted to feel loved again."

"Aww, that's really sweet of you!" Avery said with awe.

"Are you ready for your first day at your new High School, champ?" Derrick asked. "You'll make lots of new friends."

"Yeah...I-I'm ready. I just don't know about the friends part."

"I mean you can't be friends with everyone."

"I don't know if I want to make friends with anyone." I said. Avery looked at me sadly.

"Look Sweetie. I know what's going on, but you still have to try and make friends. Even if they don't last forever the memories you make can last forever."

"I guess I can make a few. But not a lot." I assured. Avery hugged me.

"That's what I like to hear." I finished eating and got ready for my first day. My bus should arrive at my stop soon.

"I'll see you guys later." I told them.

"Have a nice day," Avery waved.

"Bye, Jordan!" Jenna said. I slipped out the front door and waited for my bus stop. I heard the bus come and I got on. It was crowded. Like really crowded. I sat in an empty seat and took my phone out. over 100 Discord notifications on my phone. I opened them up and read them.

wsg mg, missed you already

wanna do a 1v1 later when you have time?

DUDE I JUST SAW. CONGRATS ON IMMORTAL 3. LITERALLY SO CLOSE TO RADIANT I smile to myself. At least if I don't make friends at my new school. The people online can help me not feel as lonley. I put up my phone as I saw my bus pull up to my new school. Wow. It is much bigger than my old one. I breathed in and out. Today is my first day at Canterlot High.
