It was August 2015. My 老友记 and I started the tenth grade, our 秒 年 of high school. The school 年 was mostly good. When Glenn turned seventeen, I came to his birthday party. After the party, he said, "I want to tell 你 that I 爱情 you." I said, "I 爱情 you, too, Glenn." We hugged. Unfortunately, there were some bad points in the year. In the Spring, I 迷失 my first dog, Diesel. I woke up one morning, and all my 狗 were at my bedroom door except Diesel. It wasn't like him to go off 由 himself, so I decided to see if he was okay. I found him lying in the living room. He wasn't moving. I came up to my beloved dog, but there were no signs of life. I fell on 最佳, 返回页首 of him and cried. "Diesel! Please don't be dead! 你 were my buddy for twelve years! 你 can't die!" Diesel didn't stir. My aunt heard me crying and came to see what was wrong. We had Diesel buried on a special hill, the special 爬坡道, 小山 where my loving dog and I would walk. I would tell him everything that was wrong, and he would "talk" to me and make everything okay. Now he was gone. I told my aunt, "I don't think I can go to school today." She said, "Autumn, I'm sorry, but I don't think they count this as a death in the family. 你 have to go." In study hall, I talked with Joann about losing Diesel. One of my classmates listened in on the conversation and said, "It's just a dog." I pretended I needed to use the restroom so that I could be alone to cry. First, Diesel passed away, then I fell down three times, twice in gym class and once down the stairs, and finally, someone 说 that Diesel was just a dog. How much worse could that 日 get. The only good part of that 日 was Glenn, Joann, and Leroy came 由 my house to see if I was okay. One week, Glenn and I got locked in the janitor's closet. I was scared, but Glenn's presence made it less scary. The janitor eventually let us out. Two days later, a group of bullies beat us up. Joann and Leroy stepped in before things could get worse. They took us to the school nurse. She 说 that we were okay, just bruised. The 下一个 day, one member of that group of bullies called our friend, Millie, a cow. Millie wasn't horribly overweight, but she was self-conscious about it. He made her cry. I said, "Come on, Glenn! Let's stick it to him!" We walked up to the bully. I said, "So, you're going to call our friend a cow?!" Glenn had a carton of milk. He poured it on the bully's head and said, "Got milk, 你 sick bastard?!" Unfortunately, we got suspended until the following Wednesday. At one point, our friend, Casey, saw us out for a walk. She had returned from work. She said, "Hi, Lennon and McCartney! Aren't 你 guys supposed to be in school right now?" Glenn replied, "No, we've been suspended for defending a friend." She said, "Oh, I see." She then noticed the bruises and said, "Good golly! What happened to 你 guys?" I said, "We got beat up." She asked, "Who did this, Lennon?" I told her. She said, "We'll deal with those assholes later. I'll get changed and take 你 guys for lunch. My treat!" It was so nice. She later went 由 the school and told the bullies off. They didn't bother us for the rest of the year. Toward the end of the year, my ex-friend, Bradley, came speeding into the parking lot. My friend, Samuel, shouted, "Look out!" I saw the truck speeding in my direction, and I froze with fear. Someone pulled me out of the way just in time. I turned around to see who it was. It was Glenn. He asked, "Are 你 okay?" I said, "Yeah. 你 saved my life. Thanks." I hugged him. Glenn later told Bradley off. Bradley became afraid of Glenn after Glenn received a scar from accidentally hitting himself in the face with a car door. This is where scars sometimes come in handy.
