Maybe I should do an online school? I mean then I can stay away from everyone and be in a secure location. I'll have Bennie to protect me and he can keep me company.

Blake will never go for that. He wouldn't want me so isolated or alone. I like to think that he thinks I have friends at school like a lot of friends.  He's met James a couple times, so he thinks I have friends.

I never had the heart to tell him that James ditched me and that James was my only friend. Blake is always worrying about me and if saying I have friends one more worry away from him the better.

He is already worried about living to the end of everyday that he doesn't need me adding to his worry.

So I'll just have to ignore them. I'll have to go on with my life as if I hadn't met them today, as if James hadn't spoken to me. 

It's time for me to forget.  Instead of letting James forget me again, I'm going to forget him along with Clyd and Clark.

It's time I take control over something in my life.
