She took her books and headed home. She had no one to walk with. People were busy with their friends. Allison had no friends. She saw her sisters walking with their friends. Allison felt her eyes go blurry. She was crying. She wiped her eyes and ran.
When she got home she ran straight to her room. Mother didn't notice her. She was busy talking on the phone like always. Allison climbed onto her bed and went under the covers, sniffing miserably. Alisa came in, looking at her phone. She bumped her head on a a hanging picture of Allison's favourite band.
"Ooooch!" Alisa said, rubbing her head. "This is my room, you repugnant oaf." Allison said, her face full of contempt. "Sorry." Alisa said, and she went out. Allison scowled. Her sisters were a huge problem. Allison locked her door. Then she went on to her bed and cried.
Alice saw Allison close her door. She felt sorry for her hermit-like sister. She wanted to comfort her sister. But Allison was proud. She was proud and she didn't like people. Alice went to Alisa and knocked on her door. "Can you come to my room?" she asked sweetly. Alisa shrugged and walked there, thinking of the new boy in class who was very cute.
Alice knocked on Alicia's door and told her to go to Alice's room. Alicia hesitated and then walked there. Alice closed the door. "I need to talk to you gu--girls about Allison." Her sisters suddenly looked extremely bored. "She is so sad!" Alice said, not noticing her sisters lingering looks at the door.
"Yeah but she made herself that way." Alisa said, wondering whether she should run for the door. Alicia began to feel restless. "Yaaaggghhhh!!!" she screamed and ran out of the room. Alisa and Alice stared at the open door. Alisa took a deep breath. Then she ran out.
Alice flopped onto her bed and sighed loudly. Then she took up her violin and started to play.

Allison walked into school her eyes hurting. Crying always made them sore. That day was starting out normally when suddenly someone bumped into her. People never bumped into her. Usually they would run away from her. Allison looked at the person. It was a boy.
"S-sorry." the boy said, picking up Allison's books. "Its okay." she said. She noticed that the boy had blue eyes. "I'm Allison." she said awkwardly. The boy laughed. "I'm Foster." Allison blushed. She never blushed. "I'm so sorry for bumping into you." he said. Allison looked at her feet. "It was okay."
Foster smiled and started to walk away. "Bye." he said, waving. She waved back and he walked off. Allison's heart thudded. She had never felt this way before. She always ran away from people. She didn't know anybody well. Now she felt she didn't even know herself.
