I never quite understood her. That brown hair always hanging in the same old bun, that fell out into a messy pony tail by 3 o'clock. The way she always looked at the floor when she walked. The way she was always in a daze no matter where she was. It just sorta of bugged me, ya know? The girl was like a hermit to be or something. She hardly ever talked, and when she did she never looked into the person's eyes. She wore big sweat shirts whose sleeves hung over her big hands. Her little smile of self denail always presant. It was as if she were a little kid still in her own little world of unicorns and fairies. Sometimes i laughed at her with the other guys. Sometimes I wished I could be there with her.1
Her name was Kathryn, a 14 year old with almost no friends. She was one of the girls that everyone knew her name, but no one considered her a friend. She wasn't ugly. She wasn't fat. One thing she was was tall, but really thre was nothing that bad about her. She was just so quiet, as if she didn't know how to talk. Sometimes the other girls would make fun of her.How quiet she was, how she always wore her hair the same. They'd knock her down and laugh like it was some great joke they made. I always expcted Kathryn to break out in tears, but she never did. She took her beatings while standing tall and silent. I dunno how she did it. The wierdo was stronger then me! but would i ever admit it? Heck no. Kathryn was wierd diffrent and defintally not my type. But was that really the truth?2
Everyday I'd see her walking home from school. She lived just a few houses away from me, in an old broken down apartment. I'd follow her far enough behind that people knew we were NOT together. She never looked back and I never looked straight at her, but she knew i was there. it was like a fifth sense or somthing that she had, but once or twice I'd catch her looking back with sad, lonley eyes. Her eyes almost made me want to go and hug her and make her feel all better. But then i shook my head to get the idea's out. this was Kathryn we are talking about. Kathryn is not my type. She isn't anyone's type! she was just some loser who had no feelings. but was that really the truth?3

Wow! Now you've got the beginnings here of what could be a really awesome story, girl! I'm most impressed by your writing in this piece! You held my attention from the very first line, till the very last, and I really hated it, that I got to the "end" and realized there was no more to read at the moment about Kathryn. What happens to her? Why does she not have any friends if there's nothing really wrong with her? What's her story? What happens to her? (Can you tell, I can't wait to read the next chapter???
) There are two reasons I think I'm really drawn to your story. One is because I very much want to write stories, myself. Short stories, or even a novel. And so I'm always so impressed by anyone that write as well as you have here, and made me want more! The 2nd reason is 'cause your story of the girl in this piece reminded me a great deal of a girl I went to school with many, many years ago, named Rebecca. (How strange, that even though it was almost 40 years ago, I still remember her very clearly!) She "resembled" Kathryn a great deal. (Oops....I'm rambling! Sorry! 
That's what happens when you write something this good, that had the ability to make me recall something from so very long ago! 
) Anyway....this was a really wonderful story! (You should enter it into a contest!) I hope you'll let me know when you've added on to it! I'd love to keep up with it! EXCELLENT write!
