I decide to skip out first period (or what would be first period) and stay with Devon in the bathroom. I walk to the far corner and it down, deciding that I am going to wash my clothes a million times when I get home. "Oh, Devon, Erin was so rough with you! I'm sorry." I pet his head "Are you okay?" He slumps over in his little hug and I sigh. "Good. I was nervous that you would be mad. You're so understanding." I say, and cuddle him.
I fall into a little nap, dreaming of a land where dolls turned to people, and Devon and I lived happily ever after. I wake to the sound of flip-flops aproching. I look up wearily mumbling "What a strange dream...." and instead of finding a friend, I find the mean girls from 8th grade. "Oh, look what the toilet threw up.....emo girl...." Anna says. Her friends laugh. "Look...guys...last year was different! Let's put that behind us and start high school fresh! I mean, that's what it's all about, right? New beginings?" I franticly say, standing up. Anna smiles and says "Yes! Let's be friends! And friends share, right? So why don't you show me that doll you are holding." "Uhhh..." I whine, looking at Devon. I then hold him out, so that Anna can see him. "His name is Devon. Isn't he cute?" I ask. "Yea, real cute..." aNNA SAYS, THEN SNATCHES HIM FROM ME "...FOR A SACK OF DIRT!" She yanks his yellow hair roughly, and plucks at his stiches. "STOP!" I scream, lunging for Devon. Anna throws him to Casey, another girl, and I fall. Casey looks at Devon with amusement and holds him upside down by his leg. I look up and Devon seems to be pleading "Help me!" I start to stand up and Casey rips out an eye saying, "I love this color button...." "You're awful!" I cry, reaching for him again. Casey throws it back to Anna and says "Get the other button for me, will ya?" Anna grabs Devon and vicously rips out his other eye. She trimphantly raises her hand, holding the button in it. I see some redish liquid on Anna's hand and I gasp "Devon! He's bleeding!" Anna screams and drops Devon, who's eyes are still trickling blood. I quickly crawl over to him, and snatch him up. I hug him close, not caring that he was a doll but he was bleeding. "Oh, Devon...I'm so sorry....I should have never let this happen to you! And now you're bleeding, oh what do I--" my thoughts interupt my own question The sewing kit! I have been carrying that thing aroung since 7th grade and it's never helped until now..... I reach in my purse and pull out my sewing kit, which has two black buttons in it. "I'm sorry, Devon, but it's the only color I have!" I say, threading the needle. I quickly splash his eyes with a little water to clean them up, and I quickly sew the buttons onto his eyes. "There!" I say, triumphantly, holding Devon above my head. I hold him close to my heart, and we sit there in silence for a few seconds. After a minute, I hear a voice that sounds soft and faint, like it were far away say "Thank you." I look around me and say "Did you hear that, Devon?" He looks me dead in the eyes, and the faint voice come back up. "Devon loves you." I gasp "Are you...Devon...? I ask. "Devon loves you." it responds. "You can talk?" I ask.
The soft voive says nothing for a while, and then breaking the silence in my head, I hear the words "Devon loves you."
