I woke up, earlier than usual, so excited, this is the moment i was waiting for. Today I will start a new life, being in a new school environment, and meeting new friends. I didn't have friends in the other school, except for "Big Bob", but we didn't talk much. When my mom decided to leave this small town and i would be transfered to another school, I was hoping that I could make something different.
The teacher introduced me to the class, but seemed like no one was axtually listening to what she said. I sat next to Dylan, who was talking to the other boys behind. I took a breath, smiled brightly and said hello to him. But he ignored me and kept talking to others. I felt quite depressing, it was not a good start at all. At lunch time, I walked down to the canteen and saw Dylan. Once again, i smiled and asked him if i could sit next to him. He agreed immediatly. But then he turned back and saw me, he said no, the table was fulled. I was schocked a little. I sat in an emty table, lonely, I didn't touch my lunch.
At the end of school, i decided to walk home and went to the supermarket on the sane occasion. On my way, i saw Dylan who was with two senior boys. He seemed so confused, and scared. It looked like the two senior boys were teasing him by tooking Dylan's book. I thought this will be a great chance for me to show that I'm a good friend to Dylan. I shouted :"Stop!", they looked at me suprisingly. I took one more step and began to say that this was not a good thing to do, i wanted them to return Dylan's book. They grinned and said :" Who do you think you are? Teacher? You don't have the right to say that to us". I swallowed, and continuea that if they continued I will tell the teachers. They looked angrily at me, threw the book to Dylan and approached me. One of them pushed me to the ground, and the other kept kicking me. I couldn't do anything beside covering my face. I shouted for help, i expected the bystanders and also Dylan to help me. But they ignored me. I understood this really well. I looked at Dylan, looked at him straight in the eyes, but he ran away, like he didn't know a single thing. A teacher walked by, Oh my last and only hope, it felt like i have found the faint light at the end of the road. One of the seniors whispered in my ear, chuckled
: "You got lucky this time, kid"
He pushed me down, flicked off dust from his hands, and they disappeard.
I can't hardly move my body.
...
I returned home. My mom was standing in front of the door, cheerfully, but when she saw the bruises, she began to asked what happened, i tiredly smiled to her and said that i clumsily fell off the stairs. She asked how was my first day, I lied
:" It was fine mom", and went to my room. I laid on my bed, sighed, looked blankly at the ceiling.Why do i have to suffer from the same situation again? I can't stand it anymore. I should have died. Yes, I should have disappeard from this world.
Mom knocked the door and opened it :" Are you ok dear?"
I pretended to sleep. She looked at me and sighed, she left.
Probably she knew what happened to me. I thought about it, if i died, who will stay beside mom. No one. No, i can't died. There should be some hopes for me. I must live on, do not let my dearest mom down.
Book reviews, yes, but so much more as well!

You do well to create a bleak mood through your descriptions. I like it how you have tried to create tension with the lunchtime incident with Dylan. I wonder if there could ahve beena little more description and maybe a twist in the end?
