Golden Cuddles
Legacy Name: Golden Cuddles

Golden looked up at the stars, wondering what it would be like to live that far away. It probably wouldn’t be that different she told herself. Sighing she stopped looking out the window, Cream Puff was bouncing around trying to get her attention. She hugged it sadly. It made her shiver hugging the little square of never melting ice. Slowly she fell asleep, Cream Puff just sitting in her arms, waiting for her to wake up in the morning.She awoke to a happy chirping sound, her little Cream Puff was desperately trying to sound like a bird. Golden smiled. Then continued to ready for school.On the bus ride, Golden tolerated the mocking from the class bully, who always taunted her by her last name, Cuddles. She put up with the giggles of laughter from the students. In this world, Golden had to, otherwise insanity would follow.The only thing that stood out in the school, were the Valentine ’s Day decorations hung upon the walls. Signaling the forever dreaded day. Last year the class bully had put mud in her locker, the year before tripped her when she had approached the guy she liked. Students had laughed at her humiliation. She had removed everything important to her from the school grounds, and finished any leftover homework. She hated her social life. There was absolutely no friends at school, and no safe place to hide.She once again headed home, and continued to spend the rest of the day with her beloved pet, and only friends, Cream Puff.The day of hatred had arrived, and she dressed somewhat nice just to not stand out. Even though she was sure one way or another it wouldn’t matter.She went to school, surprised by the lack of mocking that awaited her. Then she opened her locker, expecting some sort of horrible surprise that would make everyone burst out into laughter. The her astonishment, she found it exactly the same as she had left it, except for a single rose, at first it made her smile, then frown as she put two and two together.Because there at the corner was the only one who knew her locker combination, awkwardly shuffling toward her, with jeers from his friends behind him. The class bully approached and shyly told her his feelings. This stunned and shocked her, though it made perfect sense. Thinking of all the awful things he had done to her in the past, she had to totally reject him.With a growl he swore to make her life forever miserable because of that day. Thinking back on it, Golden regretted not playing along, for to this day she was still tormented, and still an outcast.
