My name Smile_For_Me is about a story way back in 6th-8th grade and freashman year in highschool, when I moved to this little town in CA, the school was ok, but the students didn't like me, because I was different, Coming over from WY I had a different out look, like helping others, man I fell down one time and had a gash running down my knee to my ankle, no one helped, not even the teachers, but when ever someone fell down I would help them. I had friends by the 8th grade, three guys, and they'd stick up for me from time to time. One was in the popular group, so he made sure no one would hurt me, I go hit one time from his friend who suckered punched me in the face, and he gave him a busted lip and two black eyes, that boy never hit a girl again. The other two where loners or outcasts like me, and would have gotten into trouble in I hadn't gotten them out of it. I asked them one time, why they hung around me, or why they even botherd. They told me that is was because of my smile, and how when ever I came around, I'd asked them if they where ok when they where looking down or sad. At times, they would confess everything and cry, I would just listen and give them a smile, then I'd tell them everything will be alright, I'd be there for them.
Today, those three are doing well, the popular one has a good job, just waiting to get into college, the other two did as well, one went to Yale, the other in Oregon Uni. But then freashman year came, I didn't have those three with me anymore since we all went to different highschools, but I made fast friends with a lot of people, even one kid in computer class, Gilbert I know your on here so e-mail me....., We joked all day in that class for the whole year, even giving the teacher one of those screaming stare at this for 15 sec pictures, OMG I had never laughed so hard. At the end of the year, I had to say my last good bye to him, alas he this was his last year. He wrote in my year book and told me something to do for him, "Alexis, I want you to smile for me, so next time I see you, I can smile for you." So smile for me became my user name, even if it has been four years since I've seen Gilbert, and six for the other three, but I still keep in touch from time to time, and now as I'm writing this, I am smiling.
I hope its not to long or sappy
