Imaginary Friend(Liru)

Liu's POV

"Hi I'm Liu! I'm from a far province and I just moved here! Hey wanna be friends? Wait maybe that person isn't from the school i will be in. Ugh! why is it so hard." I was just practicing in front of a trash can how will i firstly interact with a person. We just moved here and i'm not used to be with people. I decided to read a book i always bring, "Robotics and Engineering: A Beginner's Guide" I always wanted to become an engineer and be like my dad. He makes cool robots and inventions, my mom is a housewife and my sister, well she's the best! Although that's the reason why we moved out. My dad got a job from a company somewhere at the highway road side and we got to move out too. But my parents want us to be in a near town so dad can easily travel and reach out to us, so yeah... As I sat down and read my book besides a tree, a group of kids are standing in front of me. When I looked up they grabbed my shirt and lift me up high. "Oww, uh can I help You???" I stuttered a little bit and gulped. "Hey I heard your the new kid in the street ey?" He's large and very strong, he has a big body than mine. He seems to look like from the Bars tribe of course he wears a jacket and has jocky looking clothes, he also got a scar on his right brow maybe he got into a browl. He also bring some friends he started scanning me head to toe. He also looked at the book I was reading which was already on the grass. "Hmm seems like we got a nerd in our hands guys, he looks pretty intelligent." He commented after scanning me. "Uh--uhh  thanks?Wwant to be friends" I thanked for I think it's a compliment and nervously smiled. I was shaking and nervously sweating. He blurted a breath not expecting a naive response he suddenly chuckled with his friends. I also play along thinking what is even happening. Did i made a joke? When he stopped lauging and breathed a sigh "Do you even believe i can be friends with a weird and naive nerd like you? Not a chance sucker!!! Right guys" His other friends laughed and i feel a bit embarrased and sad. "Now let's rip the nerd's book off!" He faced his friends and eyed one of his friends he cracked his knuckles and took the book. He started to forcely tear it in half. "Noooooo!!! That's mine!!!" I started to struggle and accidentally kicked his chin and he let go. I hardly land to the grass, he started rubbing his jaw and his crew stopped ripping off my book. "Uh-oh" I realized i'm gonna get myself beaten up, on my insticts, i got up and ran to the woods. He grunted and said "Alright then instead of tearing your stupid book, We'll tear you up apart!!! Get him boys!!!" I heard his threat and started to ran faster and faster, the faster I run, the more deep i get to the forest. "Quick we're losing him" he panted, I was quick i suddenly hid behind the trees to catch my breath. I closed my breath so the can't hear my pants, they stopped and they can feel my prescence. "You know what you can run but you can't hide. Surrender now and we will give you a good beating. We'll mark you ablack eye as a sign of friendship. So we can imprint your fear hahhahhahhahah!!!" He evily chuckled and i started to panick! I quickly think and i saw a small stone. I Quickly pick it up and scan where i can throw it, I saw a stream and using what i had my strength left i threw it with all my might. They heard the sound and saw the stream as well. "Guys that way go, go before we lose him!" The leader followed the sound as the stone skipped to the stream. Their footsteps faded away and when i felt the silence i started breathing the air i catch my breath to easily breath. I then relax myself and slid to the tree bark. "Dang it i just moved here now i got a rival." i sighed and started to look at the sky. "It's dark already?" I complained to myself. I then got to my knees when i heard rustling behind the bushes. I started to move backwards and i got nervous i don't have anything to defend myself. And what i saw made me a little embarrassed, it's just a squirrel. I sighed in relief when i was about to turn around,
