Believers {Z.M}

I woke up, and gaged at the thought of school this morning. Ive always liked school because I understood things beyond my teacher's thinking.

My name is Shaun, and I'm 16. Ever since I started high school, I've been picked on. Because I was smart. Because I was weak. Because they weren't smart. Because they were strong.

I've only had one best friends ever; Vanessa. She was amazingly talented and loved every thing I was into. As beautiful and smart as she was, she obviously went along with the wrong kids. Ha. Silly me to think she'd fall in love with a guy like me.

Days. Weeks. Months. And eventually 3 years had passed since Vanessa has even said anything to me. Not even a worrisome look she'd give me. Just a look that said 'If I help you I won't be popular.' It was sad, but that's just how it is. The pretty new girl leaves the ugly nerd to become popular.

Everyday, I'd come home with a different bullying situation. Billy took my lunch money. Laura trips me. Spencer punches me. Carlos calls me names. And the hurtful of them all, Vanessa sits there and watches.

But time passes. Eventually, you get over it. But for me, time stands still. And as every second is bound to tick, so do I.
