pen pal (a jasippa fanfic) [ON HOLD]

phillipa

tw physical bullying 

(this takes place when she receives jasmine's pen pal letter)

i rolled over to turn off my alarm clock off. i didn't want to get up but i know i had to. i sat up and walked to my bathroom. i took a quick shower and began to get dressed. i just wore some black overalls with a white baggy shirt underneath it with white adidas. i put my hair up into a bun and grabbed my school bag. i checked my phone to see a message from no one other than chloe. chloe is someone who bullies me. like a lot. she texts me everyday in the morning at exactly 8:20 to tell me how much of a disappointment i am to society. she always found a way to get my number. i had it changed so many times, blocked every number she texted me from but she always found a way to contact me. i refuse to post on my socials because if i did, she would find me almost immediately. i sighed and opened the contact

(xxx)-xxx-xxxx

hey whore. i hope you have a terrible day today. can't wait to see you :)

i blocked the number and turned off my phone. i walked out my room and grabbed a poptart from the kitchen. i walked out the dorm and towards the foyer. i made sure to walk a little slow in order to keep hidden from chloe and her "gang". you can say i'm scared all you want. i'm just trying to make it to my first class. once i reached the end of the hall, i peeked out from the wall and saw chloe and her gang hanging out around the doors, waiting for me. they always did this everyday. i was about to turn around to go through the back like i always do until i bumped into mikey, my "boyfriend". mikey is my boyfriend but he's not my "boyfriend", you know? when i first started getting bullied by chloe and her gang, i told mikey. he said he would protect me. one day when we were walking to class, i saw chloe and them walk up to me. i held onto mikey but then he pushed me towards them. they came up to me and started beating me up and he just stood there and watched. he didn't even help me get up. he just walked off with chloe and them and just left me to go back to my dorm limping in pain. that's when i realized he didn't like me at all. mikey looked down at me and i looked up at him in fear. 

"what'chu doin', pips?" mikey asked with a smirked.

"i-i left something in my dorm room." i lied, "i was just going back to retrieve it."

mikey laughed evilly and wrapped his arm around my neck, "it couldn't be that important, pips. c'mon, let's go say 'hi' to chloe and her friends."

my eyes widened in fear as he started pushing me towards them, "n-no i think i-i'm fine, mikey."

"nonsense, just a quick 'hello' and then you can go to class." mikey chuckled.

my heart stopped when i saw chloe and her gang look back at me and mikey. chloe smiled her evil smile and nodded her head towards the door. i knew what that meant. they were going to beat me up before school again. i hated when they did that. mikey nodded and pushed me outside. we all walked on the side of the school building where no one could see us. mikey pushed me forward into the wall of the building. 

"she was tryna go through the back door again." mikey told chloe.

chloe raised her eyebrow and smirked, "really? why would she wanna do that? i thought we were all good friends. aren't we, pips?"

i cringed as she said my name, "n-no."

her fake smiled dropped. chloe nodded and snapped her fingers. just then, james and calvin, the two strong ones of the gang, both walked up to me. i knew what was coming before it even happened. james punched me in my gut and i cried in pain. i hunched over and grasped my stomach in pain. calvin came up in front of james and kicked my arm that was holding my stomach. i hated that i did this but i knew if i kept standing, it was going to get worse than before. i fell to the ground and covered my face. calvin and james started to kick and punch me all over my body. it felt like hours until they finally stopped. i was breathing heavily and crying slightly. i didn't want to look up so i just stayed there until i heard them left. i uncovered my face and saw them walking farther away from me along with mikey. i sighed but that was proven as a bad idea because i felt a sharp pain on my side. i got up and wobbly walked into the school building. i ran as fast as i could to the nearest bathroom and hid in a stall. i pulled my overalls down a little and took of my bloodied shirt. i grabbed my bag and pulled out my oversized black hoodie. i placed it under my overalls and strapped the overalls back in place. i grabbed my bag and walked out the stall. i pulled out my first aid kit and began applying some medicine on my bruises. i put a bandaid over the big cut on my cheek and sighed. i put the kit back in my bag and walked out to my first class. although i'm majoring in art, i chose to have a writing class also. thankfully, none of chloe gang members had the class. i sat towards the back and pulled my hood over my head. i didn't want to get picked on in here, too. 

in this class, we were doing a pen pal project. i already sent my letter so now i'm just waiting for their reply. i was pretty happy about this whole thing. maybe me and my pen pal could meet each other, hopefully. our teacher, ms. kinpley, began handing out the envelopes. when she got to me, she handed to me gently. ms. kinpley is the only person here who treats me right. my parents do too but they don't go to school so ms. kinpley is the filler for them. she knows about the bullying i receive. i told her and she told the principal but they didn't care. they threatened to fire her if she mentioned it again. i begged her not ot tell my parents. they were already happy that i got into a good college so i don't want them to worry too much. i opened the envelope and pulled out the paper.

dear pippa,

you have a nice name. my name's jasmine but you can call me jas or jazzy. either or is fine. some things about me you should know is that i live in brooklyn, new york. it's busy all the time here but it's beautiful if you go to the right places. i love dogs also. my favorite flower are roses because they're so pretty that it hurts to touch. i heard you don't have any friends and i just wanted to let you know that i would love to be your first if you don't mind. maybe you could also be friends with my losers. i can't wait to learn more about you phillipa.

jazzy~

i reread the letter just to make sure i saw that correctly. she wants to be my friend? i asked myself. i never heard those words before but i was happy when she wanted to know more about me. i grabbed a piece of paper and immediately began to write back.
