tw mentions of bullying

"you should listen to outkast, sarah. it's so good." i smiled as we walked to our class.

"jazz, i pretty much know outkast cause you play it everytime we go somewhere." sarah rolled her eyes.

i shrugged, "yeah but you don't know them, know them, you know?"

"jasmine, i'm this close to slapping you." sarah laughed, "let's just hurry up and go to class. don't forget, we meet the group for lunch today."

i rolled my eyes, "yeah yeah. i know. i won't forget this time. promise."

sarah stopped and pointed her finger at me, "you better not. otherwise, anthony's gonna go crazy."

i laughed and wrapped my arm around her neck as we walked, "i'll be there, okay? if i don't show, i probably have a good reason."

sarah scoffed, "please. your last reason for not coming was that your cat died and you don't even own a cat."

i cringed, "yeah that was one lame ass excuse."

sarah laughed, "it was."

we walked into the class and sat in our seats. me and sarah talked to each other as the rest of the class came in. mr. russell came in after a while and started to hand out our letters. he handed me mine and i immediately opened it.

dear jazzy,

hi! i hope you had a great weekend. i didn't really. one, i have school on saturday and two, friday was just terrible for me. i think i told you this but if i didn't, i'll say it. i get bullied. like alot. my bullies are always the same people. friday was one of the days they just really hated me. there's this one girl in the group, chloe, who is the main person who bullies me. she likes to body shame me....repeatedly. i went to dinner with them along with my boyfriend and that's when they did it. i felt really bad because mikey did nothing to help me so i just went back to my dorm and cried. saturday, after school, they confronted me and they started to beat me up. sunday wasn't really all that because all i did was stay in my dorm. i'm sorry for saying all that but i have no one to talk to about this. again, i'm sorry. i hope you had a good weekend though!

pips~

when i finished the letter, i felt angry and sad for phillipa. she sounded like such a sweet person yet these people and her "boyfriend" are treating her like shit. i really hope her "boyfriend" isn't doing anything too bad to her. i pulled out a piece of paper and wrote my reply back.

"and don't forget to finish your essay! especially you sasha!" mr. medulla said with a smile as he pointed at sasha.

sasha shook her head and walked out with me. 

"why does mr. medulla always call me out?" sasha asked.

"maybe because you never finish your fucking work." i replied.

sasha nudged my side and laughed, "you weren't suppose to answer, jas."

i shrugged, "you asked, i had an answer." 

sasha shook her head, "i'm convinced you and mr. medulla pick on me specifically for a reason."

"what's the reason then, sasha?" i teased.

"i don't know but when i find out, i'll get you back, cephas!" sasha shouted as she ran the other way.

"whatever, hutchings!" i shouted after her.

"why do you always refer to people by their last names?" i heard oak ask behind me.

i turned around and hugged him tightly, "oak tree! hey buddy!"

oak groaned and pushed me away, "get off of me, man!"

i laughed, "you love me."

oak sighed, "for some strange reason i do but you still didn't answer my question."

i got off of him and we began to walk out the school, "because it's easier to remember people by their last names and faces."

"but what if they have the same last name?" oak asked.

i snapped finger guns at him, "that's why people have faces. if i look at someone's face, i can automatically remember their first and last name but i just call them by their last one. if they tend to have the same last name, i'll just call that specific person a shortened version of their last name. makes sense, oak?"

oak shrugged, "i guess but calling people by their first names isn't such a bad idea either, jasmine."

"whatever oak tree." i scoffed, "anyways, where are we going for lunch?"

"anthony wants to go to subway but daveed wants to go to the ice cream parlor." oak explained.

"why cant we go to both?" i asked, "we can go to the ice cream parlor after we go to subway."

"you know that daveed and anthony hate to agree on terms." oak laughed as we reached subway.

i sighed and opened the door, "i know but they need to stop being fucking idiots."

we walked in and sat with the group. renee was talking to daveed, anthony and sarah were playing among us and lin and groff were reading a book together. me and oak sat next to each other. i sat next to renee and oak sat next to anthony. 

"did you guys order anything?" oak asked.

"yeah we ordered ahead." anthony replied, "don't worry. i got both your orders right, promise. we're just waiting right now."

"oh, jasmine actually showed up?" sarah teased once she looked up.

i shook my head and flicked her off, "fuck off, hoe."

sarah just laughed. we talked to each other again until our orders came. we all began to dig in. 

"so, how is everyone today?" renee asked.

"she never fails to mention the question." daveed mumbled. 

"i'm doing pretty good in my classes." anthony replied.

"same. nothings really interesting anymore." oak added. 

"how's the pen pal?" renee asked me and sarah.

"my pen pal is so cool!" sarah smiled, "she does so many cool things like roller-skating, she collects these gems and so many other things. it's kind off crazy." 

renee nodded, "what about you, jasmine? how's your pen pal?"

i hesitated, "um, i don't think she's doing all that well."

"what do you mean?" lin asked.

"i mean like...when i got her letter today, she told me she was getting bullied." i replied, "her 'boyfriend' doesn't do anything about the bullies."

groff gasped, "her boyfriend isn't doing anything to her, right?"

i sighed, "that's my biggest concern right now. she didn't mention anything about him doing anything to her but i have a feeling that he is."
