CHAPTER THREE;
• HEY FREAK •

"thank you for listening." mike smiles as they finish up their presentation.

"thank you el and mike for that detailed presentation." mr clarke smiles right before the bell rings.

everyone starts packing there stuff away and el then quickly rushes out of the room.

"hey freak!" troy shoves her into a locker with a loud bang as she groans.

everyone in halls stop walking and talking and watches the encounter between the two.

el slides down the locker and holds her head, she was certain that her head was bleeding and she was right. she placed her hand at the back of head and there was blood.

she groans quietly, letting out a breath as troy laughs.

calm down, el. calm down. she took deep breaths.

she knew how to fight due to her past but of course she never wanted to use those actions in someone.

troy pulls her up by her neck, "such a little bitch."

she shuts her eyes as tears brim in her eyes.

"come on, hit me back you freak! are you mute!?" he laughs in her face

that's it.

she grabs his arm that was holding her neck and twists his arm and snaps it. he screams in pain and lets go making el step back.

shit.

she looks around to see everyone staring at her in shock, then she met eyes with mike who's mouth was gaped.

she grabs her bag and pushes past the crowd to run to the girls bathroom. she goes to her usual one as well, the one where no one goes to so it's always just her.

she drops her bag, walking towards the sink. looking in the mirror with a sigh, she sees what a mess she was.

she touches the back of her head and feels the blood on the back of her head. she winces at the pain and takes a deep breath before opening her bag.

her hand roams through the bag, finding the small object she knew would destroy her yet couldn't stay away from. once she did reach it, the door suddenly barges open.

"m-mike?" she looks up slowly.

he gives her a frown before shutting the door.

"you know this is the girls bathroom, right?" she backs away a bit as he nods.

"i know, i just saw what happened and i just couldn't stand the thought of you being alone. you need to go to the nurse, el." he tells her softly.

"i-i'm fine, w-what are you on about?" she asks quietly.

"there is literally a blood stain on the locker." he informs her.

her eyes widen, "what? i-it was just a small shove, i'm sure you saw wrong." she tells him.

"it wasn't just a small shove, el. c-can i take a look?" he asks, walking closer towards her as she nods.
