Sadness~A Leonetta Fanfic~On hold

Inside the changing rooms

I ran and ran and ran trying to make it to school on time after being told the news by my dad. I eventually made it but my teacher didn't look too happy.

"Violetta." She said, pausing in the middle of writing on the blackboard.

"Yes, Miss Keynes?"

"Do you know what time it is?"

"10:02, Miss"

"Don't even get me started on what you are wearing!"

"A car drove over a puddle and wet me Miss!"

Snickers went around the classroom. I looked down in shame and embarrassment.

"I advise you take your seat," She met my eyes." And quickly!"

I rushed to the back of the classroom avoiding eye contact with my fellow peers because I knew just one look at them and I would have burst out crying.

As soon as I sat down at the back in the furthest corner of the room the tears that I was keeping in started to spill silently. Your probably wondering why is she crying but the thing is I hate public humiliation. It all started when I was younger and in kindergarten. It was Christmas and we were putting on a play and I was playing a tree all I had to say was 'we are the forest trees' and it would be over but, I got so nervous and I-I-I tooted. Non

Of the kids would stand next and every time a tooting sound was made everyone would immediately look towards my direction.

The bell rang and I was out like the speed of light. I ran to the girls changing rooms where we would be changing for dodge ball. There was only one cubicle for a private change and I intended to get it.

I collapsed on the door breathing in and out. I opened it and started to change. The door to the main changing room opened and about 10 girls started to talk and open their lockers.

"Is Castillo here," I heard one say. "I hear her dad abuses her and her mum died on an overdose of drugs."

I put my fist in my mouth to muffle the cry. I can't believe people think that about me.

"That's probably why she was late this morning, trying to hide the cut and bruises from her father." Another confidently stated.

After that was said everyone went back to their usual conversations. Not long after they were all finished so they filed out but, I stayed a little longer for my well deserved weep.
