⁹ Take Revenge

Take revenge

Bella has gotten quite used to people staring at her.

From being the girl who woke up with amnesia to the girl who dyed her blonde hair to a dark color. Those were the reasons she was being stared at for so long.

And everyday there was a new reason. When she slammed her locker shut when Kate threw a stupid comment at her, or when there were gossips going around about different subjects about Bella.

And because of that, she got used to people staring constantly. She didn't care anymore, it was like second nature.

But today was different, everyone was staring in a weird way. Not the way Bella got used to.

She was walking down the hallways, holding tightly onto her backpack straps and staring at the ground in shame.

She didn't know why she felt this way, but the way people stared at her made her feel like she did something wrong, and she wanted to stare at the ground and just disappear.

They were looking at her like she died and came back to life. They were talking between each other and staring at her.

Like she killed someone. Like she stole something.

It scared her.

But it only made her think they knew about what Tate tried to do. That freaked her out. She didn't know what rumors they were spreading and if they were saying the truth or not, and that scared her.

While walking down the hallway and making her way to her locker, everything felt like it's moving in slow motion.

Like she's in a movie, everyone is looking and talking and the time is so slow. Everything is in slow motion, it was taking her so long to reach her locker.

While walking in complete shame for no reason, her blue eyes landed on someone, she didn't even recognize him for a second.

Tate wasn't looking like a human being anymore. He had numerous bruises on his face. His right eye was swollen, he can barely open it. He had a bandage on his nose, and some blood was leaking out of it.

He looked scary.

Bella wondered what happened to him. Did a car hit him or something?

It was so scary for a human being to look like this. She felt bad when she looked at him, but it felt good. She secretly liked how horrible he looked, but looking at someone with this much bruises and blood made her feel bad because she didn't like to see people get hurt.

That was basically Bella, kind to the point she can be naive.

Bella continued walking towards her locker to find her friends there. Everyone except Luke.

She didn't see him since her party on Friday night. And she doesn't remember seeing him much. She doesn't recall the event of Friday night clearly honestly, except the Tate part.

" morning " Bella smiled at her friends, who were enjoying some morning gossip before Bella joined them.

" morning bestie " Ashton giggled his famous baby boy giggle. He slid an arm around Bella's shoulder and kissed her rosy cheek softly.

" how are you Bella " Calum asked her, just to make sure she's fine.

He knew well enough that Bella won't tell him if she didn't feel fine. Because they're not as close as they used to be. If it was a few months ago, Bella definitely would've called the curly headed boy at 3am to tell him about something that is bothering her.
