Violet's POV
Its still dark out but I'm wide awake. I quickly get ready for school because I needed to get to school without being seen. I take a little shower and put on my uniform which consists of a red checked sort of skirt,with a white long sleeve shirt, a red tie with yellow stripes on it and a dark red blazer. I really do love my school uniform a lot because my favourite colours are red and white. I put on a pair of socks and some shoes get my bag which is made out of a leather sort of material and head out in a rush.
Its a good thing I'm already on the pathway as dawn is breaking. It's been two weeks since school started and I'm pretty excited about today. It's nothing special really it's just that today will be my first class of music. Curricular activities always start after the first two weeks and that includes music. I guess you could say I was lucky because after winning the Nationwide Young Pianist Award, the headmaster decided to only let me have individual classes instead of learning in a group like everyone else so Mrs. Potts will have more time to concerntrate on me to win a lot more trophies for the school. Which I have since the past year. Mrs. Potts isn't really the teacher who seems to like teaching very much, but no matter I still and will always love and enjoy music.
As I reach the school gates I only see a couple of kids there and I even see one of the teachers car parked at the parking lot. I head my way to the end of the field and sit down under a tree that's hidden away from anybody's view. It's a good thing that it didin't rain last night or I would have to face the hatred of all of the kids at this school. I take out the Romeo & Juliet novel that I was supposed read for English Literature class and finish off the last two chapters that I haven't read yet.I guess you could say that I like to be alone and that I love my privacy. Well, this is mainly because I get bullied a lot ever since I started primary school I was getting picked on and was called many names. But, it didin't just stop there instead it became even more worse when I moved on to my secondaries. At first it started with only a few girls calling me with bad names but they were one of the popular kids so I didin't have a chance against them and soon the whole school started doing the same. Soon after months of my first year I couldn't take it anymore and moreover, I was already in an emotional state ao I decided that I finally had enough with all this nonsense. When one of the girls approached me one day I stood up to her and told her to back off and mind her own business, but all I did was make the situation even worse. They started slapping me and kicking me whenever they were out of sight from the teachers and they would break into my locker and fill it with disgusting things. They would trip me over on purpose and shove me whenever I or they would pass by. Things got really out of hand so I decided to stay away but all they did was chasing after me just to get their share of entertainment in life.
I would say I'm a smart and bright girl though my self confidence has really been let down a lot.I do really great and I'm the top scorer in the school but nevertheless things never changed. So,I decided to atleast reduce my chances of falling into their traps by using ways where the teachers usually were even if they were really long ways and hiding in places such as this tree I'm sitting under. I also spend a lot of time in the library and the librarian seems to have taken a liking to me as so have I. I always sit right next to her and finish up my work. Sometimes I even help with hers. Once Ms. Mayer went over to the principles office to complain about something and some of the kids came in looking for me, threatening me to give them all of my money. But not so soon after just before one of the girls hand reached my face Ms.Mayer came to the rescue and they all ran away. Ms. Mayer has seen the things the kids in the school do to me and sometimes she just looks at me with that pitiful look on her face. I hate it when people give me that look because to me it feels like their thinking that I'm the most vulnerable soul that ever walked the earth and I know that I'm more bolder than that. In fact now that I think of it, I think I've seen some of the teachers give me that same look.
I finish reading my book and look at my watch I had ten minutes left till the bell rang. Since it was Monday we had assembly and it would rhoughly take me about 5 to 8 minutes to walk to the assembly hall. I put my book back into my bag and slowly started to make my way towards the hall hoping not to run into anybody. I finally made it to the noisy hall full of teenagers fooling around and I even see some of them in a corner doing some things their not supposed and would make me feel only disgust when I look at them. I reach there with only a few name callings which didin't bother me much though. I look for a seat everywhere but theres only one left at the front of the hall which is somewhere I would never think of even sitting my whole entire life. As I get closer to it I notice it was near to where the teachers would be taking their seats. As soon as I sit down, I turn my face towards the ground.
The dicipline teacher comes on stage not so soon after and the whole hall falls silent as he steps in which I think would be very common in every school. As he gives his speech the teachers start coming in and taking their seats. I could feel someone sit beside me which I guessed was a male teacher knowing by his shoes. I didin't even bother look up and give him a smile because I mainly didin't feel like being the center of attention for that day.
After the dicipline teacher finished his speech the usual announcements were announced and then the headmater walked over to the microphone. Usually if the headmaster was to say anything it would probably be something important.
He started of by telling us that Mrs.Potts would no longer be teaching in the school and that she was transfering. As soon as I heard this my head shot straight up. What will happen to the music section then? This question was the only thing that was running through my mind at that time.I guess the teacher sitting beside me was a little shocked by my sudden gesture that I could feel him looking at me and turned my head back towards the floor once again.
Then the headmaster said that they have a replacement and I was exicted as well as worried because, what if this teacher was even worse than Mrs. Potts? What will I do then? I didin't know all I knew was right when the headmaster called up Mr.Sykes which was as told, the man beside me got up. I looked up for the second time throughout the whole assembly and I was right! The replacement teacher was sitting right beside me the whole time and I must have looked like a weird freak beside him. He definitely wouldn't have been too pleased to have been sitting with me.
From afar I could see that he was really young and must have done really well to have finished studying so fast. I turned my head around to see some girls pracitcally drooling over him and some were holding their breath that they looked like they might pass out soon enough.
Mr. Sykes was given a chance to give a speech and he just introduced himself by his name and as the new history and music teacher in the school. The headmaster then took back the mike and said that he would be teaching class 5W for history. At that time I soon realised that his going to teach me and that's going to attract even more unwanted attention for me.
I was so worried and so deep in thought that I didin't realise that my head was up the whole time! I finally got out of that trance and realised that I was practically staring at him. I could see him trying to study my expression. But before he could continue doing so we were all excused and I was the first one to get off my seat and walk towards the door. It felt quite awkward because everyone was just staring at me. When I reached the door someone stuck their leg out and tripped me. I fell face first and hard. I got really mad but I quickly calmed myself down, got back up and left the place.
