Hell that's what middle school was.
That's what life was, Hell.
"Elise.." I look over. I can feel Alia shift in her seat. I know my eyes look shot but I don't care as long as the faint blue was still there I was fine.
"Oh Elise what happened" She generally sounded shocked. I could hear Mr. Setan's polished wing tipped shoes coming towards my seat.
"Anything wrong Ms.Enders hmmm?" I could hear the back of the class giggle.
"No Mr. Setan thank you" My voice barely whispered
"Good" He walked away and started to give the class another lecture. I could feel Alia's eyes burning through me. I try to focus on my paper. My head was pounding, I didn't get much sleep last night. Leo was up all night wondering where our mom was, (probably working again) I told him she would be home soon but he refused to go. After his protests finally dulled I went into my room and collapsed on my bed.
"ELISE" My thoughts were interrupted by Mr. Setan who was screaming his head at me because I fell asleep during his class. "I'm so sorry Mr. setan I got no sleep last night." I face my head down while he lectures me about how I'm gonna fail and my family should get me some help. I'm fighting my tears while the class goes to lunch, he holds me back making sure.
"You know damn well that I'm gonna be watching you carefully now" His words not mine, when his voice lowered I nodded cause I knew if I spoke tears would come.
"Good now go eat lunch" I grab my lunch making sure I make no eye contact.

I'm juggling my lunch and books in one hand trying to not trip. I was thinking over what Mr. Setan said and I remembered what he whispered as I slipped out.
"Good-for-nothing." Not watching if anyone saw a tear slipped down my face. How could a teacher be so cruel, I know because Mr. Setan is Satan incarnate. More tears fell, it blinded my vision. I knocked into something and all my book and lunch skidded across the floor. I kneel down picking up my books about to scream some colorful words when I look up and see Liam Beckett. LIAM BECKETT, kneeling down picking up my books.
"Hey, I'm sorry I didn't see you". I look up through my eyelashes trying so hard to not show him my face, his smile faded when he sees my tear stained cheeks.
"Are you okay?" He asks me to give me my last book, I muster up weak words and a crooked fake smile
"Yeah". He looks at me with a quizzical look,
"Okay, you're Elise right?" I stood there stunned
"What?" My voice cracks. I sound childish
"Your Elise, right. Are you sure you didn't hit your head" He asked. I shake my head slowly until it gets faster.
"Yes, I'm Elise and I told you I'm fine" I look down at my shoes.
"Ookay, try not to cry in the halls anymore, obviously it messes with your vision" And the idiot is back I can't believe I thought he could be genuine!
"HEY LIAM" I yell as he walks off, he turns around I put up the universal sign for fuck you. He stuck out his tongue mocking me, ughh. I looked back at him, the stuffed shirt, nosy quarterback that just picked up my books asked if I was okay, smiled and mocked me!? Life is getting weirder and weirder by the minute
"EL! WAS THAT LIAM BECKKET!!!!" Alia practically shrieks coming to my side
"Shush! How did you get here so quickly? When you weren't showing up to lunch I got worried and started to search the halls and when I saw you with LIAM BECKKET OMG MY HEART STOPPED." I could feel my cheeks redden.
"Alia SHUSH!"
"I cant what did he talk to you about what does his eyes look like up close what does he smell like!!!" Obviously giddy I roll my eyes at Alias excitement
"SMELL LIKE, Alia come on I just dropped my books" She stares at me like she is going to burst but instead she gives the frenchest answer I didn't even know she could say
"Ah mon meilleur ami idiot, l'amour commence toujours par un sourir" She looks at me amused.
"HEY what did you say!!" We get to lunch as she whispers
"Ah my dumb best friend love always starts with a smile." Her cocky face sends me into laughter.
****
"ELISE" I look up tired of hearing my name being yelled "Yes Mrs.Parker?" I look up at my nimrod of a teacher
"ANSWER MY QUESTION?!?" I discreetly whisper
"Idiot" Then I plaster the fakest smile and return with,
"You never asked a question" She stared at me,
"I didn't?" THIS WOMAN HAS DEMENTIA!
"No you didn't" She babbles on with her pointless lesson. Carson leans over.
"You okay you seemed stressed?" I give him the 'back off' glare
"Oh so it's one of those days, what happened? I take out a sticky note prepared to tell him all about my incident with the quarterback but I can't find my pencil anywhere. Dammit, I must have left it in Mr Setan's room. I pack up my sticky notes prepared for Plan C. We developed a secret language when we were young so our parents never knew what we were talking about.
"I dekconk otni ttekceb" His eyes went wide
"YOU KNOCKED INTO BECK.." my hand covered his mouth before he could mutter the last syllables
"Don't you dare say another word! You hear me!" I seethed he nodded in agreement. I take away my hand to find him grinning like an idiot
"Stop that" I smack his hand
"It was nothing" I assured him and mostly myself '
"mhm" I look him dead in the eyes
"Carson, please" his expression softens
"Fine but if this turns into something" I interrupt him "It won't!" my voice sounds childish and annoying but as long as I get my point across it doesn't matter.
"Elise Enders and Carson Thorne!" Mrs. Parker yells
"Yes" We both squeak.
"Did my teaching interrupt your talking?!" Her voice almost at a screech, I shudder
"No ma'am" Carson answers because I obviously can't. I get flashbacks of the door slamming, screaming, fighting, I close my eyes trying to block it out. I can't take any more of this I scream
"STOP PLEASE STOP!" I cover my ears, tears lining my eyes. I can hear them all whispering about me.
"Carson please take your friend to the nurse, she obviously needs some help." Mrs. Parker grumbled, Carson held out his hand as he helped me stand out of my seat. I glare at Mrs. Parker from across the room hoping she gets the hint that I wish she was six feet under already.
"Elsie?" Carson whispers as soon as we are out of the door.
"Yes?" I whack my head around still feeling salty
"I just wanted to ask yo..." he was stopped in his tracks as someone approached us
"Hey Elise right? I need you" a seething voice directed towards me. I looked up to find Mariah Williams two inches away from me and from the looks of it she had a death threat in mind.
