Alone

Chapter 5

TW* bullying ,blood and some cussing 

I gulped and pushed the door open. As soon as I walked in the school everyone stared at me and started whispering. I walked down the hall towards my locker and the whispering grew even louder. "She's such a freak" I heard someone say and then I heard laughing. I tried to ignore the stares as I opened my locker but the whispering and teasing was to much. To angry to ignore it, I whipped my head around and stared at the girl who called me a freak and she quickly turned and walked away, her friends followed close behind her. I sighed and grabbed my books out of my locker and slammed it shut. I hate this school.

The bell rang as I stood up and grabbed my book bag and swung it onto my back. "Remember to do your homework!" The teacher shouted as all the students started to leave. I left the classroom and headed for the cafeteria. I looked down for a split second and when I looked up Amelia and that boy from the mall, Nate down the hall from me walking towards me. Oh no. I turned around and headed away from them. Suddenly someone grabbed my bookbag and yanked it, pulling me backwards. I turned around and Amelia stood laughing while nate was right in front of me. "Freak!" He yelled as he pushed me and I fell back but I was able to catch myself before I fell. I was scared to leave but I couldn't stay here. "You're a disgusting little bitch!" He yelled as he pushed me against a locker, pinning me there. " Stay away from my girlfriend and me or you'll regret it" he whispered then shoved me against the locker. My head stung and I winced as he growled at me and then walked off with amelia. I watched them go and Amelia turned around and smirked then laughed as she and Nate kept walking.

I brought my hand up too the back of my head and winced in pain as I felt something wet on my fingers. I looked at my hand only to see blood. Oh god.

I needed a bathroom. I ran down the hall, and into the girls bathroom as fast as I could. I looked in all the stalls to make sure nobody was here before locking the door. I went up to the sink and washed the blood off my hand. I grabbed some paper towels and started dabbing them on the back of my head where the blood was coming from. I whimpered as pain shot through my head every time I touched it. I threw the bloody paper towels away and got some more I kept wiping the blood off my head but it wouldn't stop bleeding. I got an idea.  I grabbed my book bag off my back and pulled a black beanie out of the side pocket. I put it on the counter and grabbed a bunch paper towels. I folded them up really thick and pressed them against the back of my head. It hurt so bad but I kept them there as I grabbed the hat and pulled it over my head so it would keep the paper towels in place. I shifted the hat so it would stay, the hat was snug so the paper towels didn't move much.

Realization of what had just happened hit me after I had handled the blood. Nate was a horrible person and Amelia was no better. She must have told everyone in school about me. Now they hate me. I sat down on the cold tile and leaned my back against a wall. I hate it here.

Tears soaked my cheeks as I sobbed and whined."Why me!?"  I yelled out loud to nobody. I grabbed me bag and held it close to me as I cried. My eyes started to sting from all the tears. I sniffed and wiped my face with my sleeve but the tears kept coming. I'm so pathetic, one person make fun of me or hurts me and I do this. Now I can't even stop crying. I told myself I was being dramatic and pathetic. Maybe I'm over reacting, not likely though. That little you know what made me bleed for God's sake. That reminded me to change out the paper towels I'm my hat before I left. Oh no lunch is probably over now I had to hurry up. I stood up and walked to the sink. I hurried and took off my hat and the paper towels fell on the counter. They weren't completely soaked but it was bad. I quickly threw them away and put new ones in my hat. Someone jiggling the doorknob made me jump. I grabbed my bag off the floor and wiped the drops of blood off the counter then ran up to the door and unlocked it. I hid myself behind it as someone opened the door. The door started to close as the girl went into a stall and I grabbed it as soon as she closed the stall door. I slipped out into the hall and quietly shut the door.
