The Sister

Chapter Sixteen: New Kid

"Hey girls! How is everyone today on this beautiful October day?" I had just arrived at school. Ranessmae dropped me off in her silver Dodge Charger. But before I let the girls answer, my happy-mood-smile, gets beaten into a Oh-my-God-who-is-that-look. New kid. Almost every new kid we get is a girl! Finally this is a boy! We need boys for the girls to date. This boy had short blonde hair, a little round body, and about 5'4'. Immediately Cade walks up to him and they "bro hug."

"Hey Katelyn! This is Alex, he's from Durand, Wisconsin. His family just moved her over the weekend on our street!" Still shocked that this guy was living next to us, I don't answer. Cade continues and turns to Alex, "Alex. This is Katelyn my girlfriend. That's her best friend July, who is dating my bestfriend, Eli." Cade motioned over to July and Eli who are holding hands and smiling. "Dude, Wanna hang tonight?" What?! We had a date tonight over at Cade's house! Alex stood there smiling all innocent and quiet, but finally he spoke.

"We've still got a lot of unpacking tonight, but we could probably hang at your house?"

"Great see you-"pause,"later..."Cade sees my face, and it immediately snaps into that brain of his that we had a date. He mouths 'I'll make it up, promise,' and he walked off into the school leaving Alex standing there. Apperently just him and I stood there alone, because everyone else disappeared.

"Shall we go to class? We have first block together!" I say looking at his schedule in his hand. He looks straight into my eyes, and I see his dark green eyes.

"Let's get this straight bitch. I come before you. Your just a fat slutty whore, who thinks they are so cool, but on the inside a dumb badass loser!" He walked off. Stunned I stood there. About five minutes later our principal came out of the building doors.

"Katelyn you okay? Should I bring Mr. Schindler out here? You've been standing there for five minutes. It looks like you might be in shock, should I call an ambulance?" Mr. Schindler was our school guidance counselor.

I snap out of my shock, "no I'm-I'm..." I break off, and silently let a tear roll down my face. Our principal, Mr. Stone, led me over to the sidewalk, and the two of us sat down.

"Please explain," he looked concerned.

"He-he-he called me a-a, I can't say it. Bad language."

"Just say it, please. Katelyn."

"The new kid, Alex, he-he-he called me a bitch, slut, whore, and-and fat," barely I got the last word out. During the year of fifth grade the whole school knew I was scared of my weight, and kept trying to lose weight, it was horrible. There were comments made by mean people, and the police even got involved. Mr. Stone even learned about it as rumors went around, just as fast as the Plague.

"Oh Katelyn... This is a very serious matter. Im calling the police," still silent, tears took a stroll down my cheeks. Following the cresses of my mouth. Some went down straight, others curved. "Also your grandma."

"Please...no," I whisper sticking my hand out. It was too late. Mr. Stone had already paced over to the office. Once he was completely in the building someone shouted out the window.

"Attention seeking whore! Why don't you just go fuck Cade! We all know you want to," I couldn't handle it. I grabbed my pencil out of my neon pink backpack, and chucked it at Alex's face. Landing right in front of him, he chuckled. "You throw like a girl!"

"Since when is that a bad thing?" I scream at him, all my anger pooling out.

"Since Eve was born! By the way, that throw sucked. I'm not sure how you can play sports, if you suck at everything!" I jumped up. Stomped over to his dumbass head sticking out the window. Where the hell is the god damn teacher already?!

"Get out of my way. And stay away from Cade, Eli, and July! You will never deserve them as true friends, your nothing but a lier and a faker!" The last word struck him like a sword jabbing him in the throat.

"What-what did you just call me?" He chocked on his own words.

"A faker." In that moment the police arrived, and I was taken to their cars to be questioned. So was Alex. All the students stormed out of the 8 doors of the school, plus the back doors. Everyone was wanting to know what happened. When the police men told me to go into the office and I wait for further instructions, I shoved through the crowd, ignoring questions.

"Hey Katelyn! What's wrong?" I ignored him, not in the mood to talk to anyone. Cade grabbed my arm. "Hey. What's up?"

"Not now," I walked into the office, and went to the principal's office. I sat in the grey, bouncy chairs. The police walked in about ten minutes later.

"So we discovered that Alex has been stalking you, and asking around town about you. He was kicked out of his old school, and transfered here. Far away from his family. He lives with his grandparents about five miles from school. Sorry he called you those things, and I'm glad you stood up for your self out there. Sorry about this again, for Katelyn, I'm sorry for all that has happened to you. Alex has been sent to juvey, because in his old town, he umm...he raped a girl nearly, umm...killing her. He was wanted and thank you so much for letting the principal call. Your sister that I never knew of is here to pick you up. Is she truly you sister?" It was officer Mike again!

"Yes, she is." I left school. The students were like the paparazzi trying to photograph Taylor Swift. Questions and questions were asked, but all ignored. Ray picked me up with no questions, which was calming. Silence was what I needed right now. Once we made it home, I hoped out of the car with my bag, and ran to my room. No questions were asked when I past my grandmother. She glanced up, but looked down again.

I slammed my door, locked it, flopped onto my bed, and cried. Missing all 48 text messages from various reasons. But one I did reply to from July. After reading it, I grabbed my pocket knife, and slit my wrists. Ten, twenty times. Finally I was satisfied when the blood completely covered up my hand. I didn't wipe it off, I left it there to remind me that I have a hard life, but so do others. July texted me the most shocking news completely shocking. It was the worst day for the both of us, but her day was so, so much more worse. July texted me:
