Raven - Feather [Discontinued]

~~~^*^~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Walking to class, my head stayed down. I may have bumped into a few people, but it wasn't as bad as them seeing me with puffy eyes and being close to tears.

In English, it was.. okay. Luckily I'm sat at the back, so no one saw me when I accidentally let a tear roll down my cheek, or when I placed my head in my hands, silently sniffling.

Maddie has been ignoring me all week. The only person I've been able to talk to is Owen, and he doesn't really know how to comfort a sensitive girl...

Last lesson of the last day of the week, and I can finally cry alone, with the only person to worry about being my useless father.

The only thing is, it's Maths. I absolutely despise it, except when we have a substitute, but that rarely happens. I shuffle into the warm room and seat myself at the very back, out of anyones view. Hot and sweaty from running up the stairs too quickly, I ignore my health and tighten my jumper.

If ANYONE caught me crying or sniffling, I would be bullied for the rest of the year.

"Raven?"

.....

"Raven! Listen to what I'm saying or you'll have to visit me after school."

Snapping my head up, I only just realised I had dozed off halfway through class, and the teacher was staring intently at me, sharp, pointy nails tapping on the wooden ruler clutched in her bony hands.

We made eye contact for a few seconds, before she turned around to face the rest of the class. Oh god.. she's going to tell me off...

Hyperventilating quickly, I listened to her rant about sleeping in class.

"You see, this is why we do NOT sleep during class. You will earn an after-school detention from me, humiliation from the class-"

Humiliation..?? No..no..no..

"-and you will end up losing learning time! Now. Does anyone have a problem with this? If so, tell me and you can also earn a detention. Finish the worksheets while I go grab photo-copies of of the extension sheet. Do NOT do anything stupid or arrogant while I'm gone."

She left the classroom with her tall heels clicking along the floor, ruler in one hand and a pile of blank paper in another. Students peered through the door to make sure her brown - blonde ombre hair was gone, and one by one they stared at me. Must.. not.. cry...

But this time, it didn't work. A single tear, small and obscene, slid down my rosy cheek. The room went silent. Every. Single. Person was staring at me with fascination, as if seeing someone cry was interesting and full of drama. Popular girls were whispering to each other, and giggling.

Suddenly, someone from the front burst out laughing, and pointed at me. Everyone else joined in, uncertain whether they would be bullied if they didn't.

I was a laughing stock, a clown at the circus. More tears started forming, and before I could stop it, I was crying loudly with everyone pointing and laughing at me.

Breathing heavily and standing up, I tried to cover my face, but it was no good. The damage was already done, and there was no reversing what happened.

Jűśț ľěăvë mĕ āłøňě...

Įm.. bêğģīńğ... ýöū...

"CRYBABY!!"
"OMG Ravens crying!!"
"HAHA SHE TOTALLY DESERVED IT, LMAOO"
"She's so pathetic..."

The words stung like a bee, and my mind felt dizzy from everyone overcrowding me with laughter. Without realising, i fled the room with tears streaming out my eyes. There was no stopping it now, in a couple of days everyone would know about 'what happened in Maths class and why Raven was acting like such a baby'

I wanted to scream, shout, just anything that would rid me of this tiring anger. In the end, I locked myself in one of the girls toilets, and cried as lessons carried on.

"ℑ𝔱𝔰.. 𝔫𝔬𝔱.. 𝔶𝔬𝔲.. 𝔦𝔱𝔰... 𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖒."

"𝔭𝔞𝔱𝔥𝔢𝔱𝔦𝔠..𝔠𝔞𝔫𝔱..𝔢𝔳𝔢𝔫..𝔰𝔥𝔬𝔲𝔱..𝔞𝔱...𝔰𝔬𝔪𝔢𝔬𝔫𝔢.."
