Mari's POV :

I wake up and run to the bathroom, making it just in time not to get vomit all over the floor.

"What a great way to start the day..."

When this annoying process is over, I get ready for school. I really wish I didn't have to go, but the beating would only get worse if I was absent for a day.

I wore the baggiest clothing I had and, afraid of being attacked by Adrien again, I hid a taser in my sleeve. No makeup other than some dark eyeliner.

I wore Damian's reworked turtleneck and hid the necklace he gave me under it

I wore Damian's reworked turtleneck and hid the necklace he gave me under it. It still smells like him, enough to comfort me.

I go downstairs and eat some breakfast, knowing that it won't stay down for long. I talk to Tikki and Wayzz for a while before telling them to hide in my bag so I can go to school, my personal hell.

Walking to school felt like torture. I was a nauseous, anxious mess. I had to stop and sit down a few times when I felt like a panic attack was coming.

I finally made it to class at the same time as the teacher. I didn't listen to the insults thrown my way, I dodged the limbs in my path and made it to my seat.

Mrs. B : Alright class, settle down! Open your books page...

I zoned out. I looked out the window and sketched. All day long. I sketch absent-mindedly. Scribbles, teardrops, clothing, baby clothing, rooms, buildings, dark images, birds, clouds, the rain, thunderstorms, faces, my parents, Chloe, Kagami, Luka, black figures with sadistic smiles, blood, so much blood, different superheroes like Batman, Superman, Nightwing, Redhood, Red Robin, Superboy and Robin, a lot of drawings of Robin, and Damian, my Demon, so many sketches of my Demon, and our futur baby, our family.

The teachers ignored me. The class watched me and whispered. I could hear words like "whore", "slut", "bitch" and other horrendous things being said about me.

The bell rings.

The teacher leaves us unsupervised. I hear the whispers turn into loud chatter.

Adrien : She's such a slut. She wasn't even a virgin. I bet she pays men to sleep with her!

Loud laughter follows, loud enough for me not to hear them approach.

Alya : Hey! Mari-slut!

I didn't look up, I kept sketching my Demon. Big mistake.

Alya : Look at me when I speak to you!

She grabs my sketchbook and looks at it with Lie-la and Adrien.

Adrien grits his teeth with anger-filled eyes.

Adrien : Who's this?

It sounds like he's trying his best not to strangle me.
