I walk into the school grounds seeing people glaring at me. I decided to wear my baggy slipknot shirt and Tripp pants that could be zipped off to be shorts. I wanted to stay home today but knew if I didn't go my dad would scold at me. I walk into the building. I feel this immense pressure of everyone staring at me and gossiping to their friends. I hold back the tears as I walk to the library. I blast deftones in my headset. I grab a sketch pad out of my bag and sit down. It's 20 minutes before class. I chose to get up earlier as I thought less people would be here to see me but I was wrong. I start drawing. I outline a sketch of Eddie. (the mascot from iron maiden) I haven't seen Hunter, Kevin or Emily yet. I cannot believe people would spread that video of me. As 7 words by Deftones starts to play I hear something rip behind me. All of a sudden someone snatches my headset off. In panic I turn around to see two very tall muscly Jocks with their arms crossed. In the middle of them is a blonde. Her hair long and her pink skirt short. Her shirt so tight you see her boobs. Pink high heels and strawberry coloured lipstick. With my headset in her hand she giggles. "Give it back." I mutter angrily. "Or what?" She scoffs. The boys chuckle. "Is your little emo boyfriend going to save you? I don't see him anywhere." She grins. The two boys tightly wrap their arms around my shoulders. I thrash around. "Get off me!" I squeal. The old librarian is too deaf to hear what's happening and hardly anyone is in the library at this time. I kick and screech trying to get them to loosen their grip. They walk out of the library dragging me through the crowded hallway. The hall full of people turn to look at what's happening then take out their phones to record. At the end of the hallway the two boys open the door to the back oval. My knees scrapping the ground. Everyone in a circle surrounding the blonde. They make way for us. As I reach the centre the two jocks chuck me on the ground. I shake in pain. "Get up." The girl groans at me. Spitting on me as I weakly get up. I know no one around me. Though they seem to know me. I've never felt more out of place. Alone. As I finally stand up I see blood covering my legs. She stares dead into my eyes. She bitch slaps me. While it did hurt I couldn't help it but I burst into laughter. I feel the marks she left on my face as I look back at her. "Harder." I mutter under my breath smiling. I just want this to end. She punches me in the face with her other hand. This time it did hurt. Blood starts pouring out of my nose. The blood trickling down to my mouth. I force a bloody smile. Licking my lips. I chuckle and king hit her in the face. She falls straight to the ground. I see a small gap through the crowd as I see everyone getting closer to her to see if she's ok. The two jocks quickly run to me. I just escape their clutches and run through the crowd. I run and run away from these guys. I hear them shouting behind me. I'm already out of breath but I keep running. I am really hoping Hunter saw what I did there. I know Emily didn't see it as she would obviously fight those fuckers with me. I belch out a loud laugh as I push the hallway doors open as I hear them cursing at me. Everyone in the hallway turns and stares at me running for my life. I see Hunter at his locker and wave at him as he looks at me extremely confused. I turn my head behind me to see the boys still on my trail. Hunter notices them then scoffs in surprise. One of the boys starts to scream at hunter as he gets closer to him. Hunter screams and starts running behind me. "What the fuck is happening?" He yells out to me. I can barely breath little lone tell him what's happening so I keep running as he follows. We turn a few corners with everyone laughing and staring at us. I see Kevin peaking his head out of a door to see what the ruckus was. He sees us and rolls his eyes. He gives a hand gesture to tell us to go into that room. Hunter and I both quickly run into the dark room gasping for air. Emily locks the door so even if the two guys do know where we are, they won't be able to get in. I wipe the blood that now covered my shirt. I feel my nose to see if it's ok and realise it was broken. I scream for a second in realisation. All of us get a notification on our phones. I think I know what that is. Emily is the first to check her phone as Kevin is looking at my nose whilst hunter is trying to get his breath back. "Jesus
Y/n." Emily sighs. She puts her head in her palm. She shows the phone to the rest of us. It's a video someone took of the fight. I chuckle as I wipe some blood off my knees. Hunter looks at the phone and then at me. "Now that was hot." He utters as he finally has enough energy to breathe. Kevin starts laughing. "What?" Hunter says confused and a little angry. "I just didn't know you guys were a thing." Kevin says trying not to laugh. "What's so funny?" Emily says to him. "No wonder no one likes us." He gets up and walks out of the room. What did he mean by that? "I'm really sorry Y/n." Emily groans as she walks out to find Kevin. "What did he mean by that." I slowly say as I look at Hunter. He shrugs looking rather sad. Hunter brings me in close with his hand wrapped around my waist. He grabs a tissue from his bag and try's to wipe off some of the blood. He slows down and kisses me on the cheek. "Don't listen to him." He smiles as he nestles his head on my shoulder.
