Here goes nothing, today would be my first day back after my relationship was broadcast to the whole school. Rumours spread quick at my school and I knew by now everyone would know. My weekend was spent trying to piece my heart back together- I hadn't spoken to anyone this whole weekend about what had happened. My dad knew something had happened as he caught me coming back after everything went down. If I didn't talk about it, I didn't have to think about it, it was in the past now and that was where it had to stay.
It felt different walking into school today, eyes were glued to me followed by hushed conversations. I had never felt more exposed than right now. Luckily no one had seen the pictures that would've made the whole situation 10x worse. When I got to my locker Jules and Taylor were waiting for me,
"I'm sorry for everything." Taylor states.
"it's in the past."
"You need people on your side right now, we are willing to overlook who you are with. We don't want you to be alone."
"Who I was with." I correct.
"Oh okay, just know we are here for you and Taylor is very sorry for what she said."
"I am also sorry for what I said, it was all uncalled for."
"Group hug!" Jules exclaims bringing all three of us in for a hug.
It felt like old times the three of us walking the halls together gossiping over random stuff. Only difference between then and now is that we no longer were invisible. I wanted so desperately to know what they were saying, Jules warned me that it was not good and that I definitely do not want to know. Homeroom was a break from the whispers as no one would dare say anything if I could hear them. I knew English would bring up some issues but I was somewhat prepared.
Turns out I was not prepared; the comments were worse and no one cared to hide them. One group of girls were particularly bad, as we were waiting for the teacher to come the class was scattered all around the classroom. one-person even sat on the desk, "I don't know if you want to sit there, god knows what Bella did on that desk." Well that comment was uncalled for but it elicited a disgusted reaction from the person leaning on the desk and sniggers from my classmates. Me on the other hand I buried my head in my hands. "Awe look Bella's embarrassed, poor little teacher's pet." The same person spoke. My only response was a middle finger.
Fortunately, the teacher had come in by that point and that soon shut her up, well it didn't shut her up completely- she was still whispering to her friends. Taylor shot me a sorry glare and I shrugged it off. Work was my only distraction and it was a good one until another English teacher came in and requested my work from the year, they could have been more discreet about it. Before I could think about it, I got out of my chair and approached the teacher, "may I ask why you are taking my work?"
"We just have to double check these grades are the ones you should've been given."
"I can assure you the grades are all correct, I received no special treatment. In the classroom I was just his student."
"This is nothing against you, this is more about Mr Henry. Now go back to working your finals are approaching and you don't need any more distractions."
As I walked back to my set, I hear someone laugh about how I can't always sleep my way into special treatment. That's it I have to say something. Taylor shook her head at me knowing what I was about to do. "Sienna, is it?" I ask gaining her attention, "do you mind keeping your thoughts to yourself I am kind of sick of overhearing your worthless opinions."
"I don't care what you think Bella, I'm only saying the truth. You were desperate for attention and you found it in our English teacher."
"May I point out that you at one point had a crush on him, remember valentines?"
