                                              10:49.
                          "Loser!"
                          The side of her face landed on the floor. It stung, her cheek throbbing as she pushed a hand underneath her, her form - slowly, shakily but steadily - rose.

                          Laughter - shamelessly loud - echoed behind her. She let herself look over her shoulder, the corners of her lips perked up. 
                          None noticed. (A redheaded boy did, and only shot her puzzled look, before scurrying away.)
                          Back on her feet, she tucked a few fallen strands of her hair behind her ear - and caught sight of two teachers nearby, apparently in mid-discussion.
                          Their gazes grazed her, eyes quick, but they did not approach.
                          Bye, she thought, and willed her feet forward.
