Ding! Ding! Ding!
I rushed through the door to catch up to the bus. The bus stopped about 10 inches away from me. I got on and sat at the front, laying my book bag on the chair.

Oh, my bad, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Raven Goldings. Yeah, I know, weird last name. I pray that my future husband allows me to take on his last name. I think Washington would be cute.

Oh, you must be wondering who my future husband is. He goes by Ashton Washington, but I call him Ashy bear. He has nice night-dark hair, and slender muscles and he's about 6'2. Which does compliment my height; after all, I'm 5'5.

I look in the mirror to touch up my makeup, and there I see myself with beautiful chocolate skin and dark brown curls. I'm wearing skinny jeans that hug my curves with a brown round-neck sweatshirt. I need to look good for him.

The bus halts to a stop. I get off, making sure to check myself again, I quickly get inside pacing to my locker.

"Who do we have here... it's little Birdy."

That's Sharen the typical blonde bully.

"Did you make sure to bring my lunch money or do I have to teach you a lesson again?" She said with a snarl.

Oh, how could I forget... last year she humiliated me in front of the whole school just because I forgot to give her 20 dollars.

She first gave me a swirly while there was still feces in the toilet bowl. She recorded the process and airdropped it to the whole school, but that's not it. She labeled me as the "Queen of turds." She convinced the whole school that I had a fetish for shit.

Which isn't true by the way. She even took it a step further and made an Instagram account dedicated to me. The profile is a picture of my head dipped in a toilet filled with feces. Majority of the school follows it. The posts are a document of my whole 3 years of humiliation at Westy High.

I sometimes wonder, what did I do? Why does she hate me with every living soul of her body? Why does she want to ruin my life? We were friends back in middle school. She was the person I could trust. What changed? She instantly started bullying me on the first day of freshman year. She made me feel useless. She ruined my freshman, sophomore, and junior year of high school. I won't let her ruin my senior year.

I'm just glad that Ashton wasn't there that day, I wouldn't even bother showing up to school. He gives me a reason to come to school and deal with this constant bullying. He makes me feel alive.

"It's ok Sharen I made sure not to forget this time, here." I handed her 20 dollars and quickly tried to leave.

"Where tf do you think you're going." She grabbed the top of my sweatshirt yanking me back but instantly loosened her grip.

The whole hall stopped and they were all looking at the front door. I slowly turned my head. There he was. Wearing black pants, a white tank top, and a leather jacket. There he was my knight and shining armor. He came at the right time to save me from this wicked witch. He came to save ME his princess.

"Ashton baby I missed you."
