**Audri Cooper’s POV**
I walked into the building and kept my head down, biting my lip. I knew that I had to stop the habit, but it’s hard. I felt my skin break a bit and a drop of blood on my tongue. “Hey there, fatty,” A kid said to me, smirking. I just kept my head down, continuing the long walk down the corridor to my locker. “Oh, Fat-Girl’s here?” Someone else called loudly, causing people to snicker.
“I can’t believe you didn’t see her! Or more like hear her!” Another shouted. I felt tears prick at my eyes but no, I couldn’t cry. I wouldn’t cry in front of them.
“Hi Audri,” My best friend Lily said, smiling a bit at me. She goes through almost the same exact thing I go through every day, except she’s bullied for being pretty. She used to be friends with those popular kids, but she told them to screw themselves and soon enough we became friends. This was back in 6th grade. I smiled a bit to her, throwing my locker open and pulling out my math and chemistry books, putting everything else away except for a pencil and my notebook.
“Want to go to the library?” Lily asked, smiling a bit. No one ever went there, so we could sit in the back before school starts in peace. “To the library,” I said to her, smiling as we made our way through the awful hallways.
The day went by like usual. Getting picked on everywhere I went, getting book dropped (someone coming and hitting my books from my hands, in case you didn’t know) and getting picked on some more. It’s become part of my daily routine, it’s my life.
I sighed as I shoved my hands into my pockets, a frown set on my face as I started my long walk home. My parents want me to take the bus, but I don’t like it. More people who shit on me. It’s like, everywhere I go there are people who just want to ruin me. Remind me of how much I suck. I looked up at the cloudy sky and sighed, pulling my hood up as I felt a rain drop hit my forehead.
Before I knew it, it was pouring and I was soaked to the bone and shaking. “Hey there,” I heard someone say behind me. I just ducked my head and walked a little faster. “Hey, you don’t want to talk to her.” I heard another kid say and I bit my lip. Of course, no one wants to talk to me besides Lily.
“Why?” The first kid says. I heard a chuckle, “Look at her. Even from the back you can tell she’s an ugly fuck.” After that for a few seconds I just heard my pace quicken, I don’t want to hear this. I don’t need it.
“She doesn’t look ugly.” I heard the first kid say faintly. “I actually think she’s pretty.” He finished. I smiled a little but then scoffed a bit, turning up to my house and running up the steps and into my warm home; the only place where I’m accepted, the only place where I’m loved. I’m an only child. I live with both my mum and dad who are both gorgeous and hopelessly in love. It’s sickening, but they love me with every fiber of their being.
“Audri?” My mum called. “Hi mom,” I called, dumping my bag on the floor and discarding my coat on the couch. “Put that away.” She said, causing me to sigh and turn to the closet and hang up my coat.
“Want a snack?” My mum asked. My stomach gave a low grumble in return. “Eat.” My mum said, handing me some crackers. I smiled a bit, pushing it away. “I ate a big lunch.” I told her. Lie. I didn’t eat lunch, I never eat lunch. She pursed her lips but nodded, watching me grab my bag and walk upstairs to start my homework.
There’s one other person besides Lily and well, everyone who bullies me, that knows about it and that’s my cousin, Liam. He’s my favorite cousin. He lives in a different country, over in England. But that doesn’t stop me from video calling him and talking to him and such. He doesn’t approve of the bullying, at all, and he thinks I should tell someone but I think that’s a very… wimpy thing to do. Don’t you think? It’s absolutely ridiculous. He doesn’t know that I starve myself. He doesn’t know that I just don’t want to eat. I think my parents are catching on that I am again, though.
I sat on my bed and grabbed my laptop, signing onto Skype and seeing that Liam’s online. I smiled and was about to chat him when he chatted me. “Lee lee!” I said happily, smiling at him. “Dri!” he said, smiling back. “I miss you.” He said, pouting. I rolled my eyes at him. “I miss you too, I guess. But I still have another five months of school left. I won’t be seeing you for five more months. Ugh.” I said, pouting a bit. He rolled his eyes and smiled at me.
We talked for a few hours before he said he had to go pack for his newest tour. He never told me where he was going, but he always sent me post cards. “Bye,” I said, waving before the line was dead.
