2 Sides, 1 Story

Alexis

I walk into my Algebra 2 class, hand my teacher my tardy slip, and sit down into my seat. Instead of doing the warmup, I start thinking about Evan. He's so cute I can barely stand it. He's so sweet and awkward and it just makes me want to melt. Too bad I can't have him. I'm a mess in a dress, and I refuse to drag him down. Sure, I'm sweet and bubbly around people, but you can't always take things at face value. The scars on my thighs can prove that. I reeeeeeeeally don't feel like listening to Mr.Richards drone on and on about logarithms, so I tell him I need to go to the nurse. As I'm walking down the hall, a big, meaty hand grabs my arm. I turn around, and there's Bryce. "What the fuck do you want Bryce?"

"I thought I told you to meet me in my car first period." His voice is low and threatening.

"Wow, you think?!? THAT'S a new development."

"I'm getting real sick of your shit Alexis." He grips my arm even tighter, and I wince.

"You know what I'm getting real sick of? This conversation." I say with a smirk on my face. My arm really hurts, but I refuse to let him see it.

"And what the fuck were you doing waiting for Evan at his locker? Why are you even talking to a loser like him when you could be with a god like me?"

At the sound of Evan's name, I feel my smirk disappear. I don't want to talk about Evan with him. "Its none of your business where I go, or what I do. I'm not your girlfriend anymore Bryce." I turn to leave, but he yanks me back.

"Listen to me Alexis", he whispers in my ear,"All you are is a stupid little slut. Everyone knows it, including that little dork Evan. Whatever he wants with you,it's only to get in your pants, because that's all you'll ever be good for." With that, he let's go of me and walks away. I look down at my arm, and I have four big purple bruises from his fingers. I walk into the bathroom and wait for the bell to ring for the ending of third period.
