Hope & Skydancer (Book 1)

Chapter 12

The bullying continued.
I have been called more names than you can imagine, and some of them are not repeatable.

I tried to tolerate Ceci's name calling and taunting. They were just words, and I thought they couldn't truly harm me.

But, soon, she had the other classmates taunting and name calling. She even started a rumor that I purposely caused The accident that cost me my leg. And that was as far from the truth as it gets.

I ignored her taunting and bullying, but she finally reached the final straw.

The final bell had just rung. I made my way out of the school, and I was heading out, going along the stone wall. First mistake.

Ceci and her gossip gang came up to me. She greeted me with her usual greeting.

"Hi Cripple, of to break of some more limbs." She shot me an evil look.

" No, and I'm not a cripple." I hiss at her, staring directly at her eyes, and relying all my wight on my crutches. Second mistake.

"You are a worthless piece of crap!" And with that, she took my left crutch from under me and threw it across the drive. I leg gave way and I fell of the rocky ledge and onto the lower sidewalk.

I hit my head on the pavement. I felt something on the back of my head and on my left "leg". Blood.

"So now what, they gonna cut more limbs off?" Ceci flashed a satisfied smile as she turned on her heels and pushed through the gathering crowd.

My mind began to get fuzzy after that. I heard Hazel calling my name. And a teacher standing above me. Then, everything fell into a black darkness.

My eyes fluttered open. I was in the E.R. My mom and sisters were sitting next to me, along with Hazel on the other side.

"What happened?" I tried to sit up, but winced it pain.

"Ceci happened. You got a minor concussion, busted rib, and a pretty nasty cut on you left leg." Hazel replied, obviously mad at what had happened.

Everything hurt. That was the final straw. I couldn't take the bullying anymore. I mean, even for Ceci, what she did was cold. It took real guts to do that, and be happy with yourself.

Maybe Ceci was right though. What if I really am just in the way, and a cripple. What if I really am worthless. Why did all of this happen to me. WHY ME! Of all of the criminals and murderers out there, I'm the one getting punished.

Maybe, all of the events that are happening, are trying to tell me something.

But what?
