Unbreakable

Chapter 7

I sat next to Ryder in the office waiting for the nurse to call him. I grabbed his other hand and squeezed it. He squeezed mine back.

The nurse finally came in, "Alright let's take a look."

I watched as the nurse studied Ryder's hand, "And how did this happen?"

Ryder glanced at me, 'school policy' I mouthed, every new student had to read the school policy and it said our school would not tolerate fighting even if it was outside of school.

"Um I punched a wall." He lied quickly

"Uh huh right." The nurse said as she wrapped his hand. "Alright there you go, you're all set. Now get to class you two."

We looked at each other and smiled.

I walked into my second period, English and took my seat in the back as my teacher Mr. Sillun had his back turned to the class as he wrote on the white board.

"Nice of you to finally join us Ms. Middeton."

"Traffic." I mumbled

"Oh yeah, is that right slut? Someone just texted me a picture of you and Ryder walking into school. You two must have been really busy in the back seat if you know what I mean." One of the students Ricky said loudly, the class laughed

"Hey! That'll be enough Ricky." Mr. Sillun told him

My face burned, "We weren't doing anything." I whispered. But it didn't matter because no one was listening.

Class went by fast, the bell rang and I was the first person out. I ran to the bathroom and shut and locked the door. Why did this have to happen? Does everyone really think I'm a slut? This is all Carter's fault. I swear to god when I see him, I'm gonna punch the fuck out of him. I sighed and wiped my tears. I left the bathroom and headed to my third period, Algebra. I barely made it as the bell rang signaling the start of class.

I took my seat behind Emma, she turned around and gave me a look of disgust, "Who knew you were just wanting to keep him to yourself like the greedy slut you are." She spat

"It's not like that I swear. I was going to tell you all about him." I told her

She scoffed, "Yeah right." She turned back around flipping her hair on my desk

I eyed the back of her head, hmm. I reached into my bag and took out some scissors. I gently grabbed a chuck of her hair from the root, and snipped it off. I let the chopped off hair fall to the ground. I shoved my scissors back into my bag and decided to get into character. I inhaled then exhaled.

I tapped Emma's shoulder, "Your hair!" I exclaimed pointing at the ground

"Oh my god!" She gasped, grabbing the hair on the floor, "My hair!"

Mr. Sillun at this point noticed what was going on and asked, "Ladies, is there a reason why you two are causing a disturbance in my class?"

"My hair fell out!" She told him

He sighed, "And what would you like me to do about that?"

"Can I go to the nurses office? This could be fatal!"

He wrote on a slip and gave it to her, "Sure have at it."

I smiled evilly as I watched her go, that's what she gets.

Did I feel a little bad? Nope I didn't and I would do it again too. Time passed so slowly but it also didn't help that I kept glancing at the clock every five seconds. Part of me was excited to see Ryder again and the other part was nervous, would things change if he gave into the rumors? Did he even care? I mean he's defended me before that was great but he wouldn't be able to defend me every time something happened. He wasn't my bodyguard or anything. I'd have to learn to protect myself and look out for me. I was doing a good job so far. Now there was just facing Carter and Ames. God I hated them so much. I wanted to murder them, but not actually kill them or anything. I just wanted them to hurt. To know exact how I feel now after what they did to me.
