Monday morning 6:30 am. A new week full of horror.

I set of my alarm and get out of bed, make it up, and go to the bathroom. I actually don't want to go to school today, they've put gum in my hair, put a glitter bomb in my locker, spilled orange juice all over my new shirt. Nope- not again, not today. That's when I hear my mom walking up the stairs.

Lucy- T, come on you're gonna be late for school.
Tamara- Mom, I don't think I can go today...
Lucy- Why? What's wrong, sweetie?
Tamara- I don't know, my head is just pounding and I have this feeling like throwing up.
Lucy- Alright, maybe put on some clothes and I'll get the thermometer to check your temperature.
Tamara- thanks, mom.

She walks back downstairs and I search for a technique to make it look like I'm sick.

When I hear some steps on the stairs again, these are my dad's. He knocked on my door and waited for answer.

Tamara- Come in!

Tim walks inside and comes up to me.

Tim- Everything alright, munchkin?

I nod,

Tamara- Mhm, just not feeling well.
Tim- Yeah, your mom told me... I came by to give you the thermometer, mom is already calling school.

I take the thermometer from him and he leaves. Once he's gone I put my hair in a messy bun, put the thermometer against my nightstands lamp and wait until it's beeping.

Walking back downstairs giving my mom back the thermometer she asks me if I need something, which I left unanswered scared to let my cover fall.

Finally today I could rest.

DAY 2

This morning my mom came upstairs to wake me up. Today I had to go.

Lucy- Hey Tam, are you feeling better?
Tamara- Mhm *I nod* I feel much better, thank you for letting me stay at home yesterday.
Lucy- Of course, sweetie. Now come on, you're gonna be late.

Once she left my room I made my bed and got ready, I tried to look nice so they won't annoy me today.

After breakfast my dad drove me to school.

Tim- Have fun, munchkin. Stay out of trouble.

I hugged him goodbye and got out. Once I was out of the car they came walking up to me.

Leah- So munchkin, had a fun day yesterday?

I try to ignore them and walk away until Charlotte grabs my ponytail.

Charlotte- Don't ignore us, sweetie.

Before I even knew it, I turned around and grabbed her by her throat, staying quiet so I wouldn't start a drama until Stacy starts talking, and oml I hate her voice.

Stacy- Woah, looks like someone's got out of bed with the wrong leg.

I decided to let Charlotte go and went my own way. Everything went like normal until lunch. I went to the school bathroom and ate in my usual spot. It was silent there until I heard the door open and at least 3 girls walked in.

Stacy: Come on Tamara, we know you're in here.

I lifted up my feet so they couldn't see but when I looked up I saw Charlotte's and Leah's faces, they were climbing over the stalls. So I stood up to leave but before I even could stand up properly the door was smashed in my face. So hard it even started bruising.

Leah- Oh sorry, I didn't mean to do that.

Leah tried to sound guilty but just the look in her eyes made me sick to my stomach. I started tearing up from the force that came from the door and the girls left. The next time the door opened were the girls and a teacher.

Teacher- Oh my God, Tamara. Are you okay?
Tamara- Yeah, yeah. I'm fine.

Stacy smiled at me glad that I didn't tell the teachers they were the reason I had a bruise. So I stood up and immediately sat back down on the toilet. The expression on the teachers face changed in less than a second time and she called the school nurse.

Once I got there, she gave me an ice pack and called my parents. My mom, got worried sick so she came to pick me up.

At home I only had dinner and went to my room. Than my father came upstairs to check on me.

Tim- Hey munchkin.

I felt a huge wave of nausea and anger come up.

Tamara- Don't call me that.

My dad looked shocked.

Tim- What? Why?
Tamara- Just don't, please.

Tim- I saw you had fun with your friends this morning.

I got tired of it and snapped out of nowhere.

Tamara- You call them 'friends'?! Well they caused this black eye!

Tim looked again in shock.

Tim- Oh sorry, munchkin. I didn't know that they did that. Wait. Are they the girls that put gum in your hair a few weeks ago?

I nodded silently scared for his reaction, but instead he hugged me tightly.

Tim- I'm sorry, baby girl. I didn't know that they were bullying you. But I'll have a talk with the principal of the school.

I just sat there crying, wanting to scream but nothing but tears came out. I sat there this way for almost 30 minutes.

The next day my dad had a talk with the girls and the principal expelled them and forced them to apologise to me for their behaviour. Ever since I went to school without problems, made friends, found my first love and graduated there.
