Someone to Humiliate

I sat up suddenly.

I groaned.

F*cking nightmares! I'm not one to swear often but at 5 in the morning, a sleep deprived monster is allowed to swear! Come on!

Okay so it's too early to get up and too late to go back to sleep. Brilliant.

I'll just lie here and think then. Maybe that's a bad idea?!

Evan's starting school today! Crap! Well, I've had a friend for a week before he meets the popular kids.

And if Lee has anything to do with it he won't ever talk to me again.

I remember the water fights in his back garden, back when we were best friends.

Yes, I grew up with Lee, as in, Lee Hughes. We were born in the same hospital on the same day, that's how our mothers met. Creepy right!? From that point on our mothers were best friends and we grew up together. Same playgroup, same primary school. We were inseparable ...until his dad had a job transfer to the other side of the country.

We were both devestated, I cried for a week. He left when I was five, a month after she arrived.

So I was more than a little surprised when on the first day of school, I walked into class and saw Lee.

He was nice at first, friendly and charming. Like the Lee that I knew and I was getting better. I hadn't told him of course.

But he saw who I had been turned into, the friek I had been turned into; and from that point on has been horrible to me. Making my life more of a living hell than it was before.

Evan will be the same. He will see how much of a misfit I am and will be Lee Hughes #2. Yay!

*beep beep beep beep beep beep beep be\*

I slammed my hand down onto the alarm to silence it. Ugggghhh! Time to get up with a perky attitude to what's going to be a great day!

Detect any sarcasm? Maybe a little.

I clamber onto the bus, recovering from tripping over. Well, being pushed over. Guess who by?

Some kids behind me snickered. Funny, isn't it, watching the idiot and loner make a fool of herself.

I took my seat directly behind the bus driver. I'm sooooooo glad Evan's not on this bus.

"Hey, Drip" I sigh. Lee's minion no. 1, Charlie Vate. "Drip, loner at the front, friek, how many names do I have to call you before you listen!"

I don't move a muscle. But he does. He comes down the front and grabs my arm dragging me with him to the back.

"W-w-what are you doing?" I stammer. He doesn't reply.

We reached the back of the bus and his seat on the middle of the back row. He sits down on the seat.

"Sit" he orders. I look around, where?! All the seats are full. He is still holding my arm so he pushes me down. I am sitting on the floor.

Minions no. 7 and 8 are sitting nearer the front, on two seats opposite each other. They cross their legs. Now I can't get back.

I panic. What are they going to do?? Apparently a barbie doll sitting next to Charlie though the same thing because she said,

"What are we gunna make her do?"

I'm officially scared now!! Another kid whispered in his ear.

"Great idea Luke!" Charlie said, then he looked firstly at me, "kiss my feet". He laughed at the disguised look on my face.

" Now!" He ordered. I did it and everyone laughed. Brilliant something else for people to talk about.

So that's how I spent the rest of the hour journey, doing ridiculous dares and unable to escape back to the comfort of the front of the bus. They let me go after 55 minutes as I turned to go Charlie tapped my backside with his foot. I whipped around, my face a tomato. He chuckled.

I ran to the front. Tears brimming in my eyes.

That's all I am now. A dares girl. Someone to humiliate. This is the perfect start to the day.

"Lilia!!" Evan cries all too enthusiastically.

"Evan" I reply half heartidly. He gave me a confused expression at my lack of heart. I managed a weak smile. He had no idea!

"You look tired" hello captain obvious! I haven't slept right in 7 years! Hell, I don't even know what sleep is anymore!

Before having to reply to him the bell rang. Either saved or squered by the bell. I don't really know which one?!!

We walked off to our first class of the day, English Lit., a whole hour with Evan and Lee in the same room. This is going to end well for me!

Evan held the door open for me as we walked in,

"Miss Snow!" Ms. Dublin, perky as always, "who is this? A new class member? Lovely!"

Seriously sometimes I cringe at her positivity!

"Yes! Ms. Dublin meet Evan Fields, Evan this is Ms. Dublin"

"How nice it is to meet you dear. You can sit in the spare seat by Lilia in the corner over there" she points to my seat and the abandoned one next to it.

"Okay Ms.! Thanks" how does he sound so casual? The whole class is gawping at him and he isn't flinching or anything. How!!!?! I'm so envious right now.!

I turn and start striding across the classroom to my seat. As I walk past Lee he sticks his foot out and I fall flat on my face.

As I get up surrounded by laughing peers I hear Evan having an argument with Lee...

"Still there was no reason to do that man!"

"Why shouldn't I man? "

"Seriously if I did thta to you right now you would wanna punch me square in the jaw. But no, you can't handle that so you go and pick on a girl. I know she could pack a punch bigger than you, but come on..." I hear him ramble on and smile to myself.

Lee Hughes had met his match.
