*beep* *beep* beep*
The sound of my alarm clock awoke me alerting me to get out of bed and start getting ready to go to the hell hole that others know as school.
I'm definitely not one of those pretty, long haired popular girls. Oh no. I'm the complete opposite. And no, I'm not a nerd. I'm what some might classify as 'emo' because I like the colour black. I hate how quickly people just label you due to what you wear or what music you listen to. Like.. seriously? It's the 20th century. Get a grip and move on for god sake. But yes, apparently I'm a 'emo' because I like to wear the colour black and like rock and metal bands.
I switched my alarm clock off and slowly crawled out of my tiny bed and into the bathroom. I turned on the hot water in the shower and got it. The hot water stung the deep cuts that covered my thighs. Yes guys... I'm sorry to say.. but I do self harm. I have for a long long time due to all the bullying i have received throughout my whole life. You see, since a young age I've always received a ton of shit from people about my appearance and the clothes I wore. Even at nursery the girls would pull my hair and throw toys at me because apparently I wasn't 'normal' I liked to keep myself to myself. I was a quiet child back then. And then slowly i started to get along with boys better because they didn't care about my clothes and how i looked. They were just so relaxed about everything. And so from then on i stuck with my group of friends who were guys. But that didn't stop anything. The girls always called me a freak because i wasn't into barbies, I was more into football and sports and building dens in the woods. And to this day, I'm apparently different. But now I'm a 'slut'. There's just no escape from the bullies. They follow you everywhere. Due to the thing called internet, the bullies can follow you home.
You have nowhere to hide.
I quickly washed my hair and body and jumped out the shower before the hot water runs out.
I started brushing my long blonde hair and put it in a french plat so i dont have to put any heat on it. I put on a little bit of makeup so i don't look like a zombie. My dark circles are just.. ugh. I walked over to my small chest of drawers and picked up my black Of mice and men t-shirt and my favourite black skinny jeans.
Suddenly, my phone started ringing.
" Hey girl, are you nearly ready? I'm nearly at yours. I'll be there in 10" said Maya.
Maya has been my best friend since she moved schools in year 5 when we were in primary school. She's stuck with me for all those years unlike the boys. They slowly forgot about me when they hit puberty and started falling for the easy popular slutty girls. I'm so thankful that I've had maya by my side, I don't know what i would have done without her to be honest. She's been a really big support throughout the tough times in my life.
" Hey yeah I'm nearly done I'm just going to grab my bag and make some quick breakfast"
" Okay cool I'll see you in a bit girl. Love youuu!"
" Love you too!"
I quickly grabbed my bag and walked out of my room and into the kitchen to make myself a quick bowl of cereal before Maya gets here.
I grabbed my favourite cereal. Krave. And poured some into my little bowl and poured some milk over it.
Just as i was finishing my breakfast i heard Maya pulling up so I grabbed my bag and headed out the door to meet Maya outside the block of flats that I lived in.
" Hey baby girl" Exclaimed Maya while giving me a big hug.
I returned the hug and jumped into her black Range Rover. And off we went to the worst place in the planet.
School
