The Cutter's Lover

Tori's P.O.V

"Victoria McMillian to the guidence office please." While sitting in homeroom that announcement went off. Poeple's heads twisted towards me as I picked up my things and walked to the guidence office. Walking down the bare hallways kinda creeped me out, I was just waiting for somebody to pop out of no where and scream 'Boo!'

I knocked on the door and heard a cheery 'Come in!' from inside. I slowly pushed open the door to see not only one head, but two. Mrs. Quinn and a boy. He looked roughly my age, maybe older. Really light hair and broad shoulders (I was looking at him from the back.)

Sitting down in the chair I could literally feel the awkward tension in the air. I looked over to the boy next to me and saw he had soft facial features. He was twiddling his thumbs as his hair fell into his eyes.

"Victoria meet Grant, he's a new student and just got transferred from a boarding school up north." She smiled and Grant was still messing with his thumbs. I just sat there looking at him. He was very good looking from a profile view.

Mrs.Quinn smiled and then shooed me away to walk Grant to his classes.

"Hi Grant, I'm Victoria but everyone calls me Tori." He looked over at me, I'd never seen his eyes before but they were extremely dark. Grant smiled and small smile and I blushed a little.

"Hi Tori." His voice was also really deep too. Luke's face flashed across my mind and I couldn't help but smile.

"What are your classes?" Grant asked, I quickly rattled off my classes to him.He nodded his head and looked through his own.

"We have most of the same classes together." Grant was right, we had every class together. All of the same classes I had with Luke too. I meantally face palmed how am I going to spend time with Grant and Luke. Boys. We wandered through the hallways until the bell for second period rang. Walking all the way to Thematics English 11. I heard small whispers coming fromaround Grant and I since he was new and fairly good looking. Finally reaching the door we walked in side by side. Mr. Andrews smiled towards Grant and I took my seat in the front.

"Hey princess." Luke kissed my cheek, I smiled and pecked Luke on the lips. I heard someone make a gagging noise and it was none other than Amber. Luke sent her a glare and was returned a kissy face, now I was the one making gagging noises.

"Hey Tori, can I sit next to you?" Grant asked, I smiled up at the new kid and gestured to the seat on my left.

"Slutbag, who is your new boytoy?" Amber asked, bating her eyelashes at Grant who was being oblivous towards her. I laughed in my head, her supposed "charms" weren't working on him.

"He's off limits whore, he just moved here and doesn't need a hoe following him around. He's not a pimp." Luke laughed and I heard Grant chuckle a little next to me. I had no clue where these sudden outursts were coming from, but they were kind of scaring me.Amber made a disugusting noise and sat down as Mr.Andrews started the lesson on Shakespeare.

******

I walked towards the lunchroom hand in hand with Luke with Grant walking beside me. The only class Grant and I didn't share was last period, which was kinda sad becuase I like having two friends with me the whole day. Entering the lunch room, the whole area fell silent as I walked in. I wanted to disapear or go hide in a corner like usual. I absoulutely despised attention. That's why I hid in the librbary or ate lunch in Mr.Andrews classroom workingon the next assignment. Anything to ge tme out of social siuations.

I was hearing so many tiny whispers like.

"She goes to our school?" or "Why is that ugly mess dating or even near Luke?"  I tried to unlace mine and Luke's fingers and walk away but he wouldn't let me. It was highly frustrating, I let out an annoyed sigh as the three of us walked into the lunch line.

"Luke I'm not hungry." I whispered, he looked back at me. Clearly not believing me, he pressed his lips to my ear and whispered,

"Don't lie to me." Flash of my father came running to the front of my memory, touching, feeling, hitting. Everything, I began to panic. Looking around I let go of Luke's hand and fast walked into the bare hallways and sprinted to the bathrooms leaving behind Luke and Grant calling my name.

The urge.

The  feel of the small blade.

I finally get to the bathroom while hypervenalating and opened the first stall and slammed the door shut locking it and sliding down the door and began to cry while thinking. "Why me?"
