The next morning, do my same routine, get the same warning from Aron, except with the phrase "Three strikes and you're out!"

As I get to my locker, I see Bella walking up to me with a concerned face. Probably because she sees the big red mark on my cheek. "What happened to your face?!"

"Gee thanks." I retort.

"I'm serious."

"I fell down the stairs and cut my cheek." I lied. I really wanted to say my demon of a boyfriend scratched my cheek because I told a boy I couldn't tutor him.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry!"

"It's fine, it doesn't hurt too much."

"Here take some makeup to cover up your scratch." She hands me some foundation and powder.

"Thanks you're a life saver!"

I took my seat beside Bella in class. The teacher walked in saying, "I have news!"

"This class will be getting a new student from Australia, so I will need someone to show him around campus! Lily, you will show him around campus and tutor him after school. I chose you, because you haven't participated much in class."

My heart dropped. How do I tell Aron? How am I supposed to talk to a BOY? All boy encounters have been horrible. Either beating me up, making fun of me, or harassing me. I'm literally terrified of guys. That's the reason why I haven't left Aaron yet.

I get to my locker and see Aaron standing there with his friends. He pushes one of the guys and his books fall all over the floor. "Hey dirtbag, pick up his stuff." Aaron says.

"But-"

"I said pick up his stuff!" He spats.

I bend down and pick up all of the guy's books.

"Here." I say not looking at him. The guy just laughs and walks away.

"Hey babe. Guess what?"

"What."

"You're going to be skipping your next class."

He slams me into my locker. And punches me in the nose. I cry out as he pushes me to the floor and leaves. I go to the bathroom and lock myself in a stall.

I try to steady my breathing. I go to the sink and splash some water on my face. I go back to my class and the teacher isn't too happy, but when she sees the bruise on my head, her expression softens and she tells me to take a seat.

Now I have to think of a way to tell Aaron about this Australian kid...
