Anika's P.O.V
BEEP...BEEP...BEEP
BEEP...BEEP...BEEP"Ugh" I groaned turning off the alarm clock.
Another day going through embarrassment. At my school I don't go a day without getting called "fat" "Mrs.Piggy" or "Big girl". It really hurts when people calls me these things but I don't let them know that it hurts me. I just ignore them most of the time. But in 2 years I'll be out of that hell hole and get to live my life.
I got out of my warm bed into the cold bathroom. I brushed my teeth, took a shower, and washed my face. I don't like dressing up for school so I just put on some leggings , a white pull over, and my all white Jordan's. I straightened my hair and left it down. I always skip breakfast so I was ready for school. But before I go I texted my mom to tell her I was okay and ready for school .
Anika~ Hey Mommy ! I'm about to head out for school. The house is fine and we still have plenty of food left. Love you!
A few seconds later she replied back.
Mom~ Hello sweetie. I hope you have a great day at school. Oh and when you run out of food let me know . Love you always !
Anika~ Okay. Call you later. Bye
Mom~Bye
I grabbed my book bag and headed out the door. I drove to school in my 2014 BMW my mom got me for my 16th birthday.
When I arrived I hurried to my locker so I can hopefully avoid getting harassed by people. I gathered up my things from my locker and walked my way to 1st period, Math class. As I was walking I saw the cutest guy I ever laid my eyes on. He had short curly hair, a caramel skin complexion, a muscular form , and a sexy smile. Girls were already all over him. He must be new. I guess I was lost in a trance since I bumped into somebody.
"Watch it fatty ! You almost knocked me into the lockers across the hall! " Omar yelled.
Everybody looked over at us and starred. I tried to walk past him but he pinned me against the lockers.
"Omar please stop. I'm sorry ." I gasped as he put his hand up in the air ready to smack me.
"Sorry's not enough" he said and he smacked me hard on the right side of my cheek. Tears instantly rolled down my cheeks as I felt the burning pain in my cheek.
"Yo ! What the hell was that for ? You should never put your hands on a girl! " a deep voice said .
I looked up and it was that cute new boy I was looking at earlier.
" So what ! Go back to where you came from newbie " Omar pushed the cute new boy.
Before cute boy could do anything back to him the principal came.
"What is all this about ?" Mr. Collins yelled.
" He slapped that girl for accidentally bumping into him. Look at her, her face is swollen !" Cute boy said looking concerned .
" Omar and Anika come with me , you as well Mr.?"
"August" the cute boy said .
Me, Omar ,and I'm guessing August went with Mr. Collins to talk. I was still sobbing quietly while we walked to the office.
" Hey, are you alright?" August asked .
" Um, Yea. Thanks "
He smiled and we sat down in the chairs in front of Mr.Collins desk.
" Now Anika what problem occurred this morning ?" Mr. Collins asked
" Well I was getting out my books from my locker and when I got them out I was caught off guard by someone. And so I didn't see Omar walking my way so I accidentally bumped into him. And I said sorry but he got mad and slapped me." I sighed.
" Mhm , and Mr. August what part did you play in this?"
" I was defending her. No guy should put their hands on a lady like that. " August said.
" Well I guess the only person I need to give consequences to is you , Omar ." Mr. Collins glared at Omar.
" Man that's not fair ! Her fat self should have never been in my way." He mumbled.
" August and Anika you guys may go. Oh Anika if your cheek still hurts you may go to the nurse. Let me give you two passes."
Mr. Collins gave us our passes and we headed out of his office.
"So, are you going to the nurse? Cause if you are ill walk you." August smiled.
" Yeah I think my cheek bone is broken." I said in pain.
" I hope he gets suspended." August said.
"Me too"
August walked me to the nurses office and went to class. The nurse told me my cheek wasn't broken but it was badly bruised and swollen. She put an ice pack on it to make the swelling go down. I had the choice to stay at school for the rest of the day or go home. I decided to go home and rest my cheek.
When I got home I jumped in my bed to go back to sleep. But all I can think about was August. He was the first person to stand up for me, well except for Julia. But he would never like me, like as a girlfriend. He's too cute and way out of my league. I just wonder why he didn't keep to himself and watch like the other people.
I thought about that question until I fell asleep.
