Crybaby
They call me crybaby.

I pushed myself further into the corner as the girls kicked me.
"Crybaby! Crybaby!" They chanted.
"Stop,please!" I begged.
"Get away from her!" A boy yelled.
The girls turned around and then ran off. I wrapped my arms around my body. The boy pulled me into his arms and I freaked out.
"Hey it's okay." He said pulling me closer.
I cried into his chest as he stood up. I was covered in cuts and bruises as tears stained my cheeks.
"I want the world to go away." I cried.
"Don't say that you're wanted." The boy said.
He took me to the nurse and laid me on the bed. Only then did I notice his hair matched his eyes. The nurse ran over to me and wrapped up my cuts.
"Melanie sweetie I'm going to call your parents." She said.
"No, please don't." I whimpered sitting up.
"Can I take her home." He asked.
"Yes as long as Melanie is okay with it." She said.
I shook my head no. She gave me apologetic eyes and let me lay down.
"Get back to class, Tyler." She said.
He ran out of the room and down the hall. I had perfect vision of him from where I was laying. He started to run down the hall and a teacher caught him. I giggled as he tried arguing with Mrs.Alan.
"Melanie do you want to come with me today?" Nurse.Griffith asked.
"Yes ma'am." I said.
"Okay sweetie lay down and go to sleep if you want." She said handing me my bear.
I got up and ran behind her desk. I laid down on the blankets under her desk and fell asleep with my bear.
She woke me up an hour later. I grabbed my bear and stuffed in in the drawer. I walked to the bathroom across the hall. I saw some girls in the stalls laughing.
"So did you get the pictures." One said.
"Yeah. This is going to be great." The other one said.
I didn't think anything about it and washed my hands.
"Hey crybaby." They said walking out.
My eyes started to water as I walked back across the hall. I was welcomed by nurse.Griffith grabbing my bag.
"Come on Melanie." She said.
I walked out with the nurse to her car. We got to her house and she let me in. I stayed over at her house for about three hours. I had milk and cookies as we looked at our vintage toys collection.
"Bye Melanie." Nurse.Griffith said as I walked out the door.
I turned down my street finding my dads car in the driveway mums missing. I walked to the side and snuck in through my window. I ran to my closest and switched into my pjs. I ran and jumped in bed snuggling my bear to my chest.
I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I jumped up and got my clothes for the day and ran to my bathroom. I jumped in the shower and washed the dirt off my body. I jumped out and dried myself off. I looked in the mirror and saw there was a tad bit of my natural color showing.
I ran to my room and grabbed my wig and put it on. I put my clothes on and ran down the stairs. I grabbed my bag and ran out the door. I walked home having a good feeling about today. I walked down the hall and people started to point and laugh at me. I walked further tears welling up in my eyes. I saw on the board and the lockers where pictures of me with my bear and pacifier. I quickly pulled them all down and threw them in the trash. I ran to the library and hid behind the book shelves, doing the only thing I know how to do right.
Cry.
