The Wallflower

Chapter 9

Chapter 9:

I pity myself.

I always wonder why people pick on others who are weaker than them.

The homeroom teacher walks in and welcomes us and asked about our breaks. Then he called my name and asked me to introduce myself to everyone.

I was hesitant but Cher kept nagging me, so I stood up and went in front of everyone.

I looked straight to the wall, I’m always petrified when I’m asked to introduce myself or give speeches or just share something.

I just exhaled and eat up my situation anyways I’ll be here for a very long time.

“Hi! My name is Allison Morgan. I’m a transfer student from New York.” I said in a low voice, once I finished it I went straight to my chair.

The rest of the hours drifted off and it was already time for recess.

Cher told me to come with her to the cafeteria and I also agreed. Harry told us he’ll be with Zayn and Niall.

So Cher and I walked in the corridors going to the cafeteria. I was horrified by the lingering stares of other students.

“Don’t mind them.” Cher whispered to me.

We continued walking and reached the cafeteria. Cher leads me to a table she told me she’ll treat me and I just need to wait for her here.

I sat down and looked around, the school is amazing. But the stares still bother me.

I took a book out of my bag and started reading it when three girls approached me.

“Hey! You’re the newbie, right?” The blonde one asked me.

I didn’t response.

“Hey! She’s talking to you.” The brunette snaps at me.

I drop my book and stared at them.

“Come with us.” The blonde one offered.

What does she wants from me. I feel like I’m in the movie ‘Mean Girls’.

“Come on.” The raven haired said and pulled me out from the chair.

I had no choice because they we’re already dragging me. I bet Cher will worry where I went.

They brought me to the Chemistry laboratory and it was deserted. Of course, no one’s there since it was recess.

They all stood in front of my while they push me to sit on the chair. It was like I’m in a trial testifying for a homicide case.

I just looked at them without saying a word.

“She’s not even that pretty.” The brunette-girl said.

“Agree.” The others said in unison.

“Do you know who we are?” The blonde one asked.

What a silly question. Obviously I don’t, I’m a newbie.

Instead of letting out a witty comment all I did was shook my head.

“Of course love, you don’t but we also know nothing about you but you’re so pathetic.” The raven-haired said to me.

Well that’s mean. What did I do to them, they know nothing about me but they’ve judged me.

“Where just gonna ask you a simple question.” The brunette one said twirling a lock on my hair.

They are scaring me already. I’m already bullied even if I’m doing nothing.

“Why are you walking with ‘The Five’?” The blonde one asked.

What? Who’s ‘The Five’? Oh my…of course they’re the five. What did I get myself into?

“You mean those boys?” I asked.

“Oh my god, she called them ‘those boys’ how dare you?” The raven one reacted.

Wow, don’t tell me they’re obsessed with those guys. This is epic.

“You’re such a rat!” The brunette one shouted out.

“You act like you’re so special, you’re gonna pay for this.” The raven-haired said and she was holding a pair of scissors and she was pointing it towards me.

What is wrong with these girls? They’re so stupid, acting like they praise those guys.

“What did I do to you?” I asked in a minimal tone.

“What did you do? You intervene with ‘The Five’s’ morning walk and you act so close with Harry alongside that wretched Cher.” The blonde one finished and she was foaming in the mouth.

What in the name of pilgrim are they reacting? They are crazies.

Then the brunette one and the blonde one hold my arms very tightly. I was squirming but it was no use their grip was strong like it was a hand-cuffs.

Then the raven-haired came closer to me and she was touching my face with the scissors.

“We’re gonna teach you a lesson not to mess with us and stay away from ‘The Five’.” She said getting a bunch of my hair and she was twirling it closer to the scissors.

Was she planning on cutting my hair? They’re mental. But I was already panicking.

I screamed at the top of my lungs and I kept on repeating the word, HELP!

Then the door burst open and the girls that were holding me let go.

I looked at my wrist and they were red.

“What do you think you’re doing?” I recognize that voice it was Louis’.

And other two figures followed him, it was Harry and Zayn.

Am I gonna be thankful that they arrived or things are just gonna get worse?

“Uh…nothing Lou, we’re just talking.” The raven-haired replied and she hid the pair of scissor behind her back.

“You have no right to call me Lou.” Louis said flatly and he went to me.

“You three are unbelievable!” Zayn blustered out.

“If Cher didn’t tell us that you came to her, what were you planning on Allison?” Harry told them.

“We were just talking to her, asking her some questions because she’s new and she’s American.” The blonde one reasoned out.

“Were they really?” Louis looked at me.

What was I supposed to say, they are bullying me because of you.

“Uh…?” I started out.

“We we’re just talking to you, right?”The brunette eyed me and had a tight grip on my shoulder.
