"Hey Nick pass me the ball!!"
"Here you go mate"
I turn to look at Nick and my brother. "I hate them" says Mike. I turn my head to him and slowly nod. Well they do bully us. Everyday.
"Well I don't hate them but...but" Mike gives me a 'really look'. I sigh. "Ok fine I-"
Suddenly I get hit in the head. The force of the throw making me fall down. My books and papers fly around the parking lot. My head throbs. It hit the blacktop hard I felt dizzy.
"MIA! YOU'RE BLEEDING!WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT JOSH!!!" I was bleeding? That would explain that red spot on my hair...Wait Josh? He threw something at me? A ball probably....Why is it getting dark?

I slowly wake up to people talking. I couldn't see very well who they were my vision was a little blurry. So instead I just closed my eyes again , and listened to what they were saying.
"Is she going to be ok?" Someone asks worriedly.
"Yes she will...she just needs to be more careful with her head" someone else replies.
***
"So how are you feeling? " Mike asks. I shrug. "Ok I guess , just head aches once in a while. Nothing I can't handle" I say giving him a weak smile. Mike's face then became one of anger.
"I don't understand why they think this is funny!" He yells. He has a very short temper , but when he uses it he gets hurt even more.
"Calm down Mike it's not a big deal really" I say trying to calm him down.
"Not a big deal?!" He yells throwing his arms up in anger.
"How the hell is it not!! They made your head bleed!! And you're saying it isn't a big deal!" He shakes his head , his eyes full of rage.
"I...I just can't believe how you take this so calmly!! You know what I can't be here knowing that you think it isn't a big deal. I'm going to go for a run...I'll see you later Mia" he says walking to the door.
"MIKE! MIKE! MIKE WAIT!" I yell , but he was already long gone...
I groan and hold my head. Why can't he understand that there is nothing we can do...nothing. I stand up from my old small couch and walk towards my bed. Gently laying down. I close my eyes and a few tears slip out. I couldn't help it. I wanted to leave this place. I can't take this anymore and I'm sure Mike can't either.

"Aw look at the little slut all hurt..how sad" I wake up by someone talking. Then laughter.
Then I feel my hair being pulled and quickly open my eyes. Lacy.
"AHHHH!!"
"SHUT UP!!" says Lacy then she gives me a hard slap. Her barbie friends start to laugh. At my pain? How is that funny?
"STOP!!" I yell squeezing my eyes shut.
"Did the little bitch just tell me to stop?! Me?! Who the hell do you think you are to be yelling at me?! Who the hell you think you to even scream at me?! Huh?!" She yells. I'm Mia that's who I think I am.
She starts to slap me while her barbie friends kick me in the ribs. I hold my head , protecting it.
After a while they stop. But they won't ever stop completely.
"C'mon girls let's go. Our salads better be ready by the time we get to the kitchen" She demands glaring at me.
I nod scared of talking.
She then glares at me even more. The smiles darkly.
"Who better answer with your mouth...while you still can"
I glup. While I can?
"Y-yes I-I'll make y-y-you your salads" I squeak.
She smirks. "That's more like it you big, fat, whale" kicking me once more.
After they leave I cry, cry and cry. It just isn't fair...after a few minutes I slowly get up. Wincing at the pain in my ribs.
I wipe away the tears with the sleeve of my sweater and look for my shoes. Once I found them I slip them on. It's the only pair I have. My worn out converse.
I head to the door , but stop when I hear voices.
"How is she is she ok?!" Someone asks.
"Hey let me go!!" Someone else replies...wait that sounds like Mike! It's Mike! Wait! Who's the other person???
"How the hell is she?!" The person asks again.
"Calm down she's fine , but I don't think she can take the beatings for long" Mike replies. Who is he talking with?!
"You're right. I need to get her out of here as soon as possible"
"Yes you do. So uh are you taking me as well?" Mike asks. Where? Who are they talking about?!
"Yes I am. I'm trying to take as many of you as I can. But are you sure that you are ok with what I'm going to do to you?" The mystery person asks.
What are they going to do to Mike?
"Yes. I don't care if I lose that." Mike replies. Wait what? Mike what are you agreeing to?
"Ok do you think she will be ok with it?" Mystery person asks.
Who are they?
"Yes I think she will. Even if she doesn't I'll make her. It isn't safe for her no more." Mike replies.
Who is she?!
"Great. I'll try to do this as soon as possible. She needs to get out of here...before they end up killing her. These fake bastards." Mystery person replies angrily.
Who is this person? They sound so familiar! But who?! Who is this Mystery Person?
