"Loner!"
"Orphan!"
"Weirdo!"
"Why do you do that? "
"Yeah. It's like, weird."
"Only nerds, like, read."
"Omg! Casey that's so true."
The mantra of insults impale into me as I try and escape, though their damage was done. Just because I was different they treat me as an outcast. Sobbing I seek a place of safety, where they won't follow. Running into the senior girls toilets, (which are believed to be haunted for some odd reason) locking myself in a stall, hiding my wounds. I was safe... For now.
Clutching my prized possession to me chest; a thick purple tome, (Although I despise the colour) Hans Christian Anderson Fairy Tales. A final gift from my beloved grandfather before he passed away. Assessing the damage, I cried harder, so much so everything became a blur, I was sobbing uncontrollably, loud sobs. The book's spine was hanging by a tiny piece of the hard cover, displaying the bindings, pages were slipping out.
No one understands. I was all alone. Who needs me?
Michael's P.O.V
"Freak!"
"Fag!"
"Emo!"
"Loner!"
"Why don't you go jump off a cliff, Clifford."
"Good one Tom."
A punch hitting me straight in the nose, another to my stomach. Falling closer to the ground with each blow until I was laying on the ground in the futile position. Someone began kicking me then the others joined in, laughing. I didn't yell or call for help, who would help me? Besides yelling would make it worse, and so I lay silent as the four boys combined their assault.
The bell rang as I my vision began to fade, blackness ebbed in as I became numb, the last thing I felt was a glob of spit landing on my cheek. I did not cry, I only wished for a friend who would accept me and understand, although I hoped that no one suffered what I have had to endure, yet I selfishly hoped someone did so I wouldn't feel so alone. Psssh as if.
No one understands. I am all alone. No one needs me.
