Chapter 4: Holly mashed potatoes!

C H A P T E R 4: Holly mashed potatoes!

Another day of school also known as torture. For most people because of the homework and work, for me because of the bullying. I made my usual routine and went downstairs to eat something before heading to school.

My mum has slide me an apple into pieces which I ate as quick as I could and then brushed my teeth. Once I was done with that I headed out and started walking to school. My mum doesn't takes me to school since she haves to go to work early as well as my dad. And since today she actually haves to go to work she won't be back until night
which means I'll have to cook my food today.

After a 15 minute walk I finally arrived to school. I entered and I could feel the stares of people at me, and the gossip probably about me being Juliet and Ethan Romeo. I mean the popular and the geek Who would've think to put them together?

As I went a little bit further to get to my locker that's when the pushing started. Then someone pulled me by my backpack making me fall to the floor and everyone burst in laugh. Well it has happened worst. I got up and cleaned the dirt from my cloth and continue walking. Once I arrived to my locker I opened it and grab my books for my first class which was Chemistry. And that's when someone closed the door of my locker hard. And I didn't pulled my fingers away at time. The locker door smashed (or however it is supposed to be said) my fingers and it hurts so bad. My fingers were red and there was even some blood in them. I turn to see who made it and there was the one and only Queen Bee Brittany. She was laughing as well as everyone else. All wanted to do was cry, but I didn't. It's not worth. She walked away and I sat against my locker watching my red bleeding fingers that hurt. They were turning purple because of the bruise. That's only my luck.

"Holly mashed potatoes!" Holly mashed potatoes? Well that's new. I turned up to see Chris, Ethan and Jakob staring at my fingers. I didn't answer I mean how am I supposed to? I just laugh at their exclamation.

"What happened?" Asked Jakob kneeling in front of me as well as the other guys.

"Someone smashed them with the locker door" I said quietly not daring to look at him in the eyes.

"Who?" Asked Chris. I could feel then all staring at me so straight it felt weird.

"Someone?" I said more as a question than an affirmation.

"It was the girl of the bathroom, right?" Jakob asked. How the heck do they know?

"How do you guys know?" I asked now looking at them one by one. But Ethan was to busy staring at my hand to even talk. He slightly rubbed it with his finger as if it was something out of the other world. But I have to admit that I felt something weird at Ethan's touch.

"We know what Brittany's capable to do. When she went out of the bathroom the door closed slowly and we were able to look at you in the floor." Chris explained and it somehow made sense.

"How are you gonna write?" Finally Ethan spoke moving his stare from my hand to look at me.

"I'm left handed" I simply answer. For my good luck the fingers she smashed are from my right hand so I will be able to write my notes.

They took me to the nurse...again, and she bandage my fingers. She asked how it happened and I told her I 'accidentally' closed the door of the locker before I could get my hand out. She looked at me weird and nodded. I don't think she believes any of my excuses anymore. And if she does she might be thinking I'm the most clumsy and stupid person in the world. I visit so often the nurses office that it's like a second home to me.
