Rilaya: The Beauty and the Broken

Chapter 7

Maya's POV

I was pretty much spaced out throughout biology. I couldn't help but wonder what Mr Matthew's wanted to talk to me about. Did he know my home life? Was he going to stop me from seeing Riley?
The bell rang and I decided to skip the short assembly that sorted us into our homeroom groups. I don't understand why they didn't do it this morning. But who cares anyway
I'll ask Riley if she heard my name, tomorrow. I hope I'm in a group with her I don't really know if I want Mr Matthew's as my mentor; I was having mixed emotions about it.
Whilst hiding out in a cubicle in the 7th grade girls bathroom, I heard the door to the bathroom open. Who was that? Everyone else was in assembly.
"Who's in here!" They yelled. She had a really chavy, New Yorker accent, probably the kind that carries a fake Paul's Boutique hand bag and wears way to much pink. I kept as quiet as possible, the last thing I needed was a bully on the first day.
"I KNOW YOU'RE IN HERE!" They yelled louder. I heard footsteps approach my cubicle. Fuck. I started freaking out, my breathing became louder no matter how much I willed for it to be quieter. I had been in situations like this before, at home, with my mom.
I heard every door being kicked open one by one. Shit I forgot to lock mine. I fumbled at the lock desperately trying to lock the door but my trembling hands were clearly against my will.
The bangs became louder and closer. Shit shit shit. I was never going to lock it in time.
The noises stopped. Did she leave? Did I miss the sound of the bathroom door in my state of panic? I have no ide...
All of a sudden my cubicle door slammed open on me, the edge hitting me right in the forehead. I instantly became dizzy and I would have lost my footing if the girl hadn't have dragged me out of the cubicle and slammed me against the closest wall. My head began to throb and it ached just to keep my eyes open. She held me by the throat and got right up into my face.
"STAY AWAY FROM RILEY MATTHEWS. SHE'S MY BEST FRIEND NOT YOURS YOU FAT AND UGLY BITCH." The girl screamed. She released her grip on me and began kicking me all over, she had really pointy shoes that didn't exactly work wonders for my cheek bones and every other bone of my ugly body. Maybe she was trying to fix it. I don't know.
After an amount of time that felt like hour, the final bell rang. The girl grabbed her bag, looked down at me and spat on my face as if it was a finishing touch to a cake.
"Riley deserves better than a worthless pile of shit like you anyway." She left the bathroom, leaving me to get myself together, clean myself up and make my way to Mr Matthews' classroom.
I had cleaned myself up enough times before. I knew what I was doing.
About 5 minutes later I was all cleaned up and managed to hobble down to Mr Matthews' classroom. She had taken a nasty blow to my ankle; it hurt so badly just to walk.
I stumbled into the classroom, I was extremely light headed, I felt like I could pass out any moment.
"Hello Miss Hart. Would you like to..." Mr Matthews began. But before he could finish his sentence, I collapsed onto the wooden floor below me.
I was out like a light.
