Minutes later my parents are home and I lead Maya to escape. I wipe all tears and steal some of my moms make up to take away the redness. I sit quietly looking out the window. Thinking of what Maya said. She's right. I don't believe in anything, I don't forgive and I don't forget. My homework is a math worksheet and from my great father, we have to read a chapter from our books. And just because Maya is my friend now, I still find it hard to tell her things I want to say, but I just can't. I want to tell her about my parents, my brother, everything. But I just can't trust. Not yet. Corey comes in and starts yelling  "WHAT WAS THAT IN CLASS?" He says I hide in my hands

"I didn't do any-" he cuts me off and moves my hands away

"YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! THAT NEW GIRL THE WHOLE CLASS!" I started to cry he hits me and I Cry even more. I look out the door and I see Auggie. He runs away.

"All I did was help her with class" I whispered

"OH IS THAT IT? AFTER YOU INTERRUPTED MY CLASS?" I shut up. I knew if I spoke back I'd be hurt even more. Now he had wrist and pulled me up

"this is why you have no friends." Corey says holding me close so I can hear, I don't want to id rather run out the window.

"All you do is ruin everything." He says and drops me to the floor. I cry and my wrist hurts like hell. It burns. I look at it and see red. My eyes are blurry I look closely and see droplets. Blood. My wrist is bleeding. The cuts. I don't dare cut this is even hurt. I get up with all my strength. I look in the mirror and I look like a wreck. Im disheveled. My hair is a mess I'm red and bruised. I glance over and see scissors. I don't cut my wrist. Instead, I cut my hair. Anger fills me and I cut off almost half my hair. It looks chopped off but it makes me feel better somehow. I hear Topanga yell but I can't make out the words. I don't want to either. I take shower and paint over my cuts. I decide I have to do something. 9 years. 9 years I've been abused and 9 years I've been depressed. I need to talk with Maya. I have no phone. It will have to wait for tomorrow. But all I know is wherever I go Auggie goes. He doesn't deserve anything he's a sweet kid and he's only 5. My brown hair has hints of red but I don't care. I lay down with my chopped off hair and think. I have a friend. Finally. And tomorrow I will be free.
