       {Shontaeya's  P.O.V}

    Homecoming is coming up, i wonder if I'm gonna have a date. Did i tell y'all, Ayanna is running for homecoming princess. Lol! She better not win. Actually I don't care.

        Ever since that pizza incident, my life has been hell at school. Jayson has he's boys all up on me. He's probably scared of me telling people but I don't roll like that and he's doing it the wrong way. He ordered Jake and Taylor not to sit with me during lunch. That wasn't going to be so bad cos i had lunch with Sierra and Sally ever other day. But he also tormented us. The days i had lunch with Taylor and Jake i sat alone which made me look really pathetic so i started eating in hidden corners of the school. Where i could possibly not be found. Throughout the whole time i ignored Jayson, i wanted him to see how childish he was. I never said a word do him and i think it made it more painful for him. He was probably expecting me to beg him.

        My life has been hell in school but I'm not  complaining. I'm going to bear it. Sierra and Sally think I'm being stupid. I'm happy i have them tho, they stand up for me in every little way they can.

        Homecoming was this weekend and i just wanted to have fun with the two best people in my life. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    We had chorus this morning which was no longer my favorite class, with Jayson in it. We got there and sat down. When i sat,  i felt kinda greasing in my butt. I tried to stand up and probably change the chair or something, but I couldn't stand. Sally and Si-Si looked  at me strangely. I looked very uncomfortable. I was freaking glued to the chair, omg this was too much. I whispered into their ears that i was glued to the chair. Sierra looked so surprised, Sally was pissed.

  Ok now this guy has crossed the line, like WTF tho! Sally said standing up in an attempt to go and confront Jayson.  I motioned to her to sit down, she was only going to create a scene and embarrass me. I looked at Jayson and he grinned and winked his eye at me. I was going to roll my eyes at him but i figured that he was just looking for my attention and even tho he had gone too far i was still going to act mature. I smiled at him which made him confused.

    I was glued to a freaking chair. What was i going to do. I was just going to sit there till they all left. The teacher walked in and we did the warm-ups.
I was praying we don't do one of those sessions were we have to stand. But we did. Omg, what was i going to do.

      The whole class stood up and i sat there looking around.
Why are you not standing Shontaeya? The teacher asked causing the whole class to stare at me. Jayson laughed out loud. Sally went up to the teacher and told her that somebody put glue on my chair. She understood and was going to let it go until Jayson yelled out " she's glued to the chair, she's not sick"  The whole class started laughing and my teacher ignored it and went on with the singing without me.
        I was already getting used to being abused by Jayson so it didn't exactly hurt, but it did. Sally and Sierra were pissed of. After class as Jayson walked out, i heard him say "i hoped yo ass stays glued to that chair forever" i acted like I didn't even hear him and that frustrated him the more. "Did you hear what i just said?" He said out of frustration. "Oh I didn't realize that you were talking" i said smiling at him. He tried to come closer but sierra and sally stepped in between and ordered him out. Damn i was surprised. He walked out of the class frustrated. I smiled at Sally and Sierra.
To be honest i like the way you ignore him when he try's to get to you, sierra said smiling at me.
Yeah but sometimes you have to tell him your mind, especially in cases like this, Sally said still looking pissed.

      The teacher poured an adhesive to weaken the glue and i stood up but my pants was covered in dried glue. Luckily i had extra pants i normally kept in my locker for dance class so i changed into it.  During lunch, i went to my normal hidden corner and surprisingly i saw Rayshawn there. Y'all remember Rayshawn, Jayson's friend. What the hell was he doing here and how did he find this place.

     I attempted to walk away but he called me back. Was he trying to have a conversation with me.
Why do you eat your lunch here?
How do you know that i eat my lunch here?
   He looked at my eyes and popped out his eyes towards my food.

Oh, yeah you obviously have seen my lunch in my hand. Why are you here anyway? I thought this was a place nobody could find.

Well i found it. You still haven't answered my question.

Oh that, i just prefer it to the cafeteria, and why do you ask? It's not like you care anyway. I said sitting down and started eating.

   He looked at me rather he stared at me while i ate and scoffed. You are actually beautiful.

"Did you just notice that?" I said smiling at the corner of my mouth.

   "Whats going on with you and Jayson?"
At this point i was confused if to answer or not. I mean why was he even asking me. Not like we were friends.

    Well what does it look like?
C'mon don't play dumb with me, you know what i mean. Jayson doesn't pick on people for no reason. What did you do?

      I looked at Rayshawn for a while, analyzing him, wondering if he actually knew who Jayson was, Rayshawn looked genuinely rich, you could tell that he was from a rich background. I wondered if telling him that Jayson delivered pizza to my house was going to spoil their relationship and make my problem worse.

   I really don't know, it is what it is. I stood up and walked out with my empty lunch tray.

    

        School was over and i was trying to make it to my bus when i felt a hand grab me by my hand and felt other hands carry me. I couldn't see their faces but i knew it was Jayson's hand work. I found myself in a corner behind the auditorium on the floor in front of Jayson.

        "Are you ready to apologize?"
He said looking down at me with a smirk. He was surrounded by a group of boys and Ayanna, i couldn't see Rayshawn.
Don't make me repeat myself.

Apologize for what? They all seemed surprised with my tone. Before i could open my mouth to say something i felt somebody slap me across my face. My cheeks were burning, my eyes were teary. I have never been slapped or hit in my life not even by my parents. I felt Jayson looking down at me expecting to see tears. I held it back.
"Do you realize that this is an assault and you could be arrested for this."

      This time Jayson stood up and i looked up at him and before i could tell it, he slapped me harder on the same side of my cheek. The tears were flowing, i couldn't control it. I tried to stand to walk out. My head was pounding, i couldn't breathe. He pushed me back to the floor. I had bruised my knee and my elbow. At this time they were all recording it with their phones. Especially Ayanna, she seemed so interested in it.

      I staggered up again, and Jayson held me and yelled in my ear, "are you ready to apologize?" I spat in his face and he flinged me back to the floor.  My clothes were covered in dirt, i couldn't move. I laid down there, wishing to see my mom. At this point i thought a miracle will happen when my mom shows up for me. All of a sudden Rayshawn walked in.
Where have you been dude, you have missed a lot, Jayson said to him.
       He looked down at me "what is going on here?" He rushed to me and tried to help me up, Jayson looked at him angrily.
        Rayshawn looked at my face "Jayson what did you do?" He asked this time in a very aggressive manner. He dropped me, ran towards Jayson and gave him a loud punch on the face. I tried to crawl out of the place when i felt Rayshawn's hands grip me waist and he gave me a piggy back ride.

     I blacked out.
