The Girl Who Got bullied

Chapter 4 -The ego and the pity

Julie's POV

It's been 3 days since the incident yet I live in misery. Even though I have accepted to what Cole said (yes I know that animal's name now) he hasn't stopped troubling me. Nobody seems to notice me walking, eating or even my existence. But I didn't mind that, I am use to people ignoring me.

I want to fight back but I am always taken aback by the fear of dieing. By my few unfortunate encounters with Cole I have understood that he is not the type of guy you could fool around with, he is the man of his words and that he needs major anger management. My anger boils everytime I see him or his friends and make sure they notice it but my anger shatteres like a thin glass when he uses his violence. After every encounter I have with him, a new scar develops, physical and emotional. I don't know if this is breaking me down or building me up because after every assault I break down emotionally but create even stronger shield for the next one.

With a sigh I moved towards my locker,praying I don't run into Cole. But luck seems to be never in my favour. From my locker mirror I could see him coming towards me,.he is not alone someone is with him probably one of his friends. With A deep breath I turn away from them and start to speed walk hopeing to escape them.

" Not so soon baby. " I hear him say.
He stands in front of me to block my way.
"What do you want." I ask shrewdly.
" Ow, why so rude. " he says while keeping his hand on his heart.

As if I could be as rude as him! And I seriously doubt whether he has a heart!

" You didn't come to school yesterday.Why? I was so worried. " he pouted.
Pfft!! Worried! Oh right! I didn't come to school so that I could avoid looking at your ugly face for one fucking day.
He isn't actually has an ugly face, he is like looks 10 but personality -10, so that makes him 0. Wow am actually good a math. #selfpatting.

" It's none of your business." I said to him. I moved around him and start walking away.
" Come back here. " he pulls me back in front of him.
" Look.you need to tone down this assy attitude of yours it doesn't suit a filthy bitch like you." I glared at him.
" Dude you gotta tame this bitch." said the other guy while chewing his gum.
"Hmm, I think you're right. " Cole said while nodding. My glare turns towards him.
" Well it's your lucky day! I brought you a gift." he said while searching his backpack.
" Here." he says while holding what seems like a belt. It is dull red in colour, looks like it's been used and it has a locket thing which says BITCH in bold.
" Go on take it, and put it around your neck. " he said.

I look at him with my wide eyes in shock. He brought me a dog's belt! And now he is going to make me wear it for real! Tears start to form in my eyes blurring my vision..again. Oh why? Why does it happen all the time? Damn tears make me feel weak.Helpless. They choke me!

" Come on.." he says while pushing it towards me. "Oh god let me do it for you. Here" he says while tieing it around my neck.
" Hmm suits you." he says while a satisfactory smile plays on his lips. And then walks away with his friend leaving me numb and with this belt choking me.

I can't take it anymore! I ran towards the restroom, tears flying away as I ran. I push open the door and run towards the sink,splashing water on my face until my shirt is soaked with water. I look at my reflection in the mirror. I look like a wreck!! I rub my tears from my cheeks. And tear the belt around my neck with both my hands and throw it on the ground.

Enough! enough of this already. He can't do this to me. I will not bend down before him. I will not cry and weaken myself. I will fight.
It was like a promise to myself. Somehow it gave me power. Power to stand everytime I fall apart!

The day flew away fast. Faster than I thought. The bell rang. People ran out of the school. Looks like some people here gate school as much as I do.
I was walking down the hallway when a strong grip pulled me away from the hallway into a dark room.
