"Riiiiing" The alarm rang and i switched it off in annoyance. It's a new school day and i'm not ready to go to school, you'll all know why.
Christmas period is over and it wasn't fun, it was terrible, i cried day and night hoping my life was just a nightmare but it wasn't, it's real, i've suffered a lot and the suffering can continue forever who knows. I know my mum is in heaven seeing me and if she was alive she won't want me to live this life i'm living, i'm sure she was a good woman, dad just despises her for a reason which is unknown to me.
During christmas, i was just in the house with no food, dad was drinking and smoking not caring about my feelings, he slapped me thrice, threw a beer bottle at me and told me never to mention mum's name. Christmas is meant to be times spent with your family, people you love but mine is the other way round. I don't know anything about my relatives dad doesn't talk about them, if i knew them i'ld have left home a long time ago.
I'm crying right now and i need to be strong, i don't want to seem like a weakling. I walked tiredly to the bathroom my dad and i share, i checked the half broken mirror and my eyes are really puffy. I closed the door properly, dad can be crazy sometimes so i need to be cautious. He once tried to rape me but i used a bottle to hit his head and i ran away knowing what the consequences would be.
When i got home that day after running away, dad locked the door, brought out his belt, used it to beat me and he kept on calling me a bitch. I remember telling him i'm no bitch and he slapped me and sent me to my room. I'm already wasting time in the bathroom, i've a feeling something is going to happen.
I quickly brushed, started pouring water and soap on my body, there's no shower, only a tap at least that's better than having no water.
"Anything for daddy?" I heard and i screamed "Aahhhhhh" I tried running away but my dad held me so tightly i thought i was going to die.
"Leave me alone!" I shouted.
"You know you're sexy" He said using his flithy hand on my body, i flinched while he did it feeling so disgusted.
"Don't worry babe it's just me"
"I'm not your babe or one of your hoes, get your flithy hands off me" I kicked him where the-sun-doesn't-shine and i ran to my room but before i got to my roon i heard him groan and say "You bitch, i'll kill you"
I ran to my room locking the door and breathing very fast, i quickly wore a shirt, took a brown long gown and wore it on top of the shirt and i wore my green tennis shoe i've had since when i was 12, i still don't know how it's my size. I ran out of the house in fear hoping dad won't come out and torture me, but he didn't.
I quickly hopped on my bicycle which is even older than my dad, it was passed down from my grandfather to my dad and to me, i wish i had a car but this is how life wants to treat me. My house to school is a 1hr 30 minutes drive but since i'm using a bicycle it's going to be 2hrs. I wake up 6am in the morning apart from saturdays and sundays and since dad has wasted most of my time i won't get to school as early as i've planned.
2hrs 15 minutes later i'm in school and what brings me out of my thinking is "Get out of the way you house maid". Students are already laughing this is so humilating, i tried leaving the spot but the bicycle didn't move, dammn it. Before i knew it, i'm already on the ground and yeah, the whole student body are laughing, great way to start a morning.
I already have bruises on my arm, i can feel some cuts on my face. Thank God nothing happened to the bicycle cause i can't be walking to school, no one bothered to help me up or even feel pity for me, i don't have friends i'm lonely, when i need someone to be there for me no one's there, i'm the laughing stock of the school and i'll just say this:- Life Sucks.
When i stood up, i was welcomed with glares from Mercedes and her 'group' the Fab 5, she should just leave me alone i don't know what i've done to her.
"When i say get out of the way you get out of the way" Mercedes said, a crowd was already forming around us.
"Nice cloth where did you get it from? From your grandmother?" Tori asked and everyone laughed.
"I-I" I stuttered.
"Save that bullshit for another time" Mercedes said and she walked away with her group with the crowd following her.
I couldn't say anything she's Mercedes Olsen, she has no remorse for what she says, she doesn't care if she makes someone cry, in fact, she's looking for that, she looks for where it hurts the person the most and use it against the person. That's what Tori did her 2nd in command, they all know i can't afford what they have and they use it to torture me, make me sad but one thing, i don't cry in front of them, it's not as if they will care anyways.
Mercedes is the captain of the cheerleading and volleyball team and i've heard she only allows specific people on team. I've been picked on since middle school just because i'm poor, i got a scholarship from Lake Ville High that's why i'm in the school. Everyone treats Mercedes like she's one goddess, i'll talk about the Fab 5 later but right now i need to get to class.
I got to class in time for Chemistry and i just zoomed off when the class started and what brought my attention is the door, Mercedes just walked in smiling, what the hell is she doing here?.
"Mrs Olsen you're disturbing my class" Mr Collins said.
"I'm transferring into this class" My mouth literally opened and everyone started clapping, she gave me this look walking past me and i fall from my seat.
"Riley, you need to be more careful" Mr Collins said.
"She made me to fall" I said pointing at Mercedes.
"I didn't do anything, she just fell cause she's careless" She's such a liar.
"You all saw it didn't you?" I asked the class but it seems as if everyone is on Mercedes side, that hurts.
"Can you please sit down Riley?" Mr Collins said.
"You heard him sit your ass down you poor ass girl" Mercedes said shouting and everyone was like "Ooh can you take that".
I can't take this any longer, i ran out of the class putting my books in my locker since i've no bag, i ran to my bicycle and i kept on riding and riding not caring where i'm going to. I've no friend, boyfriend, family, my life is just shattered.
Happy New Year Everyone!!!!! I hope you all like this chapter, i'ld love your feedbacks. Enjoy your day.
