Chapter 7 – The fight
I got to school and nearly got stampeded by the crowd of students going to first period, where as I went to the office and asked for a glass of water so I could take my pain killers.
I went to class and sat there thinking, I couldn’t stop thinking about Jerry and what happened last night I don’t understand. Is this really who he was all this time I thought he was this fun and funny, loving and kind person.
I didn’t understand when he said I’m his no one else’s, he couldn’t possible like me. I mean his so much older than me and another reason would be because its grows for such an old person to like a young girl.
I never expected this from him, I use to be this girl with the confidence to do anything, stand up to anyone. Thanks to Jerry I flinched at everything that looked like it could hurt me.
I flinched when my locker door opened when someone would open a door loudly or if someone lifted their hand. I was so scared I was even afraid of some of my friends.
How could I live like this? Was it ever going to get better? I kept asking myself.
I was so scared of going home now; I was even scared to talk to someone, because just now he sees it then accuses me of telling them what he did to me.
I just kept wondering when Angie was coming back, speak of the devil and you step on its tail, I jumped sky high as my phone vibrated in my pocket.
It was Angie “Hello Serena sorry to bother you at school.” She said to me “Hello Angie, it’s so good to hear your voice right now.” I told her in a reliving voice.
“Serena we have to stay longer than we planned, I’m really sorry. You don’t have to worry about anything I have spoken to Jerry and he doesn’t mind to stay a little longer.” She said to me.
I started crying like there was no tomorrow, “Its ok I understand, its work I really miss you. Love you I got to go.” I said. I put the phone down and went and sat on the floor by my locker slowly and just kept crying.
My sister wasn’t coming back for so long, and I was dying of pain. So far this was the worst day of my life. I got up and went to the bathroom to wash my face.
I was so hungry, I went to my next class and said to the teacher I need to go get something to eat I feel very light headed. She didn’t mind she could see I wasn’t doing good.
I walked down the hall and went to the cafeteria, as I walked I just kept hoping I didn’t walk into Valery or Steve and the worst Jed. I didn’t have the strength for them right now.
I kept thinking what I was going to say when people start asking questions I couldn’t dare tell them what was going on, just imagine what he would do to me.
I got to the door of the cafeteria and went in straight to the lunch lady, she gave me a look and said “You are not allowed to get any food until lunch.” I looked at her and handed a letter which the teacher had signed for me, to allow me to get food.
I chose to have some hot vegetable soup with some bread, I took a seat at a table and started eating, I didn’t really want to go back to class so I took my time and besides by the time I finished everyone started exiting their classes.
And it was lunch time anyway, I quickly hurried to the lunch lady to get some more which I had to pay for and went to grab a seat far away in a sort of a dark corner to try and avoided everyone.
I saw Valery spotted me and asked Steve to get her some soup; she made her way over to me. I really wasn’t ready for her at all. What was I going to say there is no point in lying to her? She knows me to well and she wouldn’t stop until I told her.
