Spectrum [DISCONTINUED]

III - The Girl

The girl's POV

I kept my mouth shut as they dragged me away from the school. Yeah, I was geeky but also pretty, and yeah, I didn't care about my social life at all, but what did I do to deserve this one? Damn. And I was so close to getting through the last semester only being beaten up twice.

Oh look! They pushed me to the ground. Never would have seen that one coming. I just curled into a ball and waited for this to end. The punches, the kicks, and the pain.

I almost blacked out but I reminded myself that if I blacked out the boys would get in trouble and then hunt me down to give me a beating for blacking out. I just concentrated on counting the amount out hairs in a clump that swung in front of my face. I concentrated on where the dark brown ended and the bright purple tips began. I concentrated on anything but the pain and wished for it to end soon.

Most people would have cracked by the point that I'm in. Not me. I remain stoic and dry. There are no tears left to cry. Those are used at home when I'm alone in bed. In the dark. There aren't enough to go around anymore. I probably should be drinking more water. I don't. I stay away from anything that isn't from within me. I can't trust them. But to survive I do eat and drink. Some.

I'm not depressed. I don't hate my life. I am perfectly happy being me. I have great body image, and I am healthy. I just hate the part of life that I'm in now. But, it's gotten better before, so I know just to pull through it.

The guys that were beating me up finally decide they are content with the beating and walk away. I don't move, somehow I'm in a corner and there is no better place to be right now. I slowly tense my muscles to see if I can move all of them. When they all work, I focus on spreading out bit by bit to make sure nothing is broken or seriously injured. Luckily, all I got from this one was several bruises. No blood, no blisters, nothing broken.

Out of the corner of my eye, I see Allison Hills looking at me strangely. She is like the top of the top. And she's only a sophomore. But it's weird, because I've never seen or heard her hurt anybody. Not even calling any names. She just ignores us. That's what everyone wishes for. To be ignored. If you're noticed negatively... Well... You saw. If you're noticed positively, you get sucked into this world of popularity that is a alien subject to me. If you're ignored, you get on with life and push through.

I move my head the slightest bit to get a better look at Allison, but she has already walked away. How did she look so causal, leaning against the brick wall like that? How does she manage that popular life but she still knows what's the best for others? And most importantly, why and I sitting here thinking that she's gorgeous? She would never fall for someone so low. And if she did, I don't know if I would be able to catch her from those heights.

I mean, I know I'm gay. That's a known fact to those who actually care about me. But I need to stop eyeing the girls that wouldn't jump a puddle for me. At least she wouldn't push me in it. I would hope. Actually, she would probably just walk around it and keep on going, not even caring. Just ignoring.

God, I wonder what she thinks about me. Or anyone else. What is it like in that pretty little mind? I wonder how empty it is. I mean, I'm not criticizing her, but she couldn't be that smart if she's popular.

Oh well, she's gone now. I slowly got up and crept away to my car as fast as possible.

When I got home I just crashed on the couch. There was nothing else to do and there was no one home to tell me to do work. Since I'm in the final stretch of school, there is not that much work going on. Some of the lower level classes work until the very end of school, but only popular people are in those. My classes with all the smart people are long since done with our work.

I was very 'virgin' for being a junior. Sure, I had dated a few people here and there, but never anything serious. I didn't have anything against any of my exes, so everything was fine there. But in terms of the virgin part, I hadn't ever kissed a girl. All the girls I dated just... Broke off to quickly or weren't into kissing. And so obviously I had never had sex with a girl. I mean, what's a girl gonna do when she is literally living on the bottom?

Instead of pondering on that, though, I went up to my room and got on my computer. I checked all the social media for all the gossip on this girl. At this point, I am just kinda confused. I wasn't sure if I was attracted to her or just curious about her character. I decided to call it a quest for information, so it was neither at this point.

Fear me, Allison Hills, because by the end of tonight I will know more about you then you do.
