The one who stood out

Chapter 7 - The word is finally out!!

Bethany's outfit ^^^^^^^

Bethany's point of view
I woke up in my cold bed, still in my cloths from yesterday. It was 6am, so I decided to get up anyways. Mom was still asleep, so I snuck downstairs, and made some toaster strudels for myself. I sipped on some juice while I ate. I finished quickly, and snuck back up to my room when it was 6:30. I put on the outfit that I had laid on the chair last night, in my room. I curled my hair and did my makeup. It was now 7:45am, in 15 minutes, I had to go. I quickly texted Joshua.
To Joshua: Hey, I'm going to school today. Can't wait to see you! ❤️
From Joshua: Can't wait to see you too! Bye for now ❤️😘
To Joshua: Bye Joshy!! 😘
Joshua has logged off.

I grabbed my book bag and a purse, and head out the door with my phone still in my hand. I drove a little fastly to school, because I was in a rush. I arrived in the school parking lot, and parked in my normal spot. I rush into the school, and everyone just laughed at me. Darn! I forgot about the rumours!! I just tried to ignore everyone, and got all my books for the first class. "I see you and Joshua were getting messy with your dinner this weekend!" Elissa giggled and held up a picture of Rib sauce all over our mouths. I just ignored her and walked away. "Fine, ignore me like a pouty little brat you are!!" Elissa yelled. I just froze, and tears slowly fell from my eyes. I seen principal Joe walk down the hallway, and he seen me. "Are you ok Miss. Casper?" Principle Joe asked.
"Yeah! Just a eyelash!" I lied. He nodded his head and went back to what he was doing. Elissa just laughed because she got her way.

It was 4th period, Math!! It was with Mr. Sanders, Elissa's dad. "Ok, everyone turn to page 123, and do questions, 1,2,3,4 and 5!" Mr. Sanders explained. Everyone did as they were told and started their work. "I'll be right back,mill only be a few minutes!" Mr. Sanders said and left the classroom. Immediately, everyone started calling me rude names and throwing paper at me. I couldn't help but cry!! Mr. Sanders walked in the classroom, and everyone gasped in fright. "Excuse me! What id you guys think you're doing to Bethany?" Mr. Sanders yelled.
"E-Elissa started all of this!!" Joshua butted in.
"Well, Bethany, Joshua and Elissa, see me after school please with principle Joe!" Mr. Sanders explained, not happy. The bell rung for the final period of the day, and everyone zoomed out of the classroom. "Hey, you're not in trouble. I just need things cleared up, ok?" Mr. Sanders whispers into my ear. I nodded my head in relief, and joined the other students.

It was after school and myself, Elissa and Joshua sit in chairs in Mr. Sanders classroom, with Mr. Sanders himself and Principal Joe here too. "Joshua, explain your part please!" Mr. Sanders asked.
"Well, Elissa has been picking on Bethany ever since 3rd grade, and were in like 11th grade now. She didn't wanna say a word, because Elissa blackmailed her!" Joshua explained.
"Did you stand up for her at all?" Mr. Sanders asked.
Joshua nodded his head. "Now, Bethany dear, explain your part!" Mr. Sanders asked calmly.
"W-well. Elissa has been spreading rumours everywhere a-and.." I burst into tears.
"It's ok, take your time!" Principle Joe said.
"And she said awful things about me, threw paper at me and gave me mean worded notes. Called me terrible names! Texted me rude things. It's all terrible!" I cried into Joshua's shoulder.
"Elissa, we need to have one serious talk at the police station later. Joshua, Bethany, you can go. Tell me if she does anything else, ok?" Mr. Sanders said.
I nodded my head, and walked away with Joshua.

I was home, and my mom questioned me a lot. "Why were you late getting hime from school? Did you get in trouble?" Mrs. Casper asked.
"No mom, I had volunteered to help the teachers with stuff...." I lied.
"Ok, good for you then sweetie!" Mrs. Casper smiled and kissed my cheek and started to cook supper.

Supper was done, and I sat at the table to a steaming bowl of Sea food chowder. Boy it was good! "How's Alex doing?" I asked.
"The doctors said, he's doing fine for now, hopefully he'll be ok!" Mrs. Casper explained.
I nodded my head and continued slurping up my chowder. I was done and placed my dishes in the sink, and went up to my room. I realized, I had gotten a text from Elissa.
From Elissa: Just so you know, this is not the end Bethany Casper!!
