*************************************
Nooooooooo. Monday. School. Ugh. Just then, I suddenly felt cold.
"I HAVE CALLED YOU TWELVE TIMES. GET UP!" Mum screamed hesitantly. "It's 7:45!" Oh my gosh. I missed my bus. I was going to be late for school. I rushed to the bathroom, brushing my teeth and pulling my hair into a ponytail at the same time. Multitasking, am I right? I grabbed whatever clothes were in the bathroom and threw them on, rushing back out of the bathroom. But not before I took a quick look at myself in the mirror and told myself everything would be fine. I don't know why, but recently I've been lacking confidence. There was a knock on my door. Jason? What's he doing here?
"I'm here to give you a lift!" So that's what he's doing here.
"You can drive?" I said, confused.
"Yeah! C'mon, let's go." He ordered.
*************************************
"Jason. I forgot to pee. Let's go back home."
"What? No. Just pee here."
"I don't like the toilets here. You never know what's been on those seats!"
"Well when I pee, I don't need seats. All I need is-"
"DO NOT GO THERE." I yelled. He laughed.
"Fine. I'll use the..." I shiver. "Public bathrooms."
As I walked over to the bathroom, I felt as if people were following me. So I just pretended I was on my phone and walked a little bit faster. They walked faster, too. That's when I knew there were actually people following me. I ran in the bathroom, only to be greeted by boys, and urinals. Oh my gosh. I did NOT just run into the boys bathroom. Oh no. I ran out as fast as I could, but when I got out, Kaytlyn and Vanessa were there, waiting.
"Took you long enough to realise which bathroom you were in." Kaytlyn started.
"Eww... You perv! You are disgusting." Vanessa continued. But things only got worse from there. Kaytlyn gathered the whole hallway's attention before saying:
"Everyone! This is Abby Anderson, and she purposely went into the boys bathroom! What a slut!" Everyone laughed. They pointed. They cursed. They were saying such awful things. How could they say that?! People have no right to judge me, when they didn't know the truth. It still hurt, though. It hurt a lot. That people thought that I was a slut, and a whore, bitch, skank. The list goes on. ALL I DID WAS ACCIDENTALLY GO INTO THE BOYS BATHROOM! As I ran off, people laughed and called me names. A few tried to trip me over. One managed to get me down, but I stood back up, and kept running. I stopped when I ran into someone.

Jason.
"Ab! Why are you crying?!" He asked, more worried than ever. I didn't even notice I was crying, once again. I explained everything that happened. From me accidentally going into the boys room, to being tripped over by a random person.
"Kaytlyn will pay for this. I will make sure she does." He replied, with anger.
"How?!" I state. "Are you going to humiliate her? Hurt her? If you do that, then you are just as bad as her."
"The difference is, I have a reason."
"That doesn't matter. If you do what she does, you become a bully too. Please don't do what she does." I begged. I did not want Jason to change. I think he's already perfect.
"Abby. I'm gonna head home. Want a lift?" He smiled.
"Sure." I said. Before I left, a girl approached me. All I could think of was, don't make fun of me.
"Hi, I'm River. I saw what happened today, and I'm really sorry."
"Why aren't you making fun of me, like everyone else?" I snapped. I didn't want to get fooled by anyone.
"I've been through the same thing. At my old school, this girl Julie, got a picture of me getting changed and sent it to my entire school. It was..." She started crying. "Horrible." She fixed herself up.
"An right now, I think you need a friend. I'm here to be that friend." At that very moment, I felt special. Even after everything that has happened, someone was still willing to be my friend. I gave her a huge hug and asked her if she wanted to come to my place today. She agreed.
"Let's go to Jason. I'm getting a lift from him."
*************************************
"Mum!" I called. "I brought a friend!" As she heard that, she bolted down the stairs. Was it that rare for me to have a friend?
"Hi, I'm Ashlynn. Abby's mother. Nice to meet you! Would you like a snack? Drink? Abby's phone password?"
"MUM!" She obviously did not have friends when she was younger. I took River up to my room as fast as possible, avoiding my mum. When we were up there, River shared her story of how she was bullied, and how she overcame it. It was fun to have a friend to talk to. Besides Jason, of course. But this was different. We have a lot in common. This friendship was special.
