3| I Tend to Overthink Things

✿Your POV❀

"Wanna hang out sometime?" Ashley said, a sinking feeling settling in my stomach.

Kurapika smiled at Ashley.

I wanted to walk away. I didn't want to be there while I watch another person leave me.

As I did so, Kurapika pulled me back by my arm. I didn't expect it and was shocked stiff by the sudden contact.

"Sorry," he said with a grin.

My face turned bright red when he pulled me in front of him, resting his arms on my shoulders. "I already have plans with her!"

Ashley looked at me with a cold nasty glare. If looks could kill, I would be dead by now. I felt the sinking feeling inside me burst into fear along with other mixed emotions of happiness and excitement from Kurapika's previous actions. My mind was racing.

What did Kurapika mean when he said he had plans with me? I don't remember making plans. Was he just using me so he didn't have to spend time with Ashley? If so, did Kurapika not like her for some reason? I don't like her either but that's because of years of her bullying and harassment. Or maybe he was playing hard to get with her. But why me of all people? Ashley doesn't think I'm a threat to her now, does she? Why would she? She could just bat her eyes and have Kurapika completely under her control. But what if she does... But should I be worried? How can she make my life any worse. I already have to endure school everyday.

All of these questions started to hurt my head.

Ashley's glare turned into a forced smile. "Okay, maybe some other time then. See you around!" She giggled.

"What the heck was that about?" Leah said. She startled me because I forgot she was there. Leah then turned to Kurapika, "We never made any plans."

Kurapika smiled sheepishly. "It's probably bad to judge her right away like this but I honestly don't like her. Something about her just puts me on edge."

I looked at him with wide eyes an gasped. "You hate her too! I think we just became best friends!"

After home room, we had two more classes. We were all able to stay together for our next class, art. Our last class, unfortunately, they were totally different for each of us. I had English, Leah had history, and Kurapika had science. But, the science room was just next door so I didn't complain too much. That meant I would get to walk to class with Kurapika. Although the worst part is, Ashley and her posse are in my class. Which is why, next to algebra, I dreaded this class the most.

Before I could even sit down, Ashley was already waiting for me. The nasty scowl from before rested on her face. I wasn't surprised to see her. I could already tell that she was gonna go off about what happened earlier. I just didn't want to deal with her bullying. I mean, nobody would. But I have been in a good mood all afternoon and I didn't need her ruining it.

"Hey freak-girl." She said in that snobby tone she always had.

I tried to ignore her. Although it was impossible to do so when she was in the way of me and my desk.

"U-um, excuse me," I said quietly.

"Sorry, did you say something?" She hissed. "I couldn't hear you need to speak up." She had away  of talking that made you feel like you were trash. The thing I hated was that I always got too scared to do anything about it.

I didn't say anything.  I couldn't say anything.  All I could do was look at my shoes.

"That's what I thought," She snapped. "You're  pathetic. Your such a loser. " I tried to swallow the big lump in my throat. She smiled wickedly at me, "Of course, you probably already knew that."

At that moment the teacher walked in. As  you would imagine, being the little devil she is, she instantly stopped and sashayed to her seat. Talk about saved by the bell. I sank into my seat and lowered my head. I tried to pay attention to class but I couldn't focus on anything with Ashley  glaring at me every two minutes.

"Jeez! Books suck!" Ashley whined. She didn't even bother to stay quiet so the teacher wouldn't hear her.

Almost as much as you do on the weekends, I thought to myself. I smiled at my dirty joke. Apparently it was more than just a thought.

The other kids were laughing too. Even the teacher snickered.

I did not just say that out loud. I felt my cheeks grow bright red and my stomach churned. Ashley whipped her head around and glared at me.

"You're gonna pay for that!" she growled.

Well, this is it. This is the end. Goodbye Cruel World. I'm as good as dead because Ashley is going to kill me.

I was in the middle of mentally writing my will when I realized there was still hope for me. If I could just beat her out the door, I might make it out alive.

The second the bell rang I rushed towards the door. It wasn't like I was sprinting but I managed to power walk fast enough for Ashley and her henchmen to be delayed by the crowd. But with my luck, I also managed to be stuck behind a the slowest heard of people. By the time I got out of the school doors, they have already come up to me.

The blonde girl grabbed me by the collar and pushed me to the ground. I felt a sharp pain in my stomach from where she just kicked me, hard. "What the hell was that! You think you can embarrass me like that?" She said,  yanking on my hair. I closed  my eyes. She pushed me to the ground once more and I stumbled trying to get back on my feet afterwords. "Don't forget, I'm not the FREAK here. Now am I?" She punched me in my face. I could taste blood in my mouth. I cowered on the ground as the other girls continued to beat me.

I didn't know when they finished, the pain felt endless. When they did, all I could do was just lay there. People crowded around me, their eyes staring at me. I heard whispers among the crowd, it wasn't even pity.

"Wow. She really is pathetic."

"What Garbage."

"She should honestly just kill herself."

I have heard those words way more than any other person should. Tears were swelling up in my eyes. I wanted to cry. I couldn't move.
