Penny's P.O.V
A single tear fell from my eye as Luke slammed me up against my locker.
"Freak" he spat at me then let me go and walked away with his friends laughing at me. I slid down the wall and rubbed my cheek, there is blood on my hands, great how will I explain to mom?!
The bell rings, I have history with Mr. Bremner, great, Luke and Ashton are in this class, at least there is an adult in there, so that means they can't do much to me, I hope.
I quickly run in the girls bathroom and wipe my red eyes and cut face with a tissue, all my mascara has run down my cheeks, so I wipe that of to. Know I look a mess. I look at my outfit, a baggy hoody, black leggings and black converse, pretty much what I wear everyday. I tie my long brown hair up in a high pony and put my fringe behind my ear. I take my iPhone out my back pocket and look at the time, I'm late by five minutes, oh well. I walk slowly down the halls to history, some of Luke's friends shove me on the way. I know mr Bremner won't be mad at me for being late, he never gets angry with anyone, not even Luke, which is really surprising as luke is never good and doesn't listen. He is a young teacher and he is fun to be in class with, he makes history not boring.
I slowly open his door, " ah Penny, hello. Your textbook is on your desk," he smiles. I hear laughing, I look at Luke and his best friend ashton. They are laughing silently at me, I don't get it, they are always late for class, so why are they laughing?
I sit in my chair, which is sadly, next to Ashton Irwin.
Mr Bremner never told me the page number, he is in the middle of explaining something about homelessness and starvation. I glance over at the page that Ashton has open, to check the number. Ashton's hand shoots up, "Penny is coping me!" I roll my eyes, oh no luke saw me roll my eyes. Luke whispers to Ashton. Ashton the kicks me under the table really hard, and start drumming the table with his and my pencil that he snatched out my hand.
On the smart board a picture of a homeless man comes on and luke shouts "hey look! It's penny!" He laughs, every one in the class laughs, not real laughs though a I want the popular kid to like me laugh.
Mr Bremner tells us to do question one, I go to pick up my pencil but then I remember that ashton has it. "Um, ashton?" I say in the quietist voice. He looks at me and swings on his chair. "What." He says then looks at my pencil. "Oh." Wait a min, is ashton actually gonna give it to me?!
But then he smirks, and that says no to me. He stops drumming and throws my pencil across the room. It doesn't matter I have a pen in my bag.
"Sorry class, I just got a call, I have to go for five minutes stay here" Mr Bremner fast walks out the room. And I gulp, oh god I'm alone with Luke and ashton.
Luke stands up and comes over to me, he grabs my wrist, drags me off my chair and throws me on the floor, the Ashton kicks me in the arm. I feel tears fall down my face, but I don't make a sound, I can't make a sound. so I curl up in a ball.
Luke stands on a chair and says "tell any one, or help her, and your all dead!" He laughed with Ashton and sarcastically pouts his lip and me. "Coming for a fag?" He looks at ashton who nods his head and walks out the class.
I sit back in my chair, no one says anything, no one helps. I just sit at my desk and cry.
Mr Bremner comes back in and looks at Luke's chair and sighs. "Where's Luke?" He looks around the room and his eyes stop on me. "Penny? Do you know?" I gulp and shake my head a bit to fast, "n-no" I stutter. He nods and turns to the board. The lesson seems to go one for hours.
Finally the bell rings.
I walk down the crowded hallway, getting pushed and shoved. I finally reach the door, when my phone vibrates.
Unknown number
Hey loser you have no friends haha 😂
A
I know it's Ashon, he puts A on messages. I don't even no how he got my number.
I'm in the bus stop and the bus comes, god it's cold. I step on the bus and show the driver my ticket. I sit on a seat at the back and feel something hit my head. I turn around and see Callum and Michael laughing at me, they are Luke's friends, I think they are in a band with him, I've heard like singing quietly in class before he is really good but I would never tell him that. I think he has a youtube channel, but I've never actually seen it.
I flatten out the paper that they threw, it said hey loser why are you so ugly
I I crumpled it up and through it on the floor.
I just realised that Luke wasn't waiting for his bus after school, guess he isn't going home today. Why do I even care.
