-Zayn's Last Class Period
*3rd Person's Pov
"Today class we will be talking about the effects bullying could have on people . You would think since you all are 17 and 18 Bullying would not be an issue . That is not true at all . There have been complaints set out by parents , other pupils and anonymous persons of bullying . People don't think about the effect it has on their target . You never know what is going on with them . So know if you look at the projecter here is a list of effects it might have on someone . Someone raise your hand and tell me what sticks out to you the most . " Mr. Higgins asked his quiet class .
Multiple hands shot up . He searched the room and his eyes landed on the Hispanic girl with curly hair .
" Estephany ." He said signalling for her to speak .
" Umm ." She searched the board slowly . "Self Harm ." She said finnaly .
"Excellent choice , so lets talk about self harm . When people hear that word they thing of cutting , but it also includes burning , scratching , beating and any other type of abuse to ones self . Everyones explanation for doing it is usually; home issues , insecurities , mental illnesses and guess what ? Bullying . Look at this passage from a girl who self harms .
" I've been feeling down and depressed latley . My friends talk about me . My boyfriend let a goup of his mates rape me . The worlds thinks of me as useless ( which I am ) and I don't know what to do with myself . I heard about self harm , never really thought I would have any use for it . But I recently stated thinking about it . 3 weeks ago I made my first cut . It was small bu enough to feel . Now I understand . When people talk about self harming , they aren't saying it feels good when they cut . No . That's crazy . It's just that the pain from it helps you forget about all of the other emotional and in my case sometimes physicall pain we endure . "

This passage was meant to prevent bullying . What Mr.Higgins did not know was , there was a broken , hurt , depressed and pale faced boy that loked like the life had been sucked out of him sitting at the back of the room letting the thoughts of self harm seep into his curious and darring mind .
*Store Worker's Pov
It's pretty much abandoned in here right now . That was until a boy who looked like walking death walked into the store . He walked past each aisle grazing his finger on the shelves were the merchandise lay . As he went down one aisle he stopped for 2 seconds and walked backwards slowly . He stopped at something and picked it up . He then started walking around again I saw that it was where the medicals items were . I couldn't see him from here .
He started walking towards he counter , he and put the small box on the counter . I reconized immediately what it was . Razor blades , alcohol and bandages .
I took a look at the items and pieced everything together . These items gives me ideas . As I rung up everything he grabbed a bucket load of the pain black stretchy bracelets on the shelf . I put all the items in a bag . I took another look at him . He looked so young .
He paid for the items and with that he disappeared from the doors .

Should I do this . Well iv'e already picked everything up to make the move . I mean really . I have nothing to live for . Im useless . He left me there , I'm such an idiot . I feel the tears falling already . The rain started to pour hardly . The wind blew hard as well . The sound of thunder and lightning struck my ears . The weather reflected exactly how I feel . I thought maybe he'd talk to me but my hopes fell short after 3 days . I blame him as much as I blame myself . I'm a disgrace . I would have left my disgusting self also .
I sobbed violently as I walked through the door . I was looking at the floor as a sobbed loudly . I could see his feet about 10 feet away pointed towards me this only made me sob louder . I kept my head down and went to my room . I dumped the soaked materials on the bed .
It's time to make a decision .
I know it's short . I had to sneak this one in. So technically isn't this a cliffhanger ? Ehh . I don't know .
