The Nerd

Red Sea

The bell rings ending the school day, everyone hurriedly rushes out of the classroom.

I take my time putting my binder back in my bag, swinging it over my shoulder, making my way towards my locker.

I see the crowd slowly make way and part like the Red Sea for someone, more of a group to walk through. I stand on my tip toes trying to identify which popular group was causing all the traffic, when I realize it was Katie and her witches, starring right at me.

I quickly turn around trying to make an escape through the crowd of people but, she catches me.

Her voice booms through the hallway, "Samantha!"

Someone violently grabs me, throwing me into the middle of the crowd, blocking my way of escape.

I quickly recovery from my stumble and send the person a glare, before turning around to face the raft of the nasty beast an her minions.

They walk with confidence, swaying, walking as if they're on a runway but, the anger on Katie's face was totally visible.

She comes to a stop in front of me placing her hands on her hips an the others follow in suit with her actions.

"Samantha," She says with venom.

"Katie." I say quietly, with a slight nod.

"You know I never got you back for the day you had your grummy hands all over my boyfriend."

I roll my eyes an sigh, "I didn't have my hands-" before I could finish my sentence Katie picks me up by my collar and slams me into the nearest locker, I wince in pain as my book bag falls from my shoulder.

"I didn't give you permission to speak," She says angrily.

"I didn't know I was taking commands," I spit back at her, which earns me another slam into the lockers.

"Shut up!" She yells.

I shut my eyes quickly as she brings her fist up in the air, waiting for the impact but, it never comes I slowly open my eyes to see anger on her face still present and her fist slowly coming down.

I let out a laugh, "I forgot can't break a precious nail can we?"

She tightens her hold on my collar, "No, I rather you feel the pain of embarrassment it last longer than a hit and can haunt you forever, and besides-" She quickly lets go of my collar, which sends me falling down on my arse against the lockers, "-wouldn't wanna get suspended now would we," She says, patting her hands together as if she was wiping dirt off her hands.

I grunt in response, as I slowly get up off the ground, taking my book bag with me.

Katie gives me an evil smile as kids around us pull out their phones and start recording for the show that's about to go down.

Katie kicks her right foot out an swings it at my legs knocking my feet from under me, sending me flying face first onto the tiled floor as my glasses fly off my face and skid to a stop right in front of Katie, my forehead bangs into the floor as I let out a yelp.

That's definitely gonna leave a mark.

She steps on my glasses with her four inch high heels, squishing them into the floor making a crunch every time she
applies more force, I look up around the crowd as everyone watches but, everything comes out as a blur due to my glasses being gone.

She than reaches beside me grabbing my book bag and swinging it behind her letting all the contents in my bag scatter across the hall as she drops the bag at her feet.

Than one by one each of the girls step on each finger of my right hand, as I let out a scream, hearing and feeling the pain of the bones in my fingers being crushed to death.

Katie, finally satisfied with the torture today, grabs her minions and exits the building not without a smirk and a wave at me first of course.

Everyone soon goes back to exiting the building as well, as the school days over and they have more important things to do than help the poor defenseless nerd out.

I slowly push myself up off the floor, with my left hand and the help of my right elbow, and sit up against the lockers.

I hold my right hand at my stomach as I let out quiet sobs from the pain that's erupting up my hand

Slowly I get up and pick up my scattered belongs putting them back in my bag and throwing my crushed glasses away, those won't be any help anymore.

I push open the double doors to the exit of the school, letting the cool wind blow through my hair, seeing as school ended awhile ago my cars the only car left in the parking lot.

Katie didn't manage to forget graffitiing it before she left.

I let a loud sigh as more tears roll down my cheeks.

I reach my car, unlocking it an throwing my bag in the back. I start the car and start heading to the doctor, got to fix my five broken fingers some how.
