Fallen (Suicide Child Book 2)

Alexis POV

~Later In Class~

Alexis sat at her desk in the back sulking as other kids were talking and working. Her lip was busted, she had those two cuts, her head was swollen and purple, and she had almost a black eye. She felt ashamed to look like she does. Then a boy came up to her and spoke, "Did that happen in sports? Haha! I bet you couldn't catch the ball and it busted your face up!" She continued working, he tried again "Hey punk, i'm talking to you. Answer me freak." she still didn't talk and the boy's friends came over, his "squad" as he called them. The bully looked over at them, then back at Alexis "I bet the mirror finally fought back from having to look at you." Then she gave in "Actually i'm gonna' do the same thing to your face but worse. Maybe, i'll make an improvement." he got mad and responded "Oh yeah whatcha' gonna' do little girl? You are just a girl." Alexis smiled and stood up. Suddenly she attacked him.  Alexis pinned the boy to the floor and steadily punched him in the face.  The teacher and principal were trying to get her off but failed. Blood was on the floor and she heard the boy's nose crack. Finally they pulled her off.

In the office

Principal- "Alexis why would you do that?"

Alexis- "Because, he kept harassing me about my face."

Principal- "What even happened to your face?"

Alexis- "Uh..sports."

Principal- "Hm, well what did he say?"

Alexis- "Well, he said...that..I was just a girl. He called me a freak and punk."

Principal- "That doesn't give you the right to fight him, Alexis. So stop tattling."

Alexis-  "Oh my god. Are you kidding? I tell that people bully me and you say 'don't tattle'-"

Principal- "Enough! You do not tattle because you are in the 5th grade.-"

Alexis- "But you don't understand! I'm sick of people harassing me, I fought back finally."

Principal- "This is your first time so i'm going to let you go with a warning. I don't want to see you here again Mrs.Smith."

Alexis- "Surrree."

Alexis got up and slammed the door. She walked to class and sat down. "Will I ever love anyone. Will anyone ever love me? I am nobody." she thought to herself. Alexis was a beautiful girl, those bruises made people misjudge her. The thought that she would have to go home to violence terrified her. 'Will Scarlet be there to comfort me?' she thought. Then a little girl walked up to her with the same bruises and a few cuts. "Hi, i'm Ellie, uhm how'd you get your injuries?" "Why do you care?' Alexis asked not looking up from her paper. "Because, I have the same, well almost, injuries." Alexis pulled her in and whispered to her. "My parents hate me. That's how I got these." she said. Then the girl stood straight back up and then leaned back down to whisper, "Me too." she said then walked back to her seat. Alexis didn't know what  just happened but knew that she would need to look after her.
