"Anorexic"
"Nerd"
"Teacher's Pet"
"Bitch"
"Slut'
'Whore"
"Attention Seeker"
Those were just some of the names I was called at West Hamilton High School. I clutch my history books into my chest as I get pushed around by other students. I finally reach my history classroom and the snickering and bitterness begins once again. Hooray?
As I slowly walk towards my desk at the back of the room, I watch everyone from the corner of my eye whispering to each other and giving me disgusted looks. I ignore them knowing exactly what they're saying and simply accepting the fact that they're right. As I begin to sit down my favourite teacher Mrs Harwood walk into the classroom and acknowledges everyone with a nod but winks at me , I smile in return .
As the bell rings I slowly stand up and grab my books. As everyone is about to leave, Mrs Harwood calls me over. I walk up to her smiling weakly . "Hello darling" she smiles. "Hey" I say quietly trying to sound happy . " What happened this time hun ? " she asks concerned. "The name calling again" I say looking down as I hold back my tears. "Oh hunny, come here" she smiles gesturing me into a hug. "You're going to get through this. Just stay strong " she says whispering into my ear .
As I walk out of the classroom feeling a bit stronger, I run into the head cheerleader and her little trio. Oh.God.This.Wont.Be.Good. "Girls look who it is! Its the scrawny little nerd!" Lacy the head cheerleader says and the girls burst out in laughter. "Are you looking for your friends dear? Oh wait you don't have any!" Amber explains and the whole room joins their laughing party. "Let's go girls" Lacy said strutting away from the crowd. As they walk away Ashleigh quickly gives me a warm smile.. as if shes almost saying sorry.
PS: The girl on the photo is Lacey.
