Not So Perfect

Chapter two||

Anna's POV

May was something different. Not like anyone I've met before. She's so bold and happy. But looking deep into her eyes I can see the pain.

I was on the dreaded bus ride home. My bus driver was horrible and I really wanted to spend my whole day with May.

I kept my earbuds securely in my ears as I gazed out the window. I was getting closer and closer to home. I hated it.

-

It was finally my turn to get off the bus. Instead of taking the route directly home I walked slowly down the long way. There was a clearing close to my home that I went in everyday after school. I sat and spent the next few minutes there before heading home.

"Anna where the hell have you been" asked my drunk step-dad

I quietly walked through the garage, picking up the empty beer bottles on my way.

"Hey honey, how was school" my all to cheery mum asked

I gave her a thumbs up and went directly to my room, my dog trailing behind me. I closed my bedroom door keeping the light off before collapsing onto my bed.

-

Hours had passed and I only had just got out of bed and waked the short few steps to my desk, pulling out my homework and notebooks.

I had a maths test soon and homework due tomorrow. I sighed before scooping up my pencil and beginning to work.

After I had finished I pulled out my own personal notebooks. I wrote in my daily entry into the first one before moving to the next notebook to write poetry. It was my way to relax.

"Anna dinners ready" I heard someone call from the kitchen

"Busy" i mumble yelled back.

A mere few seconds later my door flung open without warning. Through instinct I threw my language art book over my two notebooks.

"Get your ass up and eat with the family" James -my stepdad- yelled

I sprung up and ran out he door. I nervously sat down and began to eat. Spaghetti and meatballs. I ate half my meal before i dismissed myself.

I quickly texted my dad making sure our plans were still happening.

I layed down on my phone and slowly drifted off to sleep.

-

BEEP BEEP BEEP

I hastily grabbed my phone and turned the alarm off.

Slowly getting out of bed I threw on a band shirt and my jeans before sliding all my bracelets on along with my shoes.

I only had one class with May today sadly.

I headed to the bus stop in a jog to make sure I made it. I made it with a few minutes to spare. I pilled out my phone and went directly to Tumblr. I looked at my asks trying to pass the time, only to be greeted with tons of messages. I read through each of them.

"Haha what a fat-ass"

"Eww your nasty"

"EW faggot alert"

"Dumb bitch"

I looked up to the sound of the bus horn. I ran onto the bus sitting down and reading the rest. All were bad, some worse than others. I wiped my eyes before scrunching into the seat.

Everything they said was right. I'm nothing. Just some dumb, fat, ugly, bitch. Who made the mistake of coming out on the internet where kids from school followed me.

I dried my tears as the bus pulled into school. I kept my head down as I walked through the crowd. I bumped into someone in my haste.

"Shit, sorry" I said sniffling

"You're fi- wait, Anna?" the voice said

I looked up to see May. My eyes widened and I went around her quickly before she could see my face.

"Wait Anna" I heard her call

I ran straight for the bathrooms, locking myself in a stall. I sat there catching my breath as a few tears fell from my eyes.

The warning bell rang signaling time to head to class. I quickly went to my first period trying to m=not be late.

I kept my head down while working. I didn't want anymore attention on me.

-

First and second period had gone by slowly as lunch became closer. I never lifted my head during switch periods trying to minimize the casualties.

The bell rang signaling lunch. The teacher dismissed us and we all left rapidly trying to get our lunch.

I just sat at my usual table, not feeling the need to eat...or want to eat.

I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to see a girl I had never seen before.

"Is it true that you're gay?" she asked with a judgmental tone

"Yeah, but don't worry i'm only attracted to cute girls" I snapped back

"Ugh, how dare you. You bitch" she said before walking away.

This has become my life.

-

It was now time for fourth period- my favorite. No not because it was the last, simply because the teacher cares about us.

"Aright after attendance I want to talk to Anna" she said as everyone sat down.

May looked over and gave me a questioning look. I shrugged my shoulders and faced forward.

After attendance was called Mrs. Thompson took me into the hallway.

"So I've been hearing what people are saying about you" she said with a sad look in her eyes

I looked at her with pain in my eyes. I can't believe even she heard about it.

"Can we talk it in front of the class? I'm okay with them hearing it from me instead of from someone talking about me." I said

She nodded and lead me back to the classroom.

I stood in the front of the room, earning questioning looks from everyone.

I cleared my throat. "So you guys may be hearing what people are saying about me" I said weakly

Most still looked confused while others looked like they knew what I was talking about.

"Well let me tell you the real story...
