In order to keep a secret, sometimes the best thing to do is pretend like there isn't one...

Let's just say I was right, it did not end well. because all day I have been the center of their attention. this morning they found me at my locker and decided to see who could push me the hardest. Of course being a hockey player Anthony won. binding down he said,
"Maybe next time you should answer instead of being so hostel. we never had problems with you till now."
At lunch I had gone out back were I aways go to eat my Apple and granola bar in peace. So much for that right, they found me and Anthony poured a bottle of water on me. And now, now I'm in the dumpster behind the school. This I knew wasn't as bad as it could get. but as far as he would take it. Anthony may be an asshole but he won't hit a girl.
A while later on my walk home I thought of the trouble i was going to be in. My father wasn't a forgiving person, and the fact that he hated me more than anyone just made it worse. I was supposed to have dinner finished before he got home. But he has been there for almost an hour now. Once I reach the house I saw more than his car there, there was also two motorbikes in the driveway. I swallowed. I know who the bikes belong to. They are my uncle's, and both of them are just as bad, if not worse, than my father.
As I walked up the driveway I heard their laughter, and I started hyperventilating. I had never had to deal with all three of them at once. Only two at the most. and each time I had bruises for a month.
My hands shook as I started to open the door. Not dareing to look up. All laughter stopped as I walked in and closed the door. It was silent until my father spoke.
"Get cleaned up bitch, you look a mess. Once you come back from your grandmother's on Friday you'll get your punishment for being late. Now hurry up." I struggled to run up the stairs because of my sore ankle from my last beating.
Once in the bathroom I look in the mirror to see trash in my knotted hair and dirt all over me. I get a change of clothes from a small cabinet beside the shower. Once I clean myself from the dirt and grime I change into the clothing, grabbing my emergency duffel bag from under the sink I run down stairs after throwing my hair into a messy bun.
"Wait in the fucking car." Said my father.
It was another thirty minutes before he came out. The ride was silent and uncomfortable, once at Grandma's I hurried out of the car with my duffel and up to her front door to knock. As I rose my hand the door flew open reviling Grandma and a man behind her.
"Oh, munchkin you made it! Come on in, we are just getting started-wait where is your father?" She burst.
I looked behind me and didn't see the car. Looking back at her I signed
He must have something important to do.
She nodded as she read my hands. "Well than I guess it's just me, you and all the men, oh! now I can find you a date without your dad complaining." She said as she drug me into the house.
Wait, what men
I sign to her.
"Oh I forgot to mention me and Tod are having a community BBQ in honer of all children with speech problems. And seeing as Tod was in charge of the invitations you and I are the only women at the BBQ." she said. who. The hell. Is Tod.
"Tod, come meet my granddaughter!" Grandma Yells as we make it to the back yard. I keep my eyes trained on the ground, have I mentioned that I hate big crowds? Well I do.
Suddenly I was engulfed in shadows, glancing up through my lashes there is an enormous man in front of me.
"Hello, I'm Tod. What's your name sweetie." He said in a rather gentle tone.
Mayberry I spell in sign language to him.
Grandma is silent, just watching my reaction- " Well Mayberry is a beautiful name for a stunning young woman. Would you like to meet some of my Associates, they've been waiting for this function for quite some time now and would like to meet someone with your disability." I hesitate for a moment but shrug and give him a curt nod before following him into the crowd.
'*"*"*"*"*'
Within two or so hours I had had a conversation with all the men at the function, not including Anthony and his posse who I had bumped into halfway through and than done good to avoid the rest of the time.... Until now. Now I was in the living room where my grandma had just placed us watching some horror movie. Don't get me wrong I love horrors but this one was so predictable, The Texas Chainsaw-Massacre really I mean I've never watched it so it may not be true but in my opinion everyone is already dead.
I look over at the boys only ten minutes into the movie and they looked grossed out, I on the other hand was beginning to love this movie. At some parts I even laughed a full-blown heart healthy laugh. By the end of the movie I was falling asleep, I could sense the boys looking at me and I new they were talking but nothing registered in my mind. For once I was just happy to go to sleep with no beating.

I woke up to the sounds of laughter, cracking open my eyes I see a black TV screen. Looking around the living room there are still people from last night and I also see the boys.
Getting up I go to the kitchen where everyone is talking, I don't look at them, mostly because I am not a morning person who is always happy. No I'm the opposite of that. I get a fudge-round from the counter and a Monster drink from the fridge. Once I hear my grandma's laugh I turn to her only to see her looking at my food, I scowl cradling my food. A small growl comes from my mouth as I continue stocking my arms with junk food.
" Down doggy, no ones taking your food." The old man, Tony said. I grunt in reply.
As I pass the boys, Anthony reaches for a moon-pie that's in my arms, wrong move. I thought to myself as I bent to bite his hand before he could react.
No one touches my food, its mine. I say to myself as he pulls back looking at me like a crazy person. I ignore him and go back to my spot on the couch. I heard my grandma laugh again before saying,
"No one messes with her food, especially this early in the day."
Damn right!
