#2 Scars Of A Warrior

Chapter 18: Bullied

*Alexis' pov*

[Gram drops me off at school I'm at my locker Nicki and her friends come up behind me. Nicki yanks my crutches out from under my arms and slaps my books out of my hands I fall she says:]

"Oops. You better watch your back you pathetic bitch."

[I go over to Alexis and help her up she says:]

"Thanks. Could you not mention that to Lexi?"

"No problem. Get to class before you're late."

"See ya."[I close my locker I go into the bathroom I lock myself in a stall I start crying. I hear Nicki and her friends come into the bathroom I cover my mouth and control my breathing so she doesn't hear me. Nicki says:]

"I can't believe that Alexis actually thought we were friends. That girl needs her ass kicked. Who does she think she is? I run this school and she thinks just because she plays soccer that she's better than me? She'll learn eventually."

"Why don't you teach her a lesson? Invite her to your party this weekend."

"Why would I invite that loser to my party?"

"She's actually kind of fun."

"Yea right! I bet Chad and David tried to sleep with her and got disgusted. I heard she was adopted."

"She probably is. She looks nothing like her parents."

[Nicki and her friends leave out of the bathroom I come out of the stall I get all of my homework from my classes and go outside and dial a number he answers:]

"Hello?"

"Can you pick me up?"

"Yea. Are you okay?"

"Please hurry. I just want to go home."

"I'm on the way."

"Okay."[I hang up Nicki and her friends come up behind me one of them punches me in the jaw knocking me to the ground. Nicki punches me in the face and lip she says:]

"Have a nice day metal mouth. Too bad your real parents didn't want you."

[I grab my books and put them in my bookbag I stand up ; three minutes later he pulls up with the sirens on I put my crutches in the backseat and get in the front. I say:]"You had to use sirens?"

"You asked me to hurry. Your mom is not gonna be happy about this. What happened to your lip?"

"Nothing."

"Danielle look at me."[She turns to me. Alexis has a busted lip her cheek is swollen and she has a black eye I say:]"Who did this?"

"Nobody. Can we please just go?"

"No. Not until you tell me who did this."

"You don't get it. A pretty boy like you will never understand. They call me metal mouth. Say I'm adopted cause I don't look like my parents."

"I know I look good but do you think I was always a pretty boy?"

"People like you have always been pretty from the day they were born."

"When I was your age I had bad acne and a back brace. Do you know who Steve Urkel is?"

"Who?"

"The nerdy next door neighbor from Family Matters?"

"What is that?"

"Oh my god. You don't know what Family Matters is?"

"No."
