Shadow Girl

Starting a new Year

I tightly hug my school books as I walk down the halls nervously, I wonder if anyone has noticed me yet...... I soon approach my locker on the left hand side of the corridor. I open it for the first time this year, a blast of dust gushes out. I haven't opened my locker since the whole of summer. I place my books inside quickly, hoping no on sees the contents of my locker. All the horrible memories of Year 7 are bundled into this locker, all my secrets and fears, my whole life is inside it. One false move and everyone could know everything about me. I hear the bell ring, and slam the door of my locker. As I slam the door, I notice something imprinted on the left hand side off my locker. "You are nothing, a nobody." I also noticed the words "Shadow Girl." Shadow girl? I was curious, I wanted to know what this meant. I have been called many names before, but this name was different, I felt as if the person who imprinted this in my locker knew me. I guess I will never know.

I hurry to Form, as I am already 5 minutes late. When I enter the door everyone stares at me. "ahh, Ayesha you are here have a seat next to Aimee and Serena" spoke Miss. Iredale.

As she said the names Aimee and Serena, my heart skipped a beat. They were my old friends in Year 7, sadly something happened between us and we broke up. Since then they have been bullying me, I never understood why they do, and why we even broke up. After this happened I never had any friends, I didn't want to go through this again so I never made any.

I approach their table slowly, and carefully sit down. They smirk at me and start whispering to each other. I know they are talking about me, they always do. I decide to ignore them.

After a couple of minutes Miss. Iredale says "Okay class, I have just completed the register now you can talk amongst yourselves" I gulp as Aimee turns towards me. "Ugh, look who showed up Shadow girl" she laughs " You look so ugly today, well worse than usual ha." I look away and and focus on a poster at the front of the classroom. "Oh, so you are ignoring me, trying to make this year better? Well consider this year your worst, I'm making your life a living hell! ha!" I feel myself lowering, I want the ground to swallow me whole... I don't want to be here. "Just answer me idiot" Aimee shouts. I turn my face away from her. "Omg, your nose looks like Rumpelstiltskin haha!" She laughs louder. My face drops and Serena looks at me. "It's not funny, that's just stupid." I replied "yeah it is" laughs Serena. She then kicks me and steals my shoe. "This shoe is so disgusting, where did you get it, shoe zone haha!" They laugh together. "Give it back" I demand. "No, why should we you are just a stupid little girl." " Just give it or you will regret it!" I say louder. "ahaha regret it seriously haha" she says. I lean forward and try to grab my shoe, but within a split second Serena throws the shoe across the class.

No, my eyes widen as the shoes lands near Wild boy. I blush so hard as I rush over and grab it. He laughs then turns away. My jaw falls, I'm so embarrassed. My old flat shoe landed in front of my crush. It had to land near him Wild boy...
