The Nobody

Chapter 2

I couldn't help but smile a little when she backed away from me. Just when I thought I was able to get passed her she is on me. We both hit the ground hard and she begins to pull my hair. I start to thrash around.

That's when I grab her hair and yanks it hard and I bite her hard on the hand. She yelps and jumps off of me. I get up and I was just about to turn around and leave. When she punches me in the nose. I hear a crack and I knew my nose was broken when I felt my nose gushing out blood.

That's when I get angry and I punch her pretty mouth and I smiled in satisfaction. When I saw some of her teeth flying out of her mouth. I sneer at her and spit on her. "Don't touch me you whore!" I yelled. She couldn't say anything back. I gather my things and I walk to the forest finally.

I was so intent on getting to my secret place that I didn't realize I was being followed. Until I heard a twig snap. I spin around in surprise and see that it was Andy again. "So you go and start stalking people?" I couldn't help but put anger to my bite.

Why can't anyone get it? Not everyone wants friends. Including when they do nothing but stab you in the back or in the front. It's rare to find a good friend these days. I knew this from experience. I didn't want to be hurt again. As I was thinking about all of this that's when he takes a step towards me.

That's when I lost it I threw my things on the ground and I jump on him. I hear myself mewling like a cat. When I jump on him that's when we both hit the ground and I was on top of him. It took me by surprise and I look down at him.

He seemed to be calmed despite me attacking him. As soon as I realized what I was doing I roll off of him. I get up and I look down at him. "I'm so sorry I don't know what came over me," I said a little too low for him to hear.

But he acted like he heard me. Because he gets up and hands me my stuff and smiles. "Its ok," he said. After he gave me back my stuff I take off running leaving him behind. I hear him shout my name but I ignored him and kept running.

Finally I get to my secret place and I climb the ladder to the tree house. I know it was stupid of me to take refuge in a tree house but it was something my dad and I did together. When I was younger. He and I used to be so close.

I used to be close to my family until my taste in clothes and music changed and that's when we started to fall apart. That's why I decided to just come out here when things became too hard for me to deal with.

I just wanted things to go back to normal I knew that would never happen. That's why I knew to just accept that I'm a nobody. As I was thinking of these things that's when I heard someone walking through the woods.

I could hear the twigs snapping under someone's weight. I decided to crouch down to check to see who it was storming through the woods. That's when I see Andy again. He must have followed me all the way here. I don't say anything and I watch him look around.

Then I see him looking up and I hold in my breath. I was hoping he wouldn't find me up here I made sure I was well hidden. He stands there looking up and I want to yell at him to go away but I knew I couldn't. So I keep it to myself.

Soon he finally leaves and I breathe a sigh of relief. I get up and I sit down and I begin to draw. I draw a girl in the middle of a dark woods surrounded by death. Crying tears of blood. Her broken wings ripped off of her laying next to her on either side.

There are others behind her laughing at her after they ripped her wings out. I look up after I'm done to realize that it was getting dark. I get up and climbs out of the tree house and I walk home. As soon as I get in I hear my parents walking down the stairs about ready to yell at me no doubt.

I quickly go to my room. I close the door and sure enough they burst into my room and they looked at me with anger. I knew there was going to be screaming. Sure enough they begin to yell at me. "Where have you been?! It's getting dark and your nowhere to be found?! Are you doing drugs?! Is that it?! We have looked through your things!" my mom yelled.

That's when I get angry and looks at them. "I'M NOT DOING DRUGS! DO YOU NOT NOTICE THAT MY NOSE IS BUSTED? THAT I GET BULLIED AT SCHOOL?! NO YOU DON'T! YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT YOURSELVES AND YOUR IMAGE!" I shouted at them.

My mom walks towards me and slaps me across the face. I hold my cheek and I feel my tears coming out. "How dare you talk to us that way!" My mom shouted at me. I get mad and I storm pass them after shouting out. "I HATE YOU BOTH! I RATHER BE DEAD THEN BE YOUR DAUGHTER!" I shout and I run out of the house.

I run back to the tree house and I hugs my knees to my chest and I keep crying. Why can't they care? What did I do to be hurt by them? Why can't they love me for who I am? I don't know how long I stayed in the tree house but before I knew it I wake up and it's morning.

At first I forget where I am at then I gasp in shock. Realizing what time it was and I jump out of the tree house and I run to school. I didn't care that I was wearing yesterday's clothes and that my face was coated in blood. I just knew that I had to get there before everyone else.

Sure enough I get there before anyone and I goes and cleans up my face and rebreaks my nose. I try not to cry in pain as it pops back into place. I clean up the fresh blood and makes sure to pinches my nose to stop the bleeding. After a while it stops and I clean myself up the best I could.

Thankfully I have an extra pair of clothes in my bag and I change out of my clothes and I looks in the mirror and I didn't like what I saw. I saw a girl lonely and sad. I saw a girl who was tired of being accused for being someone she wasn't.

I saw a girl who wanted to fit in but no matter how hard she tries to please others it doesn't work out. I couldn't help but reach my hand out and touch the glass. I hold my breathe in thinking my fingers will past through the glass and that I will realize that all of this time I was dreaming.

That beyond this glass was the world I belong to and be accepted. But just like I knew would happen my fingers touch nothing but glass and I'm snapped back into reality. That's when I hear others coming inside. I quickly run out careful to not hit anyone.

I go to my favorite class which was my art class and draw. The teacher said I could use it anytime I wanted to. Her name is Mrs. Lisa she was the only one who cared about me and encouraged my drawings. Pretty soon I hear the bell ring and I go to class and deal with it.

Finally classes are over with and I didn't have to deal with Andy much. He just seemed to watch me.
