Misunderstood

Chapter 9

*Alex's POV*

First we were laughing then She is crying in my arms. 

Ii couldn't believe it. How could they be like that to her. I felt like crying with her. I actually did a little. She told me to stay. I guess no one knows about this. And i want to be by her side now. No matter what.

We are in the car driving her home. She is looking out the window. I put my hand on hers. She looks at me "Em i'll be here with you ok?"  She nods. "Hey..do want to come in.?" She asks me as we pull up in her drive way. "What about your brother?" I don't want any trouble. "He is in jail..long story" I nod.

We got out of my car. She opened the door i walked  in she told me to sit. I sat down, i looked around. I saw a picture. There was a girl and a man next to a Christmas tree. The girl was Emily. She was holding a laptop. The man i was guessing was her dad. She has his smile.

She saw  me looking at the picture. "That was the last Christmas he spent with us." I put my arm around her. "It;s going to be alright"

*Emily's POV*

It felt good to have someone on your side. I actually felt loved. I haven't felt like this in a long time. "Do you want something to drink?" I finally asked " Um no i'm fine" He responded. I turned on the TV. "Do you have any movies?" he asked me "What kind?" "Ummm..how about..scary movies..?" He said with a sly smile on his face. It was getting dark out and he wanted to watch scary movies?! I looked at him.. "really? Scary movie? Hows Paranormal Activity 4" He smiles good enough. 

I go to the kitchen to get some popcorn ready. I pour it in a bowl and grab two drinks. "Do you not like scary movies?" asks me "No, I hate them." "Well" was all he could say. 

The whole movie i had my eyes closed. He scooted closer to me and put his arm around me in the middle of the movie. I smiled but didn't let him see it.

I was falling asleep in his arms when my phone vibrated a text message from..Unknown..

I hope you get a good night sleep..haha I'll see you tomorrow sadly..wish i didn't have to. Oh and by the way you are a huge slut. Sweet dreams freak.

Just great. I have to go to the hell hole again. I looked up the movie had ended. "Well its getting late better go. You need to rest." Alex said. I stood up " Yeah um ill talk to you later." He stood up and hugged me. "I Love you Em.Remember that" he kissed my forehead. And walked out the door. I stood there the words ringing in my  head. Was it true?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 I woke up to the alarm. I rolled over to shut it up. I sat up. I don't want to go back to school. I hate it more then i hate my brother. 

I got up and walked over to my bathroom. I brushed my teeth and washed mt face. I walked over to my closet. What to wear? I decided on a normal pair of jeans and a blue V-neck shirt with my pair of Vans. I pulled my hair up in a bun and threw my jacket and backpack on. 

I grabbed my phone as i walked out the door. I walked down the sidewalk feeling usless. I reached the school doors, stopping there looking down. The first bell rang and i walked in i couldnt be late again. I basically ran to homeroom so i wouldn't have to see the bitches.

I sat down and watched everyone else walk in laughing with their..friends.. I felt an emptiness in my stomach as i thought of friends. I put my head down fighting tears.

The second bell rang and the teacher called roll as usual. Then the door opened and a head poked in. It was the principal. The teacher walked over. They talked for a few minutes then he came back in with a new girl to his side.

She was very pretty. "All right class. May i have your attention." Every one turned. "This is Camila, a new student please make her feel welcomed" A bunch of  'Hey's' and 'What's up's' were said. The teacher pointed to a seat next to me. It was the only one opened that's why. 

She walked over and put her bag down. Just as i was about to speak to her the teacher called me over. "Emily, here is your work fro the past two days. You need to study for a test you missed" i rolled my eyes. "And i had a talk with your mom. She is not happy with your grade. So here is an assignment you have to do to pass my class" He gave me piece of paper. "You may go" 

I sat down. Great a research about the Indians. Who cares. I stuffed all the paper in my bag. Camila looked at me. "Hello" i said. She smiled. "Hey" "Um where you move from?" i asked "I moved from Miami, FL. I'm not used to this weather" "Well welcome to Virginia" I said smiling. She smiled back "Thanks"

"Hey, can i see your schedule?" I was curious. She handed it to me. I looked over it same classes except for gym and algebra 1. "Hey we have the same classes except for two." "Maybe you can show me around" i nodded "Sure" 

The bell rang for 2nd period. I remembered i need my science book. "Hold on i need to go to my locker" I told Camila. She followed me. I had totally forgotten about Carrie and Alyssa. "Hey look the whore is here today. Why did you even wake up?" Carrie said walking up to me. I ignored her and kept walking. Camila looked at me "what was that?" "Nothing" I said shaking my head. 

We walked into class. Luckily there were two seats far from them. We sat down. The tardy bell rang. "Al right class today we will be watching a science movie please get out paper and pencil out to take notes." There were groans. Like for real who does that watch a movie and take notes this is pathetic.

She started the movie. Alyssa got up to throw something away well actually to gave me a pice of paper.

Bitch, we saw  you yesterday. Girl if you are trying to look for love. Just. stop. No one is ever going to love you i mean look at yourself your fat, ugly, worth nothing. Haha have a nice day my little slut. Alyssa and Carrie.

I crumbled up the piece of paper. Tears threatening to pour out. I sat there looking at the desk. "Are you ok?" Camila asked. I nodded. The rest of the class i just sat there not caring about the assignment.

Lunch period came Camila had gym before lunch. I saw here sitting alone at a table. Not any table Alyssa and Carrie's table. I walked to her. "Hey i don't think its a good idea to sit here come on lets sit over there" I pointed to the place i always sat at. She looked up "why?" Just as she said that The two bitches showed up. 

"Hey you whore what are you doing at my table?" Carrie said to me. Then she looked down. "Oh so you got a new friend..is she a slut like you?" I looked at her. She can mess with me but she doesn't even know Camila! "Don't call her that." I said looking at her in the eye. "What you going to do bitch?" She was in my face. "You've seen it before" I responded and walked off with Camlia.

We sat down. "What's up with her?" I looked away. "Just my worst enemy" she nodded and ate. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I walked back home. Mom was just leaving. I sat on the couch looking at my bag full of work. I walked up stairs and took my phone out.

Alex: Hey how was school?

Me: good new girl today

Alex: Cool good or not

Me: seems ok

Alex:Nice whats up

Me: Homework text you later

Alex: Alright

I started on math First. I got tired after a while. I laid on my bed. The words they told me stabbing me inside. I let the tears fall. I Got up and went to the bathroom. I looked at my reflection. They were right i'm ugly and fat. I saw a pair of scissors from the corner of my eye. I grabbed it and put it against my arm. I did it again over and over, 

I washed my arm as i cried. I'm a failure good for nothing.
