Chances Given

Chapter 4

I didn't know what to do with myself anymore. I was just a waist of space. I was always late to classes due to the fact that I spend 15 minutes looking for my class. I have to feel the brail on each door until I finally reach the one I'm looking for. when I was 4 my mother hired a professional to teach me brail. I finished when I was 11. they wanted to make sure I was completely ready to go to regular school. 

I entered the classroom and prepared to start my dreadful day. it started off with linsey Vinni "accidentally" bumping into me causing all my books to fall on the floor. I kneeled down attempting to find all my books as they laughed at my struggles. I was about to pick up my last book when a foot stomped on top of it. 

" you want it. beg for it" she said in a voice to where it seemed that she was getting bored. I sat for a second. I wasn't going to speak a word to this insecure jerk who took out her insecurites on me. I was sick of her. I grabbed onto her ankle and lifted it off the ground causing her to fall. I smiled. I wish I could have seen it. I stood up with my book. just then I grabbed one of her books and put it on the ground only to stomp on it.

" you want it, you beg for it, trash." I said in an evil voice. I probably said it more evil in my head but it didnt matter to me, they did this to Malcolm, and they will not do this to me. 

" whoah she spoke! guess she's not a mute freak after all." a jock laughed with his friends.

" what do you mean! she's still a freak!" one of his friends joined in.

" hey! what about me! this stupid freak is putting her dirty foot on my book!" Lisa complained. I heard a door open and footsteps, high heels most likely. the teacher. 

" what is going on here!" the teacher exclaimed in dramatic voice. I removed my foot from her book and said nothing.

" thank you ms. Hensley, Mina here was being very rude and purposefully stepped on my book! not to mention that she pushed me! don't you think she deserves punishment." linsey said in the most immature, snobby voice that sounds as if a five- year old were saying it. I couldn't believe this. could people really be this mean? 

" Mina biers. I'm sorry but I'm going to have to sent you to the principals office, I'm predicting a weeks worth of suspension will be the case." ms. Hensley said in a voice that might have had some petty in it. I was sick of petty. I was sick of lies and unfairness. they say life is unfair,  is this what they meant. Malcolm said I could take on the bullies, that he couldn't. I was going to prove him right. I will not get pushed down like he did. I stepped back. I turned around without a word, not like that was unusual, I then walked out of the classroom. I wasn't going to the office though. I found my way to the front of the school. it would be smart if they locked it maybe. I simply walked out. I thought I could handle this. it was all for brother. my legs were shaking and uncontrollably as I sobbed. I stood up still shaky and ran. no more school. I didn't pay attention even the slightest bit anyway. I knew it was a bad idea to run from my last experience but I couldn't have cared less. that's when I heard a small " mew " some where near me. a cat? then I felt silky fur rub against my leg. I kneeled down as a small fur ball jumped into my lap. this cat seemed friendly and in need of a friend, so did I. I slowly stroked its fur and it loudly purred. maybe a cat would help me feel a little better. I slowly picked it up and, it let me. 

" you're a strange cat. I'm a strange girl. wanna be friends?" I said quietly . the cat replied with a small "mew" again.

" I'll take that as a yes." I smiled lightly. I hadn't smiled in at least two years. actually I had smiled when I pushed linsey. but this was better, happy. 

I was exsausted when I had gotten home. my sister must have been at work. I set cat down gently. 

" you like your new home? I'm going to my room to take a nap. wanna come?" the cat nuzzled against my legs. I got to my room and slumped into bed. the cat followed and lied close to me.

"we had a long day. I have no idea how I'm going to explain this to Ashely." this is the most I've spoken in years, strange to say that speaking is exshausting. I then slowly drifted off to sleep
