Kiera

      I was sitting there in the bathroom stall. I didn't know what to do. I have English 3rd and 4th period so that basically means even if I go to 4th period he'll still be there. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't get myself to leave. I want to just sit here and never see that man again. He wasn't even that drunk at Ashely's party, so that's what makes me think that what he did was intentional. In fact the man almost looked sober, but his breathe still smelled like alcohol. I'm so confused. If only I had never went to the party then none of this would happen and I'd be a normal girl paying attention to the English sub instead of sitting in a bathroom stall pathetically.
      I just want to go home. Maybe I can just pretend to be sick and leave. But how will I do that? I can't just sit here and grow mushrooms!
I suddenly see someone crawl under the stall. It's Mia. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "The sub told me to go check up on you. Why did you just run off like that?" She asked looking pretty worried. I sighed,"That guy tried to rape me at Ashely's party." I looked up at the ceiling. "Omg Kiera why didn't you tell me?!" She exclaimed. "Because at the time I thought that I didn't need to tell anyone and that it would never bother me. But recently I saw him again and I just felt like the same thing would happen all over again and at the same time I felt so angry." I explained. Mia walked towards me and hugged me. "I'm sorry you had to experience something like that." She tried to comfort me but it didn't work.
I really am tired of all the "sorries". "It's alright. I'm fine now, but I just need to find a way to get out of here." I sighed. "Well I don't know either, but if it helps 4th period is almost over." She said. "I guess." I looked down.
Somehow Mia was able to get me out of the restroom and we walked back to class. To my surprise the sub said nothing as I walked in. I couldn't even look at that man. I tried to think of other things and to avoid eye contact with him, but it only helped me a little bit. It didn't help me forget what he did.
          I got through the rest of the period, but I felt pretty antisocial for some reason. Lunch came and I decided to sit by myself for once. People kept giving me weird stares, but none of it mattered to me. PE came by, but I decided to help the other PE teachers since I didn't feel like talking to anyone. Ivan stared at me a few times, but I shook it off since I just wanted some time away from everyone.
             After school I got home pretty quickly, and checked up on my dad to see how he was doing. There wasn't much homework to do since I pretty much finished most of it during lunch so I finished the rest and went to the garage. I got out my brother's skateboard and decided to skate for a bit to help clear my mind.
             I rode past the park, past my school, past jack in the box, and eventually I past by Ivan's house. I stopped and stared at it for a few seconds until I heard someone say, "You're getting pretty good at skating." It was Ivan. His cute smile made me blush. I was speechless until he asked, "Why have you been ignoring me?" I tried to look straight at him and said, "I don't know, I just felt like I needed sometime alone."
       "Oh, alright." He looked relieved. He started to walk back to his house and said,             
"Well see you tomorrow I guess." "No!"  How did that come out of my mouth?! I guess I want to spend even more time with him. "Cute." He smirked with his hands behind his head. He started walking towards me when I unexpectedly hugged him. Sometimes my body just does what it wants I guess. I hugged him so tightly that it made me realize how lonely I've must have been this entire time without him. I looked up to find his face way too close to mine and then he kissed me. When we let go I giggled which made me feel embarrassed. I kissed him back and giggled again. I can't help myself I just feel so happy when we kiss.
