Why?

Chapter 10

Marie's POV

I mean, if he's keeping it from me it must be important to keep it from anyone else, right? Right!? 'Wait, why do I care so much? Jack can keep secrets from me if he wants to. It's shouldn't matter to me, nor bother me so much. But yet... for some reason...... it does.' Argh! I should just stop thinking about it, or else I'm going to worry myself in some way I don't understand quite yet. I continued to walk slowly next to Jack headed towards our classroom. I never really talked to anyone else except him, and when I did it was either by ourselves or outside of school. When reached our destination, we parted ways since I sit towards the back of the class and Jack sits towards the door.

As I walked towards my desk I saw various of my classmates turning to whisper to the person next to them. But I didn't care what they thought of me, they shouldn't be so obvious about it though. I looked at my desk when I got there, there was writing all over it. Probably each student from our class wrote something on there.

I grabbed a disinfecting wipe to wipe the harsh and cruel words they used to label me with. 'Fake' 'Plastic' 'Emo' 'Unwanted' None of them affected me, I went through the whole thing with a straight face. 'Don't these people have anything better to do?' A pretty, tall, girl with blonde hair walked up to me and broke the murmuring around the classroom...at that moment everyone's eyes were on us.

"Well, look who decided to show up," I flinched as her annoying voice reached my ears.

"Did Carter beat the poor baby to hard yesterday?" She continued as her lip pointed out, pretending to pout.

"Hahahaha, what a loser! Couldn't even save herself and went running home to her mommy." She brought her hands up to her eyes and rocked them up and down pretending to cry.

"Wha-a-wah-a-wah!" A few other people around her started to laugh. 'How immature,' I looked at her and decided to strike back.

"Oh, is the princess upset because daddy didn't buy her a puppy?" I said under my breathe so only I could hear it. It seemed like she heard because her expression screamed irritated.

"What was that? Even Einstein won't understand your dumb language through that irritating voice" As she continues to insult me, the class continues to laugh along with her.

"And lets not forget how she's always clinging on to poor Jack. I mean seriously! 'Oh Jack! save me from the mean bad guy because I'm to useless to actually do something!' 'Oh Jack! That was so heroic of you to save me, but I still got hurt because I'm hopeless! Please nurse me back to health so I can thank you!' " She mocked. With each word she spoke the laughter got louder and louder until the whole room was filled with laughter. That's when I snapped and lost the straight face I was holding. I looked at the floor to hide my tears forming, the teacher walked in finally. He told the class to take their seats, but I ran away from it all. From that girl, from the humility, form my classmates, from Jack. I know he'll come for me, but I didn't want to face him after that. So I made sure he couldn't follow me, and I entered the girls bathroom. Then I silently had my meltdown, I let everything flow out of my tears that I had hold back for so many years. I cried by myself, sitting on the floor in one of the stalls. I wanted somebody to comfort me, a shoulder to cry on, but I know that's not going to happen. No body cares about me. Those thoughts vanished when I heard the stall door open.
