I left for school and picked up Taylor on my way. We were running late so I went straight to homeroom. Once the bell rang I went to my locker to pick up some things. When I opened it a piece of paper fell to the ground thinking it was nothing I shoved it in my bag and grabbed my algebra book. When I got to class I dug through my bag to find the piece of paper. It was a note.
"I don't know who you think you are exactly but you're nothing special. You're actually pretty pathetic so do us all a favor and get over yourself. You no good p.o.s. - xoxox"
I could feel the tears form in my eyes, I take everything anyone says to me to heart. I never understood why some people hated me so much but I tried so hard to be nice to everyone. When I new I was going to cry I excused myself from class to go to the bathroom and I spent the rest of class there. When I went back to get my things for Mr. Carter's room he was erasing the board. With his back face toward me he started to talk.
"Long bathroom break Miss Trippy." he said.
I kept my voice low trying not to show any evidence that I was crying, "I know I'm sorry Mr. Carter."
He immediately turned around, "You're crying. Are you okay?"
I put on my best smile, "Yeah, don't worry about it Mr. Carter."
"Alright. See you tomorrow Alexia." he said.
I nodded and hurried my way to the door. Knocking into a few people in the hall I made it to my next class on time. I hid in the back of the room not wanting to make eye contact with anyone. I just kept thinking about the note and who wrote it. I skipped lunch and sat in my car not wanting to be questioned by Taylor or Jake or Tommy. Then I remembered Logan was still off school so I called him.
"Hey Lex. What's up?" he sounded concerned.
I sniffled back some tears, "I got a note in my locker today. Logan, why does everyone hate me?"
"Huh? Nobody hates you Lex." he assured me.
I read him the note, "Yupp, it sounds like everyone loves me."
"Lex, that's just bitches being bitches." he said.
"I'm so frustrated." I slammed my hand down.
"I know you are, Lex. Just calm down and go back to class." Logan said.
"Are your parents home?" I asked.
"No they took Jax to the doctors. Told me they won't be home until after dinner. Why?"
"Can I come over?" I sniffled.
Logan sighed, "Lex, you can't skip."
"I just want to get out of here." I said.
"Fine, but Lex you're going to get caught." he warned.
"No I won't. I'll be over in ten." I hung up the phone.
As soon as I got out of the school parking lot I sped all the way to Logan's. I ran to his house and he met me outside catching me in a hug then wiping my tears and hair out of my face.
"You can't let them get to you." Logan said.
I kissed him, "I know."
We went inside his house and went to the basement to watch a movie. Logan spent most of the time massaging my back. I got a text from Taylor.
"Where you?" it said.
"Sorry, nurse sent me home sick. I'll pick you up after the bell for gym." I replied.
