After I finished crying, I went to the bathroom to go freshen up. I checked my face to see if a mark was left on my face, and thank God there wasn't, it was just a little red. Right now, I'm heading to Gym class.I never understood the reason why he does what he does to me, I've never done anything to him. He walked out on me, when he wanted to be popular, and cool. Some friend he was. Anyways, I realized that I haven't properly introduced myself. My name is Riley Anderson. I am 17 years old, and I'm graduating this year, which means I'll finally be out of Satans dungeon!For the past 6 years I've been bullied by my Old best friend. He used to be the most nicest, sweetest person in the world, but then he turned into a jerk. He's exactly how you'd picture him, hot, Captain of the football team, and he gets all the girls. He's currently dating The most popular girl in school. Chelsea Miller. What sucks the most though, is the fact that I have to lie to my mom about us still being friends. She doesn't know about anything that happens to me at school.My mom, and Matt's mom are best friends, so sometimes we have to see each other outside of school. I hate it so much. Matt and I have to pretend to like each other when we are around them. I want to tell her, but I'm just afraid, and Matt would kill me if I ever said anything. Before entering the Gym, I go to my locker, & grab my PE clothes. I shut my locker and walk by myself to class. I open the door, and see all the other girls getting ready. As I walk towards my locker, I trip over someone's foot. I fall face flat onto the floor, and laughs soon surround me. I roll my eyes, and get up. "Thanks" I say sarcastically. I walk over to my locker, and open it. I change, and put my clothes in my bag and shove them into my locker. I close my locker shut, and walk out of the locker room. I get a quick sip of water from the water fountain & head into the gym. I open the door and sit on the bleachers, while everyone sits on the floor in a circle gossiping, and doing weird shit. "Oh great, your here" I hear Chelsea spit out in my face. "Yeah, I go to school here" I say rolling my eyes at her stupidity. "Whatever" She walks away from me, and sits on the floor with her friends. I hear the door open ,and see Matt come through the door. Kill me now. "Matt!" I see Chelsea get off the ground & run up to Matt, and she jumps onto him. They make out for God knows how long, and I'm suddenly feeling nauseous. "Ok, stop making out" Coach Smith yells at us. Everyone quiets down. "Today, we will be playing dodge Ball" a bunch of yes's go around the room, I just keep my mouth shut Because people will judge me. Sad. "Now, we are going to get into groups of 2. There are 12 people in this class, so you will be divided up into groups of 6." Rachael raises her hand "Can we pick our groups?" She asks crossing her fingers. "No, I will be picking groups". Ugh. "Ok first group will be... Chelsea, Matt, Rachael, Sidney, Chad, and Connor" Matt fist bumps the air in joy, while Chelsea throws herself all over him. "The last group will have... Greg, Riley, Jessica, Natalie, Joe, and Finn." An annoyed groan comes out of all of them "mr, I don't want to be in the same group as that weirdo" Greg says. "You get what you get, and you don't get upset, now get in your groups"I Get up from the bleachers & get into my group.The balls get set up and we stand in position. I see everyone from the other side glaring at me intensely, cough cough Matt. "Ok, get ready, get set.... GO!" He blows the whistle and everyone runs and grabs a ball as quickly as they could. I, not giving a crap about the stupid game stood in the same place I was 5 seconds ago. Matt picks up the ball, and he hits me. "Oh no, I've lost" I say sarcastically going to the bleachers. "Riley, get back in there" coach Smith tells me. "What? But I lost" "you didn't even try, actually try this time" I let out a sigh and step back into the game. Ok, all I have to do is not get hit, seems pretty easy. I look around the room, and I see a ball coming straight for me. Before it could hit me, I quickly move my body away. I smile to myself, but then... That's when I got hit in the gut with a ball. I fall onto the ground, and breathe heavily. Where did that even come from? "Your out Riley, get out of here" I hear Matt yell across the room. I get up, and everyone laughs at me. "You guys are the rudest people I have ever met" I say Chelsea laughs "wow, she finally says something" "Yeah, I've had enough of the way you people treat me, I have never done anything to you, I barely know half of the people standing in this room, and most of you all seem to hate me for reasons I don't know, and I'm tired of being pushed around. I just want you to leave me alone" I finally let all of this out, & everyone stares at me in shock. Complete. Utter. Silence. I look at Matt, and find him staring at me. I turn away, and start to walk out of the room. "I'm sorry coach smith,But I have to go" I walk out of the Gym room, and continue my way back to the locker rooms. I change back into my normal clothes, and close my locker. I walk out and try zippers get my gym bag up, but it's stuck. Great I mutter to myself. I then feel myself bump into something, or someone. I look up, and See that It's Matt. "Please, just leave me alone" I say moving away, but he grabs my wrist stopping me from leaving. I look at him and try to get out of his grasp but he's just too strong. "What do you want from me?" I ask in annoyance. "I just want you to shut up, and keep your mouth shut. Do you really think any of us are going to give a crap what you think? Your just making things worse for yourself" he tells me looking into my eyes never letting me go. "Let me go" I yell. He lets me go. "And by the way, what is so wrong with wanting to stand up for myself? Please tell me, and don't give me none of that bullshit, it doesn't mean crap to me. You used to be my best friend, we've known each other since pre-school,& never in my life did I think you would turn out the way you did. I cared about you Matt, all I ever wanted was for us to fix things, & go back to the way things were between us,but it seems that you don't feel the same way, so I'm done, I gave up, and maybe you should quit too, and just leave me be.i hate you, and thank god that I'll be out of your life in no time." I say tears forming into my eyes. He doesn't say anything, he just stares at me and clenches his jaw. I wipe my tears away, and shove him in the shoulder leaving him standing there in shock. I'm done playing his dumb games... Matt, you better find a new hobby, because I'm gone...
