"MOVE"
"GET OUT OF MY WAY NERD"

Those are the words I hear everyday.
I dread coming to school, but I still know I have to if I want to get in a good college.

I probably have bruises on my shoulders by now from getting pushed or slammed into the lockers.

I wasn't always "the nerd" or "the bullied one." 

I wasn't popular, but I wasn't invisible. I used to be known as the girl who's best friends with Hayes Grier.

He's changed. I changed. My friends changed. And basically everything turned upside down for me.

I try my hardest to ignore it I really do, but every where I turn they're whispers or people waiting for the right moment to pull a prank or they're just waiting for the right time to strike.

It's sad to think that people have nothing better to do with their lives, then hurt people.

I have one friend his name is Tyler. When Hayes dropped me you could say he "swooped me." He's been there ever since it happened and I couldn't have been more grateful to have a friend like him.

People always ask if we're dating and we always roll our eyes and say no. It might seem like we do couple stuff or act as if we were one, but really we are just best friends. And plus he already like this other girl.

Tyler is the kind of friend that will be there at 2:00am with popcorn and movies if you can't sleep. Or if you had a bad breakup he'd be there with the ice cream.

Hayes was 2x that. He would know if I was sad wouldn't leave me alone until I told him what was going on he knew if I was lying. Tyler does to sometimes, but it's not the same.

I do miss Hayes sometimes, but the hate that has build up over the years I don't think I could ever be friends with him again.

He betrayed me.

He chose them over me.

He bullied me.

He did everything that a best friend isn't supposed do.

Now it's senior year and it continues, but this year im willing to fight back.

I'm not going down without a fight.

If he wants to hurt me with his words then I'm not gonna cry over it. I might have a few words of my own to say to him, but I will not be a pushover.

The hardest thing about fighting back is that when you look into their eyes you swear you could see the old self,but in a flash its back to the eyes you don't remember.

You swear for a split second that they would leave you alone just for a day.

You swear that when you look that it would be back to normal.

Sad part is that what you see isn't really the reality.

The reality is that he really left you.

He really bullies you.

He really doesn't give a crap about you.

You can wish nothing wrong with that, but when you wish in something for so long you just give up on it, and that's what I did I gave up on Hayes Grier.


It's the first day of school and we're seniors now. This year is going to be different, I can feel it.

I get dressed and ready for the day. I'm wearing a black crop with high waisted shorts and my black vans.
