Bullied

School-chapter 3

Braylyn's POV
We finally got to school, and I just didn't want to get off the bus. I wanted to stay hidden forever. The bus stopped and everyone got off.

"Braylyn?" Someone says.

I quickly peek over the seat to see who's speaking, "Yes..?"

"Honey, you need to get off the bus. It's time for school." The bus lady says.

"H-h-how did you know I was back here?" I asked kinda surprised.

"I make sure everyone who rides the bus gets off the bus, and I wanted to make sure you were alright."

"I-i-i-im f-f-fine," I said bending the truth.

"Are you sure, because if not you know you can talk to me right?"

Someone to talk to??? I haven't had someone like that since my best friend in 9th grade.... Long story short she left school because of bullies, annndd I was stuck alone by myself to deal with them.

"I'm fine."

"Okay honey, now get to class before you're late."

I got up and walked quickly out of the bus

"Thanks," I say on my way out.

"Anytime."

I jump over the steps on the bus, and run to the school. I open the doors and sprint down the hallway to my classroom, not even caring about how much pain I'm in. If my mom finds out I was late again, I'm dead, literally. I finally make it to my first class. I take a deep breath and open the doors.

~Riiiinnngggg~

"I'M HERE," I say out of breath.

Everyone's heads turn toward me. Oh no... All I hear is complete silence and a few coughs.

-cough cough- "slut." Ariel says quietly but loud enough that the class can hear. A huge roar of laughter comes from the class.

"Okay okay that's enough," my teacher says not even caring about what just happened.

"Late again Ms. McCormick."

"No! Please!" I said knowing something bad was going to happen to me tonight.

"I'm sorry rules are rules, and you broke them."

"I-I was on the bus, and I got held up."

"Okay then wheres your excuse note?"

"I-I-I don't have one," I said very quietly.

"What did you say?"

"I don't have one," I said a lot louder.

"Well then you're late."

I walked over to my desk, and plopped in my chair. All eyes were on me. I felt my cheeks go red, and my ears burned. Ariel and her little minions were laughing their heads off. I imagined standing up for myself over and over again in my head, but I never had the courage to do it.

"All right class..."

~30 minutes later~

-rriiinnnnngggg-

I got up and basically sprinted out of the classroom. I had to get out of there. My locker was in the other side of school. It was almost impossible to not get made fun of on the way there. I just can't wait until school is over. I only like one thing about school, music class. I love to sing, I may suck, but I love it. It's always been my passion, and what I've always wanted to do.

I made it half way down the hallway when suddenly I was face-first on the ground. Arielhad the biggest smirk on her face.

~flashback~

Braylyn's POV

Ace is supposed to show me around school today. To be honest I'm really excited. The bus slowly came to a stop, and we all got off the bus. I have no idea where to go, and I don't know where Ace went. I'm scared. Suddenly I feel someone poke my sides. I jump, almost peeing my pants. I turn around to see a blue-eyed weirdo.

"Ace! You scared the crap out of me!"

"Sorry," he said obviously thinking that this is amusing. He had the biggest smirk on his face. Suddenly he bursts out into laughter.

"It's not funny! you scared me!" I said with a pouty face.

"Okay okay, I'm sorry, and I mean it this time," he said giving me a hug. My heart started beating faster, and my face turned bright red.

"Hmph, am I interrupting something," a girl said in a sassy tone. I let go of Ace and turned around to see the girl Ace was sitting with on the bus. My smile faded away.

"Uh, no Ariel. This random girl came up to me and grabbed me." Ace said.

"What! That's not..." I got cut off.

"Not what? Not true? Explain why you were hugging my boyfriend."

"I told you Ariel, she threw herself on me," Ace said before I said anything. Why would he say that?

"You stupid girl, get away from us, and if you do anything like this again you're dead." I was left standing there alone.

"Great how am I going to find my way now?"
