Annabeth

Hate

Caitlin's POV :

Was I really obvious? Yes I'll admit there is something wrong. I've been getting bullied and judged myself. At first I could care less what others said to me about being stupid for being friends with Annabeth, but now the words got harsher and now im the one getting bullied. The only reason why I defended Annabeth in the first place was because I wanted to prove others wrong. That she wasn't different. She was just like us. A normal girl trying to fit in.

"Nothing is wrong Annabeth. Don't worry I'm fine", I say with a fake smile on my face.

"Oh okay. But if anything is wrong, you know you could tell me ok?"

"Yes I know."

I had thoughts about ditching Annabeth in middle school but I didn't want to crush her spirits. My reasons were also kind of stupid. I'm leaving her because I'm getting bullied. She's right. I should be able to tell her anything without having her worry so much. Now I just feel bad.

I go on my phone and click the link that leads me to my account on ask.fm.

"26 questions".

It hurt me. I didn't know whether to respond to it or not. Should I even try and defend myself? It all read:

"Why are you even friends with Annabeth?"

"Are you stupid?"

"God you're such a loser just like that Annabeth girl."

"Go kill yourself."

"Bitch."

Wow. The highlight of my day. HATE. I leave ask.fm without responding to any of those questions. So what if I wanna be friends with Annabeth? Unlike them, she's caring and nice. I go back on my ask.fm and respond to one questions that said "Bitch".

"You know what? I never asked for your dam opinion. You're words are worthless to me. It just proves my life is more interesting than yours. But if I were you, I'd shove that opinion of yours up your asshole."

I literally forgot that I was still with Annabeth. I lock my phone, pretending nothing happened at all. Maybe I'll tell her what's happening. I don't know. I'm still hoping all this hate will go away.

Suddenly I get a notification. I look at my phone and saw something I wished I never saw. Annabeth looks at me with confusion. I put my phone away, telling myself that I'll look at it later.

"So what is our plan today?", I say.
