hopes pov
well stuff has changed a lot and i mean stuff i mean people.I was walking along to my locker when some body stop me.I looked up and saw James.I smile and was happy.
"hi james so did u get your math homework done."
"oh just shut up hope."
I stopped and look at him upset.
"what."
My voice was stuttering bad and i was scared.James has never talk to me like that.
"you heard me Hope.Your small stupid,very ugly and u dont have any friends."
That made me really upset and my eyes got watery.Those words he just said really hurt.I never thought he would say that to me.I thought he was my friend.My friend for life.I tried to speak but my voice cracked.I try my best to talk normal but it was no use.
"james how could u say that to me i thought you were my friend."
He just laughed.
"me be friends with a girl like you.that would never be true."
I knew this was not the james i know.
"james please snap out of it.what happen to you.you broke your promise."
"that promise was nothing.You mean nothing to me.I never liked you. i just being nice to make our parents happy.So you better just stay out of my way for now on."
all of a sudden i was on the ground and couldnt see out of one my eyes my eye.I tried my best not to cry.
"aww it look like the poor baby hope is bout to cry."
I then got up and ran to the bathroom and look in the mirror.I saw a big black and blue ring around my eye and i can see it swelled up bad.I got out and walk home.I hoped my parents didnt see me when i got in but i knew i couldnt hide it from them.As i was going up my porch i looked over and saw James getting out of his car.He saw me and smirk.He then went in.I frowned and ran past my parents.I then got to my room and shut my door.What happen in the halls kept repeating its self in my head.I cried quietly and cant believe what keeps happening.I heard a knock on my door.
"come in."
it was my mom.
"sweetie why didnt you say hi to us when you came in.Is everything ok"
she sat on my bed and put a hand on my shoulder.I nodded.
"yes mom im fine."my voice crack
"hope i know something is wrong.what happen?"
I looked at her.She gasp.
"hope who done this to you."
I didnt want James to get in trouble even if he did do it.I still care for him.I want him to be happy even if it mean me being sad.I shoke my head.
"no body did mom.I just ran into a door thats all."
she laughs a little."hope sweetie,you cant pull that on me.I know someone did this to you.who is it?"
I looked down and shake head.
" he is just a bully mom. Please dont not go and talk to the school bout it.It will just make it worse."I could she was upset but also she knew what i meant.
"ok sweetie but if it get worse i am going down to that school.do you got me?"
I nodded saying i do.
"ok its time for dinner."
I shook my head."im not hungry mom"
she just sigh and rub my back."ok well if you want to eat dinner is there for you."
I smiled and nodded.
"thanks mom"
She then left the room and i ly there and cried myself to sleep*
