Aug. 24th - First Day of Freshman Year
5:04 PM.
Today was my first day of high school. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I sat in the back of all my classes and prayed that no one would talk to me. But, of course, my prayer wasn't answered. John Krovac deliberately sat next to me - my elementary school bully. He probably sat there so that he could have direct aim towards me. I was right.
He kept throwing crumpled pieces of paper at me. The first time he did it, I uncrumpled the paper, showing the word "whore" written in orange right smack in the middle.
I almost cried, but it's okay, I held it together. I didn't even have to ask the teacher to go into the bathroom. John threw more paper at me, but I didn't bother to open them. The teacher didn't notice him throwing the stupid paper. I mean, how can someone be so blind? I thought that this year it would be different. I thought that he was done torturing me. But no, apparently not.
Maybe I should start listening to his words. He wouldn't be torturing me if he didn't have a reason to, right?
