The Dramatic Life of Phoebe Madison

Part 2: When the Drama Starts

Chapter 3: The Beginning of the Day

As I walked into class, everyone stopped what they were doing and just stood there and stared. It made my really anxious. Since Olivia wasn't in my class...I had no one to talk to. I wish that someone would come up to me and be my friend. I had heard from Olivia that all of the bullies were in my class...and she was right.

The teachers name was Mrs. Finkleberg and I thought she was a nice teacher, but I was wrong.

"Take your seat students, you better sit your butts in these chairs! I know you don't want to be here and either do I, but I am here so you have to be here, so sit the hell down!!", yelled Mrs. FInkleberg, in a really angry tone.

"Oh, shut up.", screamed this kid named Xavier.

He looked like a nice boy, but on the inside he was a nasty sucker. He was probably one of the meanest people I have ever met.

"What's your name little girl?", asked Xavier.

I looked like I could be in 7th grade. I am very short, I have a thin face, and I have a thin body.

"Its none of your business!!", I screamed. "Student's sit you butt's down in a seat!!", said Mrs. Finkleberg.

It was by the end of first period, that I have not only been bullied for the way I look, but for the way I talk and especially my name. That mean boy Xavier said that my name sounded like a baby's name. During second period, which was Algebra 2 in room 322, the teacher was super nice. Her name was Mrs. James and she was probably the nicest person I have ever meet. While Mrs. James was taking attendance, she told the class some stories about her summer. After attendance, we got into a circle and introduced ourselves. So when I told everyone about myself, I heard some laughter.

Then, when I looked across the room, the only thing I could think to myself was "OMG....WHY ARE THOSE GIRLS LAUGHING AND STARING AT ME??"

After Algebra, I was walking to my next class, and I heard some kids yelling "Do you see that girl..I think her name is Pheobe? Anyway, she is super ugly!!!"

I just kept walking and cussing to myself.

Chapter 4: Later That Night on Instagram

Later on that night, my mom had asked me how my first day of ninth grade went. I told her that kids were making fun of me for my name and the way I look. She told me just to ignore the comments and stay focused on my study's. After we talked about my day, I looked at my Instagram and saw that I had 35 new follow requests. So after accepting all the requests, I posted a picture of me in my new gym leo, that I got for the new season. Immediately after I posted the pic, I had 17 comments, in a snap. I couldn't check the comments util I got home from gymnastics.

When my sister doesn't feel good, she likes to do so dancing and singing around the house. So, Piper went to gymnastics with me. After all, she will do whatever she can to have fun. Piper is a level 4 gymnast who used to compete, but since she has cancer, she can't do tricks or tumble, as much as she used to. I think she is really happy to spend time with me, because every time we go to gymnastics, she has a really big smile on her face.

When we got home from gymnastics, I looked at the comments, and there were over 50 comments, from ONE person, and you won't believe who, OLIVIA!!!

I started reading the comments and some of which said, "Your super ugly or don't wear that, you ugly girl!!"

I showed my mom, and she just said "Ignore it!!" 'But how do ignore it?', I questioned myself.

It was the next morning. Time to get ready for school, and today I set my alarm. When I went to check my Instagram, I had over 150 comments from kids at my school. I didn't even bother reading them because I knew that if read them, I would just be putting myself down. So, when I got into school, I just stopped in my tracks. Everyone in ninth grade was staring at me!!! So, I walked to my locker and did my normal thing, while everyone was looking at me of course.

Then, this kid came up to me and said, "Why don't you get out of here, you ugly horror!!"

I just ignored her and kept doing what I was doing and then Olivia came up to me and said, "So, how did you like what I said about you? Anything to say?"

"You know what, why don't you just leave her alone? What did she ever do to you?", said this girl, who's name I think was Gina.

"Why don't you not talk to me, and stop standing up for this ugly girl?", said Olivia.

"That's it-", I said, "you know what, why do I even have to be here? Its my second day at this school and I've already been bullied! Mind as well just go home, where I belong!!", and I ran out of the building, as fast as I could!!
