My life would suck without you

Falling in reverse

"Last but not least, the football field, where all the sweaty jocks come to workout and play football ." Alex said with a little pant, as she been showing the new girl around the whole school for a while, and she was getting tired.

"Wow... Its the same as back home. Well, except, the colors are different." Maggie said un impressed. She started walking away from Alex, making her way to the school.

Alex didn't realize how far she got until she was twenty feet down the field of grass, the running track bordered. Alex started making her way after her. "Hey! Wait! Where are you fr- watch out!"
Alex cut herself off as she saw one of the football players running after the ball and they were running practically backwards in the girls direction.

Maggie turned around in Alex's direction, but stop halfway when she saw the football player running toward her. She braced herself for the impact and before she knew it she was on the ground. But she was a little confused. The football player was in front of her, she should have fallen backwards into the hard track, not off to the side, in soft grass, with long soft hair cascading around her face.

"Are you okay!?"

Maggie opened her eyes after the impact, from the sound of a concerning voice. She was immediately graced with hair, covering any sight of her face and the other women's, to anyone watching them.

"I'm starting to think you like being on top of me Danvers." Maggie grinned. Mentally patting herself on the back for that one. A statement which caused Alex to blush, a plus for Maggie.

"I-I a..." Alex studdered as she looked off to the side, hiding her blush, and thinking of what to say. Her brain completely short circuiting at what the girl had said, and the closeness of the position they were in "Can you tell me your name?" Alex said finally looking back down at the new girl.

"Really?? Okay, it's Maggie. Maggie Sawyer." Maggie gave her a small smile. Realizing what was happening, she had to put a stop to it, after all, she only wanted to be friends with the popular kids, not some creepy goth girl. "Now, can you please get off of me, I don't wanna have your shit goth perfume smell all over me." Maggie said with irritation in her face and voice.

"Oh. Ok." Was all Alex was able to get out, before she got up off Maggie. She extended her hand out for her to take. But Maggie just waved it away.

It hurt Maggie a little as she watched the small smile on the girls face change to a frown.

"So... Mag-

"Let me stop you right there Danvers." Maggie gestered toward her with her finger, as she cut her off. "We are not friends. And we will never be friends, okay? I don't want you confusing any of this as us getting close. First things first," Maggie bagan, as she started counting on her fingers. "I don't hang out with losers like you, and secondly, a dyke, got it!?"

Alex just stood there. Looking at Maggie who had a serious expression on her face. She felt tears start to form in her eyes and she tried her best to hold them back.

"You better not fucking cry!" Maggie said, anger now in her voice.

"I uh...." Alex began but stopped then quickly turned around and started running toward the school, away from Maggie. She kept running, not looking back. She finally made it to a door at the side of the school. She was on the B side of the building, where the math and English classes were. She kept running until she made it to the bathroom, bumping into a few students on her way there.

She made sure no one was in there first, then she went into the fourth stall in the back. She unbuttoned her pants and pulled them down just enough to expose her thighs, then she sat down, and started pulling out some tissues and a little ziplock bag that held a little razer blade inside. She sat the tissues down on her lap, not even bothering to wipe away the tears in her eyes. She took the razer blade out of the bag and started cutting lines into the skin of her upper thighs.

"Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! I can't believe I thought for a second she would wanna be my friend! I'm not pretty! And Im a freak!" Alex began to cry as she said these things, but never doubted them to be true for a second. She sat there for the next half hour, just feeling the pain to block out the hurt she felt in her heart, and to punish herself.

Maggie made her way into her 1st period, 10 minutes late because of the tour of the school Alex gave her. But it was fine because she was acscused, and it was just the first day. She made her way to the back corner of the room, to the only table that was empty. She sat down and settled in, getting lost in thought; about what had happened out on the football feild, drowning out whatever the teacher was saying about what they would be doing in that class. She didn't even notice someone walking into the classroom sometime later. Not until she heard her name being called. She looked up to see the teacher and the student in the front of the class talking; It was Alex, the teacher looked at Maggie again.

"Mrs Sawyer, it looks like it's your lucky day. You get to sit next to the class T.A., that means she'll be your partner in any projects or experiments we will be having." The forensics teacher said with a small smile as he walked away.

Maggie watched as a hesitant Alex made her way back toward her. She couldn't help noticing Alex's runny eyeliner, under the hood she was wearing to try and cover her face. She also couldn't help noticing the little wince of pain in Alex's face as she walked. Alex never looked Maggie in the eye, avoiding any chance of looking at her as she sat her things down on the table and took her seat. A small hiss of pain could be heard from Alex as she sat. Maggie wanted to say something, but stopped herself, in case she said something stupid.

Alex sat, and immediately as she did so she layed her head down on the table. To scared to look at Maggie. She started tensing up. So many thoughts ran through her mind. And she felt scared. She should have stayed in the bathroom, or have gone home, cause right now she was going to have a panic attack. Maggie must have been able to tell, because all of sudden there was a hand on her back rubbing soothingly there. Alex started to relax some. She looked over at Maggie and saw her facing the oppisite direction from her, with her face in her hand.

Alex almost thought she was gonna say something, but then the bell went off for next period. Alex quickly got up and got her things and started walking toward the front of the room to her next class, but then slowed down when she felt someones hand in hers. She looked down at there conjoined hands and saw that Maggie was standing behind her and she felt something being put in her hand. And as quickly as her hand was in hers it was gone and then Maggie was walking out the door a few students a head of her.

She stopped for a second and turned her head toward Alex making eye contact, and then started making her way down the hall.

Alex opened her hand and looked down to see a little scrunched up piece of paper. She opened it up to see "Call me... Or text me, if you want to, I don't expect you to though." Written down, with seven digits under the sentence. Alex put the little paper in her pocket and made her way to her next class. Hoping to take a nap and get away from all the stress.
