Joshua's P.O.V
School has finally ended and I rushed home so that I could avoid seeing Nicole.
I know she won't stop bothering me until she finds out the truth. Nicole can be very persistent when she wants to be.
I was almost home when I heard a car beep from behind me. I decided to ignore it and keep walking.
The car then sped up beside me.
"Hello Joselyn! Can you not hear," yelled Nicole.
"I can hear but I chose to ignore you."
"Whatever, get in the car."
"I'm not getting in the car with you."
"Why not?"
"That's a dumb question."
"Okay, I get it. You hate my guts, but I'm just trying to help."
"I DON'T NEED OR WANT YOUR HELP!"
Nicole flinched and I sighed.
"You and your stupid boyfriend make my life a living hell. You've never wanted to help me. All of a sudden, I have a few cuts on my back and you want to help me."
"I understand where you're coming fro..." she started.
" No you fucking don't! You don't know what I go through everyday! You don't have to endure the insulting names people call you every time you walk into the building!"
"Look Josh..." she began.
"No Nicole! Just leave me alone. Go back to your boyfriend and cheerleaders. I don't need your sympathy.
I quickly turned around and continued walking toward my house.
