Scared Like Always

Today is the day I tell what happened to Austin. Of course, it won't be easily, but I'll have to try. this is the only way I have a chance to prove I'm worth to something. Yes, there is a possibly that he might bully me even harder, possibly even kill me, but it's a chance I'm willing to take. 

But, of course, there are some distractions. 

I walked downstairs happy that it was Friday, and that the week was almost over. I don't know about you, but I have had a rough week. Mom was in the kitchen reading her book, a novel called To Kill A Mocking Bird, Sam was eating breakfast, and I was ready to start school and just be over with today. I kissed my mom and little brother goodbye, and I went outside to the real world and school. 

"Hey Anna! How was your day yesterday?" Alison asked me cheerily.

 How was Alison hyper all the time? Did she drink some sort of super coffee or what? If so, I need it....like NOW. She was always like this and I never really noticed it until now. 

"Oh, you know the casual." I said, matter-of-factly.

Alison gave me a confused look.

"Well, what's the casual?" She asked, curiosity filling her voice as she talked. 

"Oh, you know.. just doing nothing and sitting on your bed all day, on the internet probably." I lazily said. 

Little did Alison know, I actually solved a murder.( OK, not really but close to it) I was just so tired yet happy that I "solved" it. I mean, who in the world do you know that could go though something like this and the next day, pretend like nothing happened? (Oh wait... that's everyone.) 

"How was your day yesterday?" I asked her, distracting her from what really happened yesterday. 

"Oh I was doing homework, studying, and watching Ms. Funny Voice." She smiled at me. "Have you checked her videos yet, they are pretty good."

Why do I always forget things that keep coming back? It's not fair. 

"Oh yeah I watched it, it was pretty good! I hope she does more soon." 

Alison nodded and we went to our classes. 

Everything that happened today was a blur until I saw him. The guy that pushed me in the hallway, the guy that threw my books on the ground, and most importantly, the guy that got his mother killed because of my dad. 

Austin. 

I thought about how if it was really worth it to tell him what happened. I mean, yeah I would be able to tell him much easier if he wasn't my bully. If I tell him, the bullying will become much worse, and everything will crash down. But if I don't tell him, the bullying will stay at the same level, but if he found out himself, he would kill me and possibly my whole family. 

And I can't just let that happen. 

I decided that I would tell him at the end of the day because then I would be able to run for it if I needed to. Agreeing with my decision, I grabbed my things and went to my last class. My last class was easy, so maybe I can think of other things than fearing for my life.

Time seemed to slow down as class started. Which was good in my case, but the nervous and anxiety feeling wasn't. I was shaking of fear so hard, that Alison even asked if I was OK.

"Anna? Are you OK?" Alison asked, her voice filled with worry.

"I'm fine, why?" I asked her, trying to hide my shaking hand. 

"I'm just wondering." 

I turned my head from Alison to the clock. It was 12:25, only five minutes until the bell rang and school was over. 

The class started to pack up their things and waited for the bell. Everyone was cheering for the week to be over, but I wasn't. I was busy waiting for my death. 

The bell rang and everyone went home. I was the last one out of the classroom, mentally preparing. 

It's OK, Anna. You can do it. Just tell him then run like hell. 

I slowly walked into the hallway and saw Austin. 

Austin was with his two girlfriends, on each of his shoulders. His two friends were behind him, like bodyguards. Austin was laughing, probably at his own joke, and his gang were walking straight towards me. 

Let's do this.
