TrollHunters: The Changeling Hybrid

Ch.8 an odd school day pt.2

//Warning! slight TW in this ch. due to bullying! Also Quick Q. What song do you think Bella will sing for the talent?

---------------------------------------------

Bella blew a strand of hair out of her face as she opened her locker door. Automatically a few notes fell out but Bella managed to catch them before they hit the ground. She unfolded one and looked at it confused. The note read:

'Did you do it?'

Bella was confused. Do what? What would she had done? She tossed it back into her locker and unfolded another one.

'I can't believe you actually did it!'

This time Bella held onto the not and unfolded the last one. Her jaw nearly dropped on the note in big bold lettering it read

'I can't believe you kissed Steve -"

She looked around her at the students who had gathered around her. In the middle of the group was none other than Steve him self. Bella looked around in shock at all the students around he who wore snickering, laughing and whispering about her. Bella turned to look at Steve "you sank this low? And all because I refused a date? I can't believe you!" She cried. A few tears slid down her cheeks there was no doubt she was the laughing stock of the school now.

Steve's smirk seemed to falter but only for a near second before returning to its smirk before he could say anything else Strickler cut him off.

"A right what is the meaning of this?" He asked annoyed that students won't wear they wore supposed to be.

Bella looked at him before quietly walking over to Strickler and handing him the notes. She held her head down as she walked past him. Her hair covered part of her face. She gripped her hands into fists than in one swift motion she then slapped Steve across the face shocking students and even Strickler him self. Bella looked up at him then Looked back down at her hand then back up at Steve's face. Across his face was a set of claw marks right where she had slapped him. Bella's eyes grew large.

Had she done that?

But how?

She only slapped him!

Bella suddenly took off past everybody she headed her name being called by Jim and the others but ignored it. She was too broken to care at that point.

The janitors closet was dimly lit by Bella's phone. The glow from. The phone lit up Bella's face as she stared at a picture of her self and her mother. Bella wished she was here she wanted to be told everything was ok everything would be fine and turn out ok. She stared at her phone for a few more moments before clicking out of the picture. She logged into her YouTube account and pulled up a playlist filled with songs that usually made her feel better when upset. The one she loved the most was 'Warrior' By Demi Lovato. Instantly the song began to play.

'This is a story that I have never told
I gotta get this off my chest to let it go
I need to take back the light inside you stole You're a criminal And you steal like you're a pro-'

A few tears slid down Bella's face as she began to sing along quietly.

'All the pain and the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I was broken and bruised

Now I'm a warrior
Now I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me again

By now a few sobs escaped out of Bella's mouth

Out of the ashes, I'm burning like a fire
You can save your apologies, you're nothing but a liar
I've got shame, I've got scars
That I will never show
I'm a survivor
In more ways than you know

Cause all the pain and the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I'm not broken or bruised

'Cause now I'm a warrior

Now I've got thicker skinI'm a warriorI'm stronger than I've ever beenAnd my armor, is made of steel, you can't get inI'm a warriorAnd you can never hurt me

More sobs came.

There's a part of me I can't get back

A little girl grew up too fast
All it took was once, I'll never be the same
Now I'm taking back my life today
Nothing left that you can say
Cause you are never gonna take the blame anyway

Now I'm a warrior

I've got thicker skinI'm a warriorI'm stronger than I've ever beenAnd my armor is made of steel, you can't get inI'm a warriorAnd you can never hurt me again

No oh, yeah, yeah

You can never hurt me again

Sob's rocked the fifteen-year old's body. yes, she was the victim of bullying but never to this existence! sure she, her self-have made enemies but most never took it as far as Steve did. For a moment she thought that this school would be different. she would be excepted for who she was and never judged.

of course, that turned out to be just a dream.

A dream that Bella had lost out on.

Bella didn't notice the door opening. But then again at the same time if she did notice she didn't care. she felt a hand on her shoulder and she emidtly backed away and curled up into a ball. What happened today was the last straw for Bella.

"I don't want to be here, I want my mom." she sobbed not caring if the person next to her thought she was being childish.

"Bella you're going to be fine." Strickler said calmly. "Everything's going to be fine"

Bella broke. THose were the exact same words her mother would use to calm her down at her old school. THis only caused her to sob harder. Strickler pulled her into a fatherly hug and held her, consoling her and also letting her know he was there. By the time Bella has finally calmed down it was two in the afternoon. she was tired, to say the least. and who could blame her? she had cried for nearly an hour and ahalf. Her sobbing died down to quit crying, then to just a few hiccups.

"Let's take you home." Strickler said. knowing it wasn't a good thing for Bella to be here any longer than what she had to. Bella merely nodded and didn't say a word. She stood up and dusted the jacket she wore off. she walked by Strickler who watched after her with a sad look.
