Why can't I be normal?

Chapter 4

Rebecca's POV:

We were sitting on a hill with the sun set setting behind us. It was a romantic picnic with candles. We were looking at each other smiling and laughing, suddenly he leaned in and I did too. We k-

BEEEEEP BEEEEEP

Was I really dreaming about Jacob? Do I still like him? I guess so.

No time to think about him, I need to get ready for school. I took a shower and brushed my teeth. I changed into a baby blue off the shoulder shirt with white ripped jeans and my brown cowgirl boots. I dried my hair, curled it and put a little makeup on. I grabbed my my purse and my backpack and went downstairs.

As every morning my mom is in the kitchen making breakfast.

"Have you given love more though?", my mo asked setting my breakfast down in front of me.

Here we go again. Can I once have a peaceful morning without my mom lecturing me about love? I guess not. Ugh!

"No, I have not. I told you I was too busy for love", I said eating my breakfast.

Actually that was a lie. I have given love a lot of thought. I haven't completely given up on love but I'm not so sure if I should give it a chance or not. I think I like Jacob but I'm not for sure. I need to talk to him but how can I talk to him if I get so nervous?

"Rebecca! Rebecca!", my mom yelled.

"What?!", I yelled snapping back to reality.

"Claire is here", she said.

"Oh ok. Bye mom", I said grabbing my purse, backpack and coffee and running out the door.

Claire was on her phone texting when I came into the car.

"What took you so long this morning?", she asked setting her phone down and driving to school.

"I woke up late", I lied.

"And you still look that good? Wow", she said.

The car ride was pretty quiet. When we got to school I went straight to my locker to grab my books. I was about to walk to class when I saw Jacob and a bunch of his friends.

Jacob's POV:

I saw Rebecca go to her locker and I was about to go say hi to her when my girlfriend Lucy grabbed my hand.

"What are you looking at", she asked looking where I was looking.

"Nothing", I lied.

She suddenly saw what I was looking at and smiled.

"Look it's the freak", she said turning to the group.

"Lets go greet her", my best friend Daniel.

"I don't th-", I started to say but Lucy dragged me over to Rebecca.

They walked up to Rebecca and she just stood there in fear starring at them.

"Hello freak", said Lucy

"W-what d-do y-you w-want?", she asked stuttering with fear.

"To kick your ass", said Daniel.

Before I could say or do anything Lucy grabbed Rebecca by her hair and slammed her in the lockers. Rebecca didn't even have time to get up because Daniel kicked her in her stomach. Rebecca finally stood up but was knocked down again by a punch in the face by my other best friend Brandon. She couldn't even stand, she just sat on the floor groaning in pain with her face all bruised and her nose bleeding.

"Let's go", said Lucy turning her back away from Rebecca.

The whole group followed her and I stood there starring at Rebecca.

"Here, let me help you", I said walking to her holding my hand out.

Rebecca's POV:

"No! Don't touch me!", I screamed backing away from him.

"B-but I want to help", he said walking towards me.

"No! Just stay away from me! You could have helped me by standing up for me and not letting your so called "friends" beat me up", I angrily said trying to get up.

I didn't even give him a chance to say anything, I walked away with 1 hand on my stomach and 1 at my nose trying to stop the bleeding. I went to the bathroom to freshen up. I got my nose to stop bleeding but I had a huge bruise on my cheek.

Oh how am I suppose to explain this to my mom? If I tell her she's just going to freak out but if I don't tell her she's just going to find out either way. What do I do?

4 hours later

School was finally over. I walked out of school with my head down, trying to avoid eye contact with everyone. I guess I wasn't watching where I was going, as usual and bumped into someone.

"Watch where your going", a girl voice said not looking at me.

"Oh, I'm so sorry", I said looking up holding my cheek.

"You better be", Lucy said looking at me.

I backed away and try to run but her friend Anna grabbed my hand a threw me to the ground. Lucy came to down to punch me but was thrown a side by a tall figure.

Finally an update! I'm so sorry it's been so long, I just started school and had practice all summer. I'm sorry this wasn't as long as I wanted it to be but at least it's something. I'm going to try to update as much as possible but it's not going to be that much. Thanks so much for reading! I really hope you like the chapter!
