"We don't care what them people say.."

- Shawn Mendes, "Life of The Party"

"You can call it fire and ice but we work so well, and we don't even know why.." Isabelle and I sang in unison to the song " Why" by Sabrina Carpenter.

You don't even know how obsessed we are with this song.

"We don't even know why.. NO NO!" Isabelle sang with the beautiful voice she has.

I wish I could have gotten that trait from mom because my singing is awful. It sounds like a dog in pain. But her voice is from an angel and I am not exaggerating.

I park the car beside a tree at school and we both get out of the car. I open the backseat and take out Isabelle's backpack. She kisses me in the cheek and goes into the school.

"At last, a little me time" I said while I close the door.

I go into the driver's seat and plug my phone to let it charge. I connect it to my radio through Bluetooth and hit "shuffle" to my playlist in Spotify.

"She played the fiddle in an Irish band but she fell in love with an English man..." I sang-shouted to one of the best songs of my Ed.

I hear the bell ring, so I turn off the car and take my phone and backpack with me. I start running inside, as always, but I bump into someone.

"Want another ice battle?" Shawn says.

"I was gonna say I was sorry but now I just don't wanna say anything at all" I said and walked up the stairs.

"By the way, you might want to cover that up" I said. Shawn's perfect face got ruin by Mr. Jealous and now he has a purple bruise on his left cheek.

I take out my makeup powder and plant it softly on that area.

"Thanks" he said, smiling as wide as he could without hurting him.

"Yeah, covering that just saved my day" I said.

"Why?" Shawn asked, curious.

"You know, curiosity killed the cat" I said.

"But satisfaction brought it back" he completed. I smirk and walk toward my locker as he followed behind.

I didn't want to tell him about me being bullied everyday because he is gonna get all defensive about me and being honest, nobody knows I am bullied. The only thing they know is that stupid rumor and nothing else. Not even my Isabelle and Charlotte. I am planning to keep it that way.

Then, I hear people murmuring, people whispering, and pointing at me. What is going on?

As I get to my locker, I see a bunch of people gathered around it. When they see me standing there, they fast walk away. Then, I see something that will never be erased from my mind.

"BULLY" was written in red spray paint across my locker. I gasp and cover my mouth. I bite my tongue to stop myself from crying in front of everyone.

You are tough Luna, you are strong.

I take a sharp breath and and exhale. I can't hold it anymore. I fast walk to the girl's bathroom and close the door with lock. My body slides down using the door and I pull my knees close to my head and start crying. I haven't cried this much in my entire life.

I was okay with a stupid little rumor running around that left me without friends, and that was because I got used to it, but this?! This just got way out of hand. If there was a way that I could tell everyone it is not true without using violence, I would had done it by now because nobody will believe me if I just tell them.
