The Principal

Five

It has been two months since I have talked to John. He keeps blowing my phone up like we're not in the same school already. It was now 2018. A new year, a new attitude towards people. My life has been miserable and it still is. Nothing has changed except for the day and time. The principal, Mr. Matthews has still been going crazy. He makes me come to his office every other week to do some sexual things to keep him sane. I have completely lost my sense of humor. I haven't even been able to laugh at Mr. Jones or Mrs. White. I was depressed.

It was the last day to be able to pay the senior dues. It was hard but I got a job and was quickly able to have a lot of money in my pocket. I had to turn in the dues to Mrs. Jackson. We all had to pay $250 for our dues. It's a smaller senior class only by a few leaving.

I made my way to the school and noticed that John was standing in the middle of the school parking lot. I wanted to run him over but I don't want to go to jail. I parked my car and slammed the door with an attitude. I tried to walk away from John but he quickly pulled my arm.

"WHAT?!" I yelled.

"It was 2 months ago why are you still tripping?" he asked while following my every move.

"I don't care if it was a whole year, I trusted you" I snatched away from him and ran inside the school. I suddenly ran into Mrs. White. What in the world was she doing here? I hope she'll realize how much of a creep Mr. Matthews is.

"Watch where y-" Mrs. White turned around and stopped.

"Hey sweetheart!" Mrs. White smiled and hugged me. Soon as we were about to talk to each other, Mr. Matthews approached us. Every time I was with an adult he was there. I never had a chance of telling anybody in the school. I was still shook by his threat of killing me if I did so.

"Nice to see you know one of our wonderful students" Mr. Matthews shook her hand and looked at me with a fake smile.

"She comes to my school for Mr. Jones's creative writing class after school" F**k! Why would she tell him that? Now I definitely can't tell anybody. He's probably going to follow me there now. I guess this was my fault for not being honest with Mrs. White when I had the chance.

"Oh really?" Mr. Matthews replied while looking at me. They both started walking away from me and probably to his office. Halloween been passed but this still gave me a scare.

I minded my business and went to my first hour class without worrying about Mr. Matthews. Hopefully Mrs. White was going to stay with him the whole day. I pulled out my iPhone and started playing Big Sean's Detroit mixtape. Yes I am a big fan of Big Sean, don't judge. My grades started dropping when this situation began. All of my teachers became concerned but I still couldn't open my mouth about anything. The only good grade I had was in ELA. That was always my best class. It was about to be a new semester and I was ready to put this all behind me. I have to get back to me because the colleges I wanted to attend won't accept the grades I have now. I had one B and the rest were terrible. At least I still didn't have a F which was definitely a relief.

"Marie Washington please report to the principal's office" Mrs. Jackson said over the intercom I was finally focused when she called me to the office. I brought my bag with me and still had Big Sean's Detroit mixtape blasting. Why did everything have to happen during my first hour? I walked towards the office as Mrs. White was leaving. That's when I realized I was in deep trouble with the principal. I walked in the office nervously and waited at the counter.

"Come here" Mr. Matthews walked out of the office and pointed at me. I walked inside of his office and he quickly shut the door. I turned around to his fist coming at my face. I fell down to the ground and covered my face. He was unapologetic about it. Instead of helping me up, he punched me again when I started crying.

"Did you tell her something?" he asked while grabbing my wrist very tightly. I left no answer and he squeezed even harder to the point where I had to check if I had a bruise.

"No I didn't" I cried and he let go of me. I could tell by the way he looked at me that he wanted some from me again. I was basically his sex slave and I had no way to get out unless something happens to Mr. Matthews.

He looked down at me and noticed I had a skirt on. He gave me a devilish smile and suddenly lifted up my skirt very quickly. His hands went up my thighs and he started feeling inside of my panties. He laid me on his desk and started licking my spot. If I could I would kick him in the face but his hands were making sure I didn't. I moaned while still crying.

"Shut up before I give you something to cry about" Mr. Matthews grabbed for his zipper.

"So now you're my dad?" I got angry wanting to slap him but I was trapped. He looked up and smiled again.

"Well I would prefer daddy" he laughed which really frightened me. This man has lost his rightful mind now. Soon as he unzipped his pants, I heard a knock on his door. He came back to his senses and gave me a kiss "goodbye". I walked out of the office and there was Mrs. Jackson.

"What's wrong? It looks like you've been crying" Mrs. Jackson asked looking at my face very closely. I'm assuming Mr. Matthews heard that because he stood at his office door.

"Nothing" I replied and walked away from Mrs. Jackson with my head down. I turned and saw that Mr. Matthews gave me a stern look while letting Mrs. Jackson in his messy.

The day went by really fast after that. I really hate school and I am tired of school. It was a matter of time before I drop out and become something I shouldn't be. It was a very silent ride to Bass High which was a little weird of me. I would at least have some music playing while I'm driving. I made it to Bass High ten minutes before it was time for class to begin. There was no kids in the classroom, I forgot the classes are only on Mondays and Thursdays. Today was Wednesday. I could have an one on one session with him but I really didn't want to. I walked in the classroom with an obvious attitude. I haven't smiled at least once today.

"Marie, what's wrong?" Mr. Jones asked while walking towards me.

"Nothing" I sighed.

"Don't do that, what's wrong?" he asked again.

"I said nothing! Leave me the f**k alone Mr. Jones!" I yelled.

"I let you come into a whole different school and this is the thanks I get? You know what? Get the hell out of here since you feel like that and stay out until that attitude is fixed" Mr. Jones pointed to the door. I was shocked but not shocked. I got up and grabbed my bag. He went to his computer and started rubbing his head. I got in my car and drove back to my house. I looked on my phone and saw that I had missed calls from John and Mr. Matthews. I blocked both of their numbers and got out of the car in anger.

I didn't know what to do with my life anymore. I decided to unblock John's number and call him. It's making me look vulnerable but I really needed the help. I needed someone to talk to. John didn't answer the phone so I dialed his number again and continued calling him. Someone finally answered but it was only Kayla. I sighed and hung up. I guess they were a thing now. Why does he keep stressing me then? I was frustrated. I felt lonely and that was starting to become a normal thing of me as well.

I broke down right in my living room. I really couldn't take it anymore. I went to the bathroom and grabbed the whole bottle of pills. I cried and swallowed all of them. It was probably the least painful way of ending it all.

Goodbye.
