Hi, my name is Bella Moon. I have a great life. My mom loves me, my dad is my sunshine, and my favorite person in the world is my younger brother, Marcus Moon. He's 11, and I'm 17. My life was so amazing, I had no care in the world! Until a couple of girls from my school started to Cyber bully me. No one knows who they are. I cry every day. It was horrible.
Right now, I'm sitting in my bedroom reading "The School for Good and Evil". It's a great book, but it would be better if I had a great life. "Bella? Are you alright?" My mom asks from outside the bedroom. "Yeah, I'm fine," I shout.
"You sure?"
"Yep."
My phone vibrates.
I shrugged. I finished my homework at the library today, so I had a bunch of free time. I went to bed early to catch up an a LOT of missed sleep.
—The Next Day—
I woke up feeling refreshed. After brushing my teeth and showering, I pulled on some black jeans, a white undershirt, a gray sweater with a black heart, black sunglasses, and my gray vans and white beanie. I was going for a gray approach.
I sling my backpack over my shoulder, grabbed an apple, and hopped into my rusty but beautiful van and drive to school.
Sarah walks up to me the moment I park. As soon as I climb out, she says, "Did you see the new update on Facebook? They're talking about you again!" Sarah says.
I shake my head and turn on my phone. I open the Facebook app and look for the status. Then I find it.
How could people be so cruel?!?! A tear slipped out of my eye. I wiped it away and continued with school.
—Later—
At the end of the day, I went to the Science classroom where Sarah always was. I heard laughing. A few nice girls from my classes were keeping Sarah company.
"Omg, Bella is so dumb, she doesn't even realize it's you, what a moron!" A girl giggles. I frown. I stop walking towards the entrance and pull out my phone. I start to videotape. "Ugh, she is so lame, I wonder why I even became friends with her," Sarah says. Another tear slips out of my eye.
She betrayed me.
They said some more crap about me, and after my video was 5:00 minutes long, I left. Later on, as I was doing my homework, my phone chimed.
It was Sarah. She's so evil. I put away my stuff and went to bed.
—The Next Day—
Sarah met me at my locker. Before she could speak, I showed her the video. She was speechless. "I-I can explain—" I cut her off. "Later, Hater," I say, walking away.
