Me coming to school each day was a living hell. I had to face Grayson each day and the laughter from the person I liked. Over the course of a few days, Grayson and Ava had became the best of friends. Which was incredible.

I was in route to my locker, clutching my book close to me and my head hanging low. Getting close to my locker I began to realize there was a crowd surrounding it. I didn't have a clue exactly who's locker but it didn't really concern me — unless I were to be the one being targeting.

I stood in back of the crowd and was able to catch a glimpse of the locker. My instantly heart dropped and quickened. I slowly felt the world around me get smaller and smaller, I was suffocating. I was quick to put a name on what was happening to me, I was on the verge of having an anxiety attack.*

Tears threatened to spill from the corner of my eyes and it took everything in me to prevent it. On my locker in red paint laid the words "f*ggot", along with pictures of me that I had been confident enough to post. Each image had some sort of doodles in red and dark red x's in them.

I looked back to glare at my brother and was surprised to see Grayson smirking. Grayson's eyes flicker from the locker to me, his smirk soon dissolving into a stern look. He walked away with Ava in tow and was soon out of sight in seconds.

I looked back at my locker really taking in that this was for me. I, who had been kind to everyone and has never spoken bad about someone, is now being targeted by my own brother!

There were only two possible answers as to why Grayson had the sudden heart change. Either he had been possessed or he had accepted the dare. Although I didn't want to accept the possibility of Grayson ever accepting the dare and gladly ruining my life. It was becoming clearer and clearer of the chance.

I felt like breaking down, I felt like putting my knees to my chest and letting it all out. I knew for sure that breaking down in front of everyone isn't a good idea. So I decided to leave the school premises. Sure I would get in trouble but anything is better than being here.

I stormed out of the double entrance door, I stood outside not knowing firstly what to do. I thought about spending the day at home but obviously that sounded boring and lonely. So I decided to spend his day with a friend — preferably May.

I pulled out his phone, shooting May a quick text. I slowly made my way to my car, secretly hoping May would walk out those doors and they'd be able to walk together. Soon seconds go by and the only sounds were my heavy feet crunching the dry leaves.
