Just One Girl

We never knew our demons.

Tera's POV

Beep! Beep! Beep!

"Uuug." I slowly rise from my bed. I glanced toward my alarm clock and saw the digital numbers printed on the screen: 6:37.

"Great." I had half and hour to get ready and get to school. I headed toward my closet opening my doors slowly as I tried to find what to wear.

As I looked for something to wear I thought about my first impression. Do I want to go basic or all out? Maybe I want to go both.

I pull out a black lacy dress, "hmmm...to desperate." I said to myself as I put the dress back.

Outfit after outfit I almost looked at my entire wardrobe.

Everything was either to desperate or too basic.

As I continued to look I found an outfit at the back put my closet. I've never seen the outfit before...i decided it would do. I looked in the mirror and saw the reflection of a red sweater and ripped skinny jeans. I grabbed my brown furry boots and hurried down the hall.

I didn't have time to eat so on my way out I grabbed an apple and hurried to my car. I drove off as soon as I found the keys.

~~~~~~~~~~~~At school~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I barley made as the bell rang. The halls raced with new people as I tried to make my way to the student council.

I was about to enter her room when a jock turned me around.

"Hey, new here?"

"um, yeah. Why?" I said as he moved closer.

"did it hurt?" He said.

"ummm, excuses me?" I said not know what he meant.

"when you fell from heaven." He said smiling.

The one thing I hate the most was getting hit on.

"No, but I scraped my knee climbing from hell." I answered trying to get away from him.

He grabbed my wrist and looked my dead in the eye.

"Hey, you think you're funny, huh? Well Mike doesn't like it when people be shitty to him."

"Well Tera doesn't care. So let go of me. Now." I don't know why I said what I said but he made me feel anger. But all that did was make his grip tighten.

"Let go of me!" I screamed. We were now the only ones in the halls.

He now had bot of my wrists gripped to the wall. He started moving close to me.

I wanted to scream but that would only show that I weak. And that would make me the easy target to pick on.

I tried to fight back trying to kick and hit but I couldn't.

"What do you want? I'm already tied to the wall." I eyed his hands.

"I think you know what I want." He moved closer.

I turned my face. I could feel his tension between us.

He was really close now. And I DON'T like being close to someone.

I was about to give up. He had already one. I lost.

I heard a footsteps behind him. He looked back. Then he smiled. Like if the devil just got his way and won the victory.

"Yo Jace, come check this chick out."

A guy with black hair that swooped perfect to the side walked up. He was wearing the same jock jacket and 'Mike'.

He looked at me, he had brown eyes, and looked kind of...scared.

I dunno, I was the one being held to the wall with people staring at me. Oh god, I was like a picture.

"Let her go." 'Jace finally said.

"What? You know what we can do with her?" Mike said to Jace looking confused.

As the argued for a while I got irritated.

"Hey um, ladies, hi just gonna put this out here, I'm still pinned to the wall like some some sort of artwork. So um, it would be nice to you know, feel like a human." I said as they were mid sentence.

Mike leaned closer, "You are a work of art." He smiled.

As he leaned I got an idea.

But I would have to set out of my comfort zone.

"Yeah, I realized, um, can you come closer...I have a little... Secret for you." I smiled.

It was easy honestly, he took the bait like a fish.

He chuckled a little. As he leaned he was close enough.

At that moment I kicked him as hard as I could. I chose the right day to wear my boots. He fell on the ground moaning in pain. I ran in the student council office as fast as I could.
