Yep, the pic at the top, that's me. My short nappy hair, 5'7 body, my dull blue eyes, my nerdy glasses, my baggy and ugly clothes, and my grades higher than my brother's ego.

I'm Jazmine White and this is my story.

"Ring! Ring! Ring!"

I groan as I hear my alarm clock go off.
I pushed the off button and sat up so I am sitting at the edge of my bed.

I rub my eyes and put on my glasses, not being able to see without them. I look at the clock and notice I have an hour to get ready. I quietly walked to the bathroom knowing my brother would make my life more hell at school if I woke him up. Some of you may ask, "what about your parents?" Well, they are always working, leaving at 4:30AM and returning at 11 or 12 at night. So, since they have so much work to do, I have decided to leave them to focus on work instead of bothering them about me. I enter the bathroom and turn on the shower, washing my body and my hair. Once clean I get out and dry myself off. I glance at the big mirror in front of me and frowned at my sickly pale skin, short cut hair, and skinny body. I brush my teeth and comb my hair before wrapping my towel around my body and walk to my room. As I shut and lock the door, I hear Jason's footsteps on the other side, and the sound of the bathroom door closing. I sigh as I pick out my usual style.

Slipping everything on, I finish it off with my signature suspenders. Nerdy, I know.

I go downstairs and grab a granola bar, which is enough to hold me until lunch. I finish that and grab my car keys and head out the door. I don't drive to school, My parents tell me to walk to school, that it is good exercise for me. They got Jason a convertible when he turned 16 and he refuses to take me to school, saying it would be embarrassing to take me to school with him and that he didn't want to ruin his reputation.

I enter the school and hear the rude names "ugly", "skank", "bitch" and my personal favorite, "nerd". I'm walking to my locker only to be slammed into the lockers by Maria. She laughed as I dropped all of my things and fell to the floor. She started this bullying, it all started with a rumor that I tried kissing her boyfriend Ace a year ago and ever since she's made it her personal goal to torment me. I get up and dust off my skirt as if nothing happened and opened my locker to get my calculus book and social studies book. I close my locker and round the corner to my class when Ace, my brother, and two other jocks that bully me see me and began walking towards me. Maria appears behind me as I turned to run, she push me to the ground and stared down at me as if I didn't deserve to even look in her direction. She started kicking and punching me, hitting my ribs and stomach over and over again. I didn't cry, I was already used to it, I tried blocking as much as possible but I groaned in pain when she kicked me in the jaw. What hurts is every time she does this, I always have to look up to see Jason, my own brother, laughing his butt off with Ace as if I'm a joke. After Maria finished, she turned and walked off, with the rest of the crew following her. I was shaking uncontrollably but managed to get up, fix my clothes and hair, and walked to my class. I didn't bother going to the nurse half the time because all they did was send me home and I didn't feel like walking all the way home.
