Chapter 1: Bullying taken too far
Jess P.O.V
Another day of hell, which most people call high school. I finished getting ready for school and went downstairs for breakfast.
“Jess hurry up, we gotta go” my brother Matt shouted from the door
“Alright, I’m coming” I shouted back, I grabbed my bag and went to the car, and kissing my mom and dad goodbye.
My name is Jess I’m sixteen years old, and a sophomore in school, I’ve got a twin brother, called Matt and a younger brother called Jake, who’s five. I’m a loner in school, because Liam and his friends make sure no-one talks to me, Liam is your all time jock.
Matt was driving to school, whilst I was sitting in the passenger seat, thinking about the letter I received from italliana high, high school in Italy, stating that I had been offered a place in the school as an exchange student, thinking whether or not I should accept.
“Jess, if anyone gives you any trouble come to me alright?” Matt said looking at me worriedly. “ Ok, thanks Matt” I replied shooting him a nervous smile.
Once we got to school, I skipped out of the car, only to be stopped by the seniors, juniors and the sophomores that were on the football team who all started making horrible comments, which I ignored and made my way to my locker, just then Liam came up to me with one of his sluts of the week, and gave me a glare before the slut started to speak.
“Listen freak, after Christmas break I want you to start doing all of our homework, whether you like it or not” one of his sluts spoke, I think her name was Tara “ yeah” Liam replied
“Liam, can I talk to you alone for a moment please” I asked
He nodded and went into an empty classroom
“What do you want?” he asked
“Well why do you hate me, we used to be best friends and now you act like we don’t even know each other” I told him, “well that’s true I do hate you, I was only friends with you because I was your brothers friend, but it didn’t matter when we got to high school” he replied
“Fuck you Liam, you’re a dick” I replied slapping him on his cheek.
I walked out of class and walked out of the school doors, texting matt I wasn’t feeling well so I was going home.
Once I went home, I rang Italiana high, and accepted the offer, in which I start next week, so once I finished speaking to the principal about my living arrangements, I went to the mall and brought some Capri’s, jeans, skirts, dresses, heals, flats, jackets, cardigans, make up and more things.
I went back home and packed my bags, and two suitcases, then made a snack and waited for Matt and my parents to come home, so I could tell them. At 3.30pm Matt came home, and came into my room, once he saw the bags, he looked at me with a confused face. “Where are you going?” he asked.
“Well I’ll explain when mom and dad get home” I replied looking up from my laptop. “Okay” he said before leaving to go to his room. A couple of hour’s later mom came home with Jake, and then my dad came.
“Jess, Matt come downstairs for dinner” my mom shouted out from the bottom of the stairs. I made my way downstairs, and sat at the table waiting for them all to sit down. “Mom, dad remember the offer I received to go to Italy as an exchange student at Italiana high in Rome, well I accepted the offer and I have to leave tomorrow afternoon” I said whilst looking at them.
“But baby why would you want to go?” mom asked, “Mom I want a new chance to start over and make friends, I have no friends here” I replied. “Okay baby, we’ll drop you off at the airport” dad replied. “Ok, you don’t need to ring the school, because I already did it, and Matt I don’t want you to tell anyone please” I said looking at my brother. “Don’t worry Jess I won’t” he replied smiling.
