The demons inside

New story!! Hope you like :)

_________________________________

I open my eyes, and I see a poster of my favourite boyband on the ceiling right above me. I smile back to the frozen face of Josh Ramsey and pretend to flutter my eyes. I roll my eyes at myself and get up to get ready for the personal prison that every teenager has to go through, a.k.a., High School.

It wasn't so fun for me though. Not because of the teachers that try to act as if they know something, when most of them dropped out of High School in grade ten or failed to get a College Diploma, but because of the people who like to, let's say, walk me to and from school. Everyday. And no, I'm not talking about an annoying friend, or a wallflower that you don't want to be caught with because it could ruin your social status, even though option number two is virtually impossible for me because I am the wallflower. But the people are, well, my bullies.

I try to escape them by outrunning them, but they always catch me because of my non athletic body. And then they beat me up. That's why, today, I'm going to try to outsmart them. I grab my bag and lunch money and sneak out the front door. I make sure to close the door myself so the bang of the wood won't alarm them.

I peek over the hedge and see all three of them waiting near the front of my house. Now, if I can just get around the block on the other side, I'm home free. Well, at least for the first part. I silently climb over the hedge and land lightly and soundlessly. Then I'm off. My quick feet carry me to the opposite end of the street, away from the trio of hell. They don't notice me, thankfully, as I look back at the impatient hell hounds, still awaiting my presence.

If I can just get across the street without them on my heels, I'll be fine until this afternoon on the trek home. I keep my eyes glued to my personal hell bringers and make my way across fast, but not fast enough for them to turn and look at me. I was three quarters across the street! I know I'll be fine, they won't get me today. There was a very loud -and alarming- noise coming from behind me. I turned around to see my neighbour in her car, waiting impatiently for me to cross the road. I turn around just in time to see my bullies smirking at me. Oh. Shit.

And I'm off!! I don't know when I started running, but all I do know is that I'm two blocks away from my house and that the bullies aren't far behind me. I pump my legs faster and faster. I pass two more blocks. Five blocks until the school is visible. They gain on me and my heart pumps. Four blocks. I can hear their footsteps and my ragged breathing now. Three blocks. They're so close now that I can hear their breathing.

Two. I can see the flag pole now, waving the red and white Canadian flag. And then, my legs give out. I fall onto my knees and my bullies almost trip over me in mid sprint. They surround me and I know that they're going to hurt me more. I see a pair of feet come closer to my head and two more at my sides. I'm still panting like a dog that's gone without water for days.

"Well, Leah, I have to admit that today is your official record of outrunning us. Two blocks more and you would have been home free. But, I guess you're just too fat to outrun us muscular and fast jocks." Julian, the ring leader, says to me. I know what's about to come and there's no one around to stop it. But, I guess that it's just the way of life. I close my eyes and wait for the first blow to my face to come, but it never does. I open my eyes and look up a bit, expecting to see a pair of knees, but instead, Julian's face. He smiles tauntingly at me.

"We'll, since this is probably your first day of almost outrunning us, I guess I'll give you a taste of something that, well, you'll never have. Ever. From anyone." Julian suddenly grabs my face and brings it close to his. I looked into his eyes and saw something I never thought I would see in his eyes. Lust? But it quickly disappeared and he kissed me for at least five seconds. I had my eyes open for it all, considering I've never been kissed before and I wasn't expecting him, out of all people, to do that. He suddenly broke the kiss and thrust my head away from his.

Then, they beat me up.
