Annabelle...

Leaving the lunchroom, I threw away my garbage and went out to the hallway. I audibly sighed as I saw the papers still scattering every inch of the floor. I continued on walking to the bathroom and used my feet to push away the posters, trying my best to ignore them.

I was caught off guard as I was suddenly pulled into a closet. The same closet Niall had slapped me in. My heart started to race. I didn't have the energy to run from Niall.

When the light flicked on, I was slightly relieved when I didn't look into Niall's eyes. I still had a very negative feeling in my stomach that this was not bound to go well.

"Hello, Annabitch. Nice to see you."

It was a guy from my grade who I wasn't too familiar with. I think his name was Cameron. "What do you want? Please, just leave me alone." My voice shook.

"No can do, Skankhill. Those flyers just make things too tempting. I get to have a turn, right?" My eyes widened. Is this what it was gonna be like till graduation? The three head athletes had their go, and now everyone else thinks they're entitled to one? "Besides, it doesn't seem like you mind."

I just started to cry while I stood there pathetically. He was much larger than me, and he was blocking the door. I knew trying to run would be useless.

Before I knew it, he had knocked me to the ground with one swing at my jaw. I held my cheek in my hands as he kicked me in the side. I choked in my breaths as the wind was knocked out of me.  "Just need to make sure you won't run on me, bitch." He laughed as he continued to assault me.

"Please stop. You don't understand." He was hurting me worse by kicking on the fresh bruises I got last night. He didn't understand that I already wasn't going to run. I was simply too tired.

Before I could even blink, horrible pain spread through my lower region. Why does this keep happening to me? When he finished, he just got dressed and left me there. What a sick bastard.

I gasped for a few second as the pain left me breathless. Rolling onto my stomach, I struggled up to my feet. I had to use the mop and broom to help hoist myself up. It took me ten painful minutes to get my clothes back on.

When I opened up the closet door, I bumped into someone, causing me to collapse back on the ground. Great. After all that hard work.

"Oh my gosh, Annabelle!" I heard someone shout. I looked up from my hands and knees to see Melanie gaping at me. "What the hell happened?!" She screeched as she lifted me up to my feet.

"Cam-Cameron." I gasped out.

"Oh my goodness, what did he do? There's blood on your pants!" She gasped. "Please don't tell me he-"

"Yeah, he did." I squeaked in a pained voice.

"What the fuck?! Is this gonna be a thing now? All the leaders of the idiotic male clan did it, so everyone else has a free pass?!" She yelled angrily, saying my previous thoughts out loud.

"I-I need to leave. I need to get out of here. I don't want to be here." I stammered.

Her eyes instantly softened. "I'm so sorry, Annabelle. Where do you want to go? I'll take you to my house. You can stay there and I'll-"

"No, it's okay. I'm gonna walk off the pain and go to our spot. I just need to be there right now."

"Are you sure you wanna walk? I can drive you?"
