The Story Of My Life

The Nightmare had just settled#5

Three weeks have gone by, since the littler incidents and confrontation with Marianne. I basically just kept to myself and just focused on schoolwork. I made very good friendships with many of my classmates. I havent been having any problems with the girls and that did lift my spirits, I thought to myself
Maybe things will be good from now on... or so i thought. One day in Music class, the instructor asked us to sing or play a song on the piano of our favourite song. Only 3 people at time she said. I was nervous, but dont get me wrong. I love singing in public but i decided to overcome my fear and sing infront of everyone.

When it was time to sing, I got up from my sit and told everyone i was going to sing faded by Alan Walker. As i was singing, I could heard many of my classmates cheering me up, but on the other hand, I could see half of my classmates snickering and gossiping about me. I was hurt but decided to let it roll of my back. After i finished, the class cheered and i got 30 points.

After many students later, my music teacher told us to spend our free time reading music books and doing music sheets, so we did. Half hour later, the teacher went out to make some copies for tonight's homework, when she stepped out the class, Shakia and Brianna threw paper balls and pencils at me. I covered up my face trying to dodge the balls. Other mean girls are tagged along as well. Furthermore, they took my sketchbook with my drawings and threw it outside the window. I tried to stop them but the girls thrusted me as i stuggled to fight them off.

Apparently,one of the boy student passed by and knew what happened. He immediately went to find the teacher and the teacher stopped the girls. They had let me go and I dropped to floor sobbing. I ran out the classroom with Matthew following. I went outside to get my sketchbook, which luckily wasnt damaged. Once i found it, i began to cry and get furious. Matthew found me and soothe me. Once we go back inside, the teacher called me out into the hallway and questioned me of what happened.

Matthew spoke for me since i was still weeping and told the teacher everything. She told us that she contacted that hall security and thr girls will be punished. We went back in class and the girls were standing near the desk as the teacher called security and their parents.The other students comforted me and asked if i was alright.

To be honest, I wasnt because they did alll those terrible things to me. Matthew
calmed me down and offered to help me finish my classwork. He was so sweet and kind, not to mention very handsome. I agreed and we worked together until class was over.

The day ended quickly and Matthew's father was picking him up from school. He offered to fetch me home and i agreed( with his and my mother's approval of course).

Along the way home, he asked if i was feeling better and i was still nub and shaken. He sensed it and help me tightly. Then he said the sweetest thing to me

"Youre beautiful inside and out Ellie. Youre smart,talented,funny and feisty. Dont let people take over you. Dont ever change who you are. Ill always be here for you."

My heart was melting when he said that. I blushed. And all I could say was thank you. We arrived at my house and I was so cheered up. Then i chilled for the rest of the day but never forgetting what happened today.
