Maly fern she's innocently naive to the world around her but when you look beyond the small frail girl you see the darkness that surrounds her and the bruises she keeps at bay so no one can pick up on her sad story.

As I walked through the double doors of the school my heart sank when I saw that everyone was looking at me, I didn't understand what was happening why was everyone staring I hoped that they were not looking at me and were in fact looking at something behind me but when I turned around no one was there that's when the panic started I have never had that much attention before. It sent shivers down my spine knowing if I stood here anymore, I was going to go into a panic attack so I walked into the closest girl's bathroom to see what everyone was looking at.
it wasn't until I caught my reflection in the bathroom mirror that I instantly regretted coming in this morning I was so concentrated on the burn on my arm and the other injuries that I forgot to cover the ones on my face how could I be so careless I could see two black eyes staring at me wow this was not my day at all and this is solid proof of it bad thing was I didn't bring any concealer or makeup to school with me so it wasn't like I could conceal it and act as if it never happened.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked at myself only just realizing what I actually looked like I pulled my hair from the back of my head forward so it covered my face a bit more making sure that no one would be able to notice the two big black bruises covering my eyes and made my way out the bathroom and to my lesson.
hopefully no one would care enough to ask cause it's one thing saying you walked into a table about a bruise on your hip but it's another about two on your face but it's not like I had much choice I was thinking about skipping the rest of the day and just go to the pharmacy and buy some ointment for the bruise.
Luckily, I sat at the back of the class so no one could look or stare at me without being caught I was relieved at that fact but I had totally forgotten when a presence I have come to appreciate appeared next to me I instinctively hunched myself over so my hair would fall in from of my face and away from his peering gaze I pulled my sleeves down to hide anything that could be considered a bruise and hid my face away from his line of sight the class started which was almost like a god send as I was able to concentrate on the work and ignore lion for the rest of less.
But he wasn't giving up almost like he was trying to read me it wasn't until he leaned into his hands hoping to get around the barrier of my hair which I hope was covering the bruises well enough that he couldn't notice them when I finished writing the bell went and I rushed out of the school that was the fastest I have ever exited this school normally it's my escape away from home knowing that Mr. Calvin was back at home made me nervous but I refused to go home instead I decided I would just go the pharmacy and go and sit at the park until school would finish and then go home, I was so close to avoiding everyone however luck was not on my side as I was on my way home, I heard the slam of breaks when I looked back it was him what was he doing? As he pulled up next to me did, he think I would just accept to go with him, no I kept my head down.
