Why I Did It (Lauren/You)

Reason Number Eight: The School Hates Me

You out of all people should know how it feels for a great number of people to hate you. I could've worded that better but I'm writing in pen and I'm not ripping out another piece of paper. But you know how it feels when multiple people come at you at once. You go through this every day and yet you seem to be perfectly fine.

Maybe it's because you're used to it. But I can't seem to get used to it at all. We've talked about this. I didn't tell you about all that was happening but you gave me some nice advice that I couldn't use.

Ignore the hate? That's impossible it doesn't work. Act like it doesn't bother you? Yeah, that might show people that you don't care but they won't get tired of it, it'll just become a routine. I thought I could do that, I thought I could be you. Just until the end of the year.

But I'm not you. I wish I was, you seem so happy, I want to be happy, I want to smile, I want friends, I want hugs. I want everything you got. Your parents are together, you have 3 best friends who are like sisters to you. I have nothing.

I wish I didn't have to write this. I feel so useless. But I don't want to bore you. So I tell you what happened.

2 days after I decided to speak up which was one of your tips the school turned on me.

"Yes dad I'll call you if I feel any different" he smiles at me "ok honey, I'll see you later I love you"

"I love you too" I closed the car door and walked away. Walking into the school instantly noticed that everyone had their eyes on me. I kept my eyes on the the the floor quickly trying to get to my locker. "Hey y/n you're looking very nice today...I'm a big fan of the hair" I looked up to see Hayley and Jacob leaning against my locker.

"Thank you?"

"It really suits you" she touched my hair. I moved away from her. "And you put on some weight, I guess that suits you too"

I've been trying to lose weight.

Hayley laughs hitting her boyfriend's shoulder "babe that not something you say to a girl"

"What do you guys want?" I asked "what Nothing? We just wanted to talk to our best friend" Hayley says. I looked around to see that everyone was looking at us. I shook my head.

"Just leave me alone ok whatever you guys are about to do it's not worth it" I walked past the two. And into my class. As soon I sat down the announcements came on.

"All seniors please come down to the gym!" I stood right back up. Grabbing my bag. I walked and into the gym.

Everyone was piling in. Once everyone sat down the principal started talking. "Good morning South Wood High it's a pleasure to see you all this morning. I called this meeting because I think that we should go over something that all of you went over in elementary school. And that's bullying"

I let out a sigh. Great just great.

"I'm getting a lot of complaints from different people all because of bullying. This school is supposed to safe and free zone, I want all of my students to be happy and to feel comfortable. And we can't have that if you all are being ignorant. I shouldn't be here right now discussing this, it's honestly so sad."  She pauses "so since you guys cannot behave and treat people with respect I'm canceling prom for the seniors" everyone gasp.

I covered my face with my hand.

"You can't do that!"

"I already bought my dress!"

"I worked so hard on this prom!"

"SILENCE!" Everyone went silent. "I  am so sorry that you won't be able to enjoy your last year at the dance but you left me no choice. Please get back to class now"

I quickly stood up. Everyone eyes lands on me. "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" I heard Hayley yell.

"What about the plan?!"

"FUCK THE PLAN! I WORKED EXTREMELY HARD ON THIS PROM, AND YOUR MOM TELLING US THAT WE CANT GO BECAUSE OF THIS BITCH!" I frown I quickly got off the bleachers.

"I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS BITCH...I HATE YOU"

"This isn't my fault!...she said multiple kids came up to her. And you guys think of me first! That shows that you guys are in the wrong! THIS IS ALL OF YALL FAULTS DONT BLAME ME I just wanted all of this to stop!" I spoke everyone looked at Hayley she walks off the bleachers and towards me.

I backed away. "I will ruin you!"

"HEY LEAVE HER ALONE!" We both looked to see Jeremy. The boy I talked to the other day. He jogs off the bleachers walking over to us. "This isn't her fault" he steps in front of me. "And this how you earn prom back. The way you're acting is the reason prom is taken from us! Stop being a bitch to her!"

"DON'T YOU TALK TO HER LIKE THAT!"

Oh fuck.

Jacob walks over to us. "I WOULDN'T HAVE TO TALK TO HER LIKE THAT IF YOUR GIRL WASN'T OVERREACTING" Jacob steps up to Jeremy. They were both in each other's face.

"You think that just because you're all big and tough that I won't beat your ass"

Jeremy was a bit bigger than Jacob, well a lot bigger. He was more on the buff side.

"You wouldn't have a chance" everyone gathered around. "Jeremy this is your first week let's not do this!"

I spoke. "How about you shut up you said enough!" Jacob glared at me "Don't you talk to her like that!"

"Or what you're going to do, hit me-" as soon as Jacob finished his sentence Jeremy's fist collided into Jacobs' face. I let out a scream back away as the two boys started to fight.

"Jeremy No! Stop it please!"

I know for sure that Jeremy going to get suspended, not Jacob, of course, that's the principals' son.

"YOU SEE THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT" Hayley shoved me. "Look I don't want to fight!"

"HEY! I SAID GET TO CLASS...YOU TWO STOP IT RIGHT NOW!" The principal yells running back to everyone quickly left the room. The guards quickly pulled the two boys off each other.

"You two ladies go to class NOW!" I glanced at Hayley who glared at the principal. I looked over at Jeremy who had blood in his mouth.

"I'm ok go" I frown before walking out the gym. I was going to walk out the school when I felt someone grab my shoulder.

"You missed many days in school y/n and failing my class I think you should get in there before I write you up" I rolled my eyes before following the teacher into her classroom.....
