Behind the mask ||Book One||

Chapter Eleven

I woke up feeling like crap today, with my whole body sore, waking up was more than enough punishment for me.

I drag my half dead body to the bathroom and wash my face which was as horrible as I imagined, eye bags and purplish bruises coloured it.

I decide to leave my hair all messed up and in the same bun as last night. I was in no mood for anything today, I just wanted school to be over.

Dressed in a baggy hood and skinny jeans I grab my bag and head for school.

Ever since the bus ride episode, walking to school has been a real stress reliever but it had just one disadvantage.

I pick up my pace as the school gets closer when the bus stops next to me and almost immediately, kids on it start throwing junk piles at me.

My whole outfit is smeared with yoghurt, popcorn and even cake in a few seconds and the bus drives away as the kids on it laugh and sing.

Yes, they never stopped, I think I made it worst cause now I always go to school with my clothes messed up but being bullied has it perks, You always get used to it, so reaching into my bag I bring out a fresh hoodie and baggy pants and walk into the nearest alley to change my clothes pushing the stained ones in another compartment of my bag.

I stand in front of my school when I get there and ask myself "When will I get out of here?".

Chuckling a girl stands next to me and whispers,"Not anytime soon."

I turn to face her and see a beautiful but unfamiliar face as she stresses her hand out for a shake.

"Lucy mila." she introduces when I take her hand.

"Stella, Stella brian."  I say to her and she smiles, she actually smiled at me.

"Are you new...." I start.

"I'm new here." She butts in.

And simultaneously we laugh together.

"Would you like to show me around?" She asks enthusiastically.
And then it dawns on me my status as a social outcast and what hanging out with her could do to her.

Of course having an actual friend would be nice but I couldn't be that self centered to spoil her chances of making other friends so I step away and walk out on her.

"Wait." she screams while running after me and she eventually catches up to me and pulls me back with my hand.

"I know you're bullied, and I know how you feel I've been there too."

"How do you know?", I ask surprised.

"The bruises, the hood, the fact that you have no friends anddd I was once bullied too." She replies.

"Now can we please." She butts in.

When I don't reply, she takes my hand and together we walk into the school and I take her to the administration office to get her timetable and locker number.

She follows me to my locker before heading towards hers promising to meet me at the cafeteria.

Classes breeze past and I'm only occupied by the fact that I Stella Brian has a new friend.

Little did I know what faith had in store for me.

And here's a Bella POV cause someone asked for it once.;)

Bella's POV
  She made a fool out of me, my very own brattish sister and more so with the hottest guy in school.
I just couldn't let her get away with it, she had to pay.

After Stella came home last night I made a plan and it was time to put it into action.

Standing at the centre of the cafeteria I watch Stella walk in heads down with an unfamiliar girl walking bubbly beside her.

Double the fun I thought to myself as they walked towards the farthest end without noticing my presence.

I take my seat next to Blake and wait until the cafeteria fills up and when it does I nudge Blake and immediately he takes my hand and together with our trays of food, we walk towards my twin with a couple of jocks behind us. Reaching her we circle her table and I see her whimper like the coward she is.

"Pay back bitch,"I whisper for only her to ears before dumping my tray of yucky stuff All over her, Blake follows after, and soon enough tears roll down her cheeks as I snicker.

Her new friend watches us maliciously and Blake just laughs at her expression.

More people line up with their trays to dump food on Stella too and just as another jock is about to take his turn, her new friend stands up and jerks the tray off his hand slashing it all over my new outfit and smirks.

She steps on the table and looks at all of us.

"I am Lily Miller, the daughter to the founder and owner of this school and the next time this happens, surely you will hear from my father." she says calmly, a little too calm.

Facing me she continues "You of all people should be ashamed of yourself."

Blake nudges me to say something back and when I look around I see people looking at me all expecting me to do something, play the role of their queen bee and so I do it.

Taking a confident step forward I drag Lucy down and slap her hard, jerking her head I whisper,"Never tell me what or what not to do, do we understand?"

She jerks away and slaps me back even more harder than I did and I fall to the ground as she takes the hand of my dumbfounded sister spits on me and walks away.

The whole cafeteria mocks me as people walk back to their sits and no one offers to help me off the ground.

No one except Blake who stood beside me, takes my hand and leads me out the school where I burst to tears.

"I never thought I would see you cry," he whispers looking down.

And all I can do is scream at him about how my sister had to pay.

"Life isn't all about revenge Bella." I hear him say as he turns and walks away.

Second update, one more to go.
