She stands up from the table and givesme her hand like she's royalty. Does she really shake peoples hands like this?

Uncomfortable I go to shake her hand. "No" Linda says. I look to her giving a questionable look. "It's the handshake"

It processes ".... What?" I ask

"Come on its easy"

"Um...." I question

"Like this" Kelly says as she does a serious of snaps and claps.

I remember what my dad said. "Try to make a friend, will ya?"

"Okay" I say

I attempt to do my best but fumble.

Gray laughs "Good" she sits back down.

"Now, be a good little bitch and go grab an apron." She does a shooing hand gesture

I take a step back "excuse me?"

She pulls her lips back almost into a snarling smile. She obviously wasn't questioned often. She opens her eyes wide as if shocked. "Oh my bad, did I say a bad word?" 

My eyebrow raises.

"Are you going to go tell the teacher?" She prompts.

My cheeks heat but I try to cool down."no" I frown. " i just was surprised, since I'm not good  friend with you yet" I force a smile.

She looks at me and laughs. The rest of the group joins in. I glance around the room. I felt uneasy and looked for the teacher. But he was gone. I glance back to the girls. Their giggling dying down. I nervously pick at a stray thread from my shirt.

"What!" I ask. Gray wipes a non existent tear from her eye.  She looks at me with a grin. "Nothing I just find it funny how hard your trying"

"What are you talking about?" I question her

She smiles "I don't know, you come in here trying to be one of us. You look so perky and happy. And it's honestly so weird... I mean you did that stupid handshake" the girls start laughing.

I feel myself get ready to tear up. I clench my fist. Push it done. "I'm not trying to be one of you" I correct.

She smiles and brushed her hair behind her. "Oh really?" She challenges.

I laugh. This quiets the girls up a little. I look down at Gray. "You thought I wanted to be one of you?" I look around me.
Some eyes watch.

All the girls give a questionable face.

"You all are just variations of the same girl. " I say loudly trying to get more attention.

"Look here you have the stuck up bitch" I point to Linda. "The whiny bitch who never shuts up"
My hand moves to Courtney. "The wanna be stripper" I point to Megan.

In the background classmates hoot and laugh in my support.
I continue a little stronger.
"You have the attention seeker." Ramona. "The insecure girl who cakes her face so much she looks like a fricken Doritos chip." Kelly.

I smile sickly sweet smile. "And last but least the bitch who is all of the above" my eyes hit Grey. 

I fix the shoulder strap on my backpack. And look over again. I hold myself high. "So thank for the invite ... but I'm not interested. Because unlike all of you. I have a mind of my own." 

I look at the girls. Some looked angry, others heartbroken. I shrugged it off and took my leave.

I hear Gray stands up dramatically. She stomps around the table. "Excuse me?" She screeches. I smile and turn around again. My eyes widen innocently. "Oh I'm sorry. Did I offend you?"
Her cheeks puff up and her face turns a darker shade of pink.

"Oh are you going to go tell the teachers now?" I quote her from earlier. Her breathing is heavy. I wonder if she's going to explode.
I turn 90 degrees when she yells.

"Hey" i look to the beauty queen. "Yes" I say with a daunting smile. "Listen here new kid, i-" I cut her off.

"Actually my names Corrie" I say with power. Her nose scrunches. "Isn't that a boy name?" She says loudly trying to put up a bit of a fight.

I amplify her tone and voice "Isn't Gray a colour?" Her eyes widen. Classmate laugh and cheer. I beat the bitch at her own game. She looked she had more to say but I walked off for good this time.

I found an unused table on the other side of the room. I plug in some headphones and try to unwind with some music. Periodically I see some of the girls leave and come back into the room. I doodled on the table. So much for this class being fun.

Suddenly a rush of cold water falls over me. I jolted up and stood. Water dripped all over me. "What the fuck!" I yelled I turned and saw Gray and her bitch possy laughing. I turn to look in front of me. And I see two jocks holding a bucket. One with sandy blonde hair and the other one had brown hair. I look for the teacher. Still no where to be seen.

The class howled with laughter. Gray smiles. I stormed over to Gray. "What the fuck is this?" I yell. "What?" She questions pretending to be innocent. "Don't what me" I yell. Gray's smile stays plastered on her ugly face.

"Hey new girl!" Some one calls. I turn on my heel. "What?" I yell. Then a load of flour is thrown onto me. I wipe my eyes. The same two jocks stand in front of me. They turn away from me. Kids take pictures.

I feel a deep rage bubble from in my stomach.
The boys laugh. "Nice" gray yells. "What a stupid bitch?" The sandy haired boy laughs.

I don't know what happened but next thing you know I running at the brown haired jock. I hear gray scream. I jump on his. He give a oomph. He grab the table for support.

I wrap my arm around his neck from behind and punch him repetitively in the face. "Stupid bitch!" I scream as I pull his hair. I hear the crowd gasp behind me. But it just turns into background noise.

The other jock manages tries to pull me off. I pull out chucks of the brunettes hair. But he manages to get me off. I kick the sandy haired kid hard in the back of the knee. He goes down. I turn around to meet the dark jocks fist to my cheek. I taste blood.

Rage burns through me. My fist hits his eye and then I'm held from behind. My hands and arms are pinned. Adrenaline pumps through my veins. I jerk my body trying to move. The dark haired kids fist makes contact with my stomach. I yell then gasp for air.

Courtney runs over and pulls at the brown haired kids arm. "Carter stop" she yells. He pushes her to the floor. And winds up and punches me again in the stomach. My eyes water. But I bite my lip recusing to cry. Courtney stands again. "Mason make him stop, enough you guys" She yells.

One more hit to my stomach. I push all my strength into a jerk. I manage to get out of his reach. I kick Carter in the nuts. A bitch move I know but I'm running out of options. He's down.

I turn and see Mason. I run at him, I got to punch him in the face but I miss and hit his neck instead. He gets me in the jaw. I go to punch again but he's faster than me. He punches me in the eye. I watch in slow motion as I fall back. I see myself hit the floor.

My heart is pumping a million miles a minute. Nothing makes sense. I blink slowly not wanting to pass out. I fight my body to stay awake. "Stupid fucking cunt!" I hear.

I get a powerhouse kick to me hip. I scream. Another kick to my stomach. I get into the fetal position. I breathe heavily. I'm going to throw up. I wince in pain

"Hey!" I hear a scream. The boys stop and look. The teacher runs into the room with two student. My eyes finally close.
