Highschool Hopefuls

Chapter 2

"She barely eats, she doesn't talk, and she rarely leaves her room."

I sat in an office while my dad and Dr. Reynolds talked about everything that was wrong with me. Like I didn't already know. I watched them talk about me like I wasnt even there.

I'm here you know. And I'm fully capable of speaking for myself

"I believe your daughter has depression Mr. Collins."

"But, how?"

"Well sometimes its stress related. Or it might be because of either mental or physical abuse.

When he said that my dad's eyes turned grey. They were usually a blue-green color. They only turn grey when he's super upset or super serious. The last time they turned grey was when my mother died.

"Mina, is someone hurting you?"

"No" I said quietly

"Mina I can't help you if you don't tell me the truth."

"I'm fine dad"

The doctor looked at us nervously.

"Well as I said it can be stress related also. I'll prescribe you with a depression medication. Take it twice a day and come see me if she gets worse."

"Thank you Doctor." my dad said.

We got up and left.

My dad started driving.

"Why don't we stop by In and Out Burger. I know you love that place."

"I'm not hungry."

"Oh! Why dont we go see that new movie you can't stop talking about."

"I just wanna go home."

"Ok."

I could tell he was hurt. After that we sat in silence the whole way home.

As soon as we got home I ran upstairs to my room. I got my laptop and got on my bed. When I turned it on I saw that I got new notifications on my ValleBud page. ValleBud was like the Facebook of Westvalle high.

XxQueenBiancaxX- Did you see Mina today. I didn't know that her fashion sense could get any worse then, it does.

•°•BritKiss•°•- Maybe that's the reason why she's still a virgin

~BeccaBabe~- Lol. Or maybe its that hideous hair. I wonder who does it. Give me their number so I can sue.

NateTheGreat- What's the matter girls? Are you upset that her hair is real and you're stuck with dollar store extensions?

I laughed for the first time in days.

XxQueenBiancaxX- Oh look its her noble protector. How much does she pay you?

~BeccaBabe~- I heard she works corners to help her poor family

•°•BritKiss•°•- I heard her mom is like a stripper or something. I guess slut runs in the family

No! no no no no no this can't be happening. I started banging on the walls. I tore down my shades and knocked down my lamp. I didn't know how to feel. I felt pissed. I felt scared. I felt sad. But most of all, I felt like it wasn't never gonna change. This was my senior year. We're almost a month into senior year and Bianca's tormenting haven't stalled since the very first day. It's not just her either. Apparently the poison has started to spread to other parts of the student body. If it's not dirty looks in the hallway, it's sly remarks in class. The ValleBud posts are just the latest forms of torture.
