He's My Bully

Chapter 3:

**Heyy! Here's chapter 3!**

I hear my alarm go off which is All Time Lows, Time Bomb. I got up and went straight to the shower to wake me up and to get cleaned and all that. Once I was done in there, I went to get changed and dry my hair. I made sure my bracelets were on where they were supposed to be and then put my dad’s dog tag and necklace on and I grabbed my bag and walked downstairs.

After having breakfast and saying goodbye to Ricky, my mum drives me to school. Ricky doesn't get a lift, he meets up with James and Ashton and walks with them because they only live down the street.

Once we got there, I said bye to my mum and got out of the car and walked into school. Already, I was getting comments thrown at me from everyone. Then all of a sudden I harshly came into contact with the lockers next to me, causing me to groan in pain.

"Well, hello there you four eyed slut. I would ask you what did you do over the weekend but we all know you had your head buried in a book. You never leave your fucking house! You're such a loser!" Michael spits in my face.

Soon, the bell rings and I hurry to my class.

Well, this should be a good day...

I'm eating lunch in the back of the lunchroom where no one sits and I was texting Ashton. He's the only person, besides Ricky, that I feel safe and comfortable round. He's really caring and helpful as well. He is the only one knows that I have cut before, but that was only because my bracelets slipped and he saw them. He wasn't too happy with me but he supported me. He tried to get me to tell him why I do it, but I didn't. If I did, he would go to Ricky then Ricky would go to our mum and she would panic.

During last lesson, I got called into the principal’s office and as I was walking out, everyone tried to make smart remarks about me, but I just ended up ignoring them.

"Hi Gemma, I'm sorry to call you in, but I want to ask a favour," the principal, Mr. Evans, said.

"Not a problem, what can I do?" I asked him, a bit unsure to where there was going.

"I was just wondering if you would like to tutor a student in maths. Your grades are top marks and we are very pleased and proud of you. This student really needs the tutoring to get the grades they need to pass this year," he informed me.

"Ummm," I wasn't too sure. I mean, for all I know it could be some weirdo. Yet it could be worse and be someone who bullies me... In the end I agreed to it and he said that he will give the student my address and he will come over around 5 and asked me if that was alright and I just said it was.

School was finally finished for today and I walked outside towards the parking lot. I looked around and saw Michael and his friends talking to someone. I didn't want to get caught, so I kept my head down and carried on walking. But something made me stop.

"Gemma!" A voice called. I recognised it, but got confused because he should be at school or home.

He ran over to me and hugged me, me returning it.

"Ummm, Ashton? Why you hugging that nerd of slut? You may want to step away," I heard a voice that you would never be able to miss and it made me step away. I saw Michael, Luke and Calum standing behind him and they were giving him a weird look.

"Wait, what?" Ashton said, clearly confused, because he had never heard anyone say anything like that.

"I said, you may want to step away. She's a nerd, a slut and just plain weird," Michael said and it made tears come to your eyes.

All of a sudden, I feel like the air has just been taken from me and that was because I had just been punched in the stomach. Then I hear another punch being thrown.

"Come on, Gemma. I'll take you home," Ashton said while putting a hand around my waist and helping me regain my balance because I was still dizzy from the lack of air.

Once we were about 5 minutes away from the school, I realised that my mum might still be in the parking lot.

"Ashton? My mums in the parking lot, I need to get back," I said to him.

"Don't worry, I said to your mum that I was picking you up because I had to come here to speak to Michael," he told me and I nodded understandingly. "Gemma, are they people that caused all these bruises on you? And caused you to cut?" He asked cautiously.

Should I tell him?

"Yeah..."you mumbled, not knowing whether he heard or not, but apparently he did because he let out a sigh. 

"Gem, why did you not say anything? I know he's trouble. If I had known he was the one causing you pain, I would have tried to stop him a long time ago," he said, whilst bringing me into a hug. "You should have told me," he breathed into my neck.

"I wanted to but I didn't want to worry you. Plus, if I had told you, you would have told Ricky who would have told my mum and they would both start panicking, and they don't need this," I told him. 

We stayed quite the rest of the walk home and when we got there, Ashton and I gave each other a hug and he left. As soon as I closed the door, I went up to my room and got changed into a pair of black skinny jeans and a Blink 182 t-shirt and put my Obey beanie hat on. I made sure my bracelets were all on correctly, my Green Day and All Time Low ones kept slipping, so I added my Fall Out Boy one as well, then they were all covered. 

When I was sure I was done, I looked to see I had another 20 minutes till the student comes over, so I decided to get my dad’s letter from yesterday and read it again. 

Soon the doorbell rang and my mum called for me to come downstairs 'cause someone was there for me. Must be the student.

I walked downstairs and looked to see who was standing there.

Today could not get any worse.

It was Michael.

Michael was in my house.
