Ariana's P.O.V
After spending about twenty minutes with a few girls, I managed to break free and send them off to Jennette . I glanced once at a girl who looked about nine years old. She had beautifuk chocolate skin with long black hair that went in all sorts of twists and curls. She sat alone in the corner of the room. I dusted myself off before I made my way towards her. I quietly took a seat next to her. I was a little cautious as I knew she could be an Arianator. However, I placed a smile on my face and offered her a small "hi"
We talked for about five minutes until I was able to get her to join the group . She was so funny! I instantly liked her for that. Although she lived in this center, she still was able to crack jokes and enjoy life. As I made my way towards Jennette's group, I heard loud thud. Large amounts of laughter eroded. I turned around quickly causing my ponytail to do the same to see Piper, face first on the ground. I saw the hidden feeling of hurt on her face as she got up and ran . My heart sank . I felt her pain. I gave Jennette a quick look as to signal for her to take over as I ran after Piper.
After I maneuvered myself through the large building, I found Piper laying face down on her bed. The violent sobs that escaped her body broke my heart into tiny pieces. I felt her pain in a way . Being the center of attention was a normal thing for me. However, when you know it's bad attention, and that people are laughing at you, it hurts. I shifted uncomfortably as I gently placed a hand on her arm.
"Sweetie, it's me , Ariana. Now, come with me" . I held back my smile at how much I sounded like a mother. I shifted my focus on to Piper as she reluctantly sat up. She followed me as I guided her to the nearby bathroom I found as I located this room. That's when I saw the bloody mess she had on her knee. Ew, blood , I thought as I lifted her on to the counter. My face filled with shock as I felt how light she was. How old was Piper? I shook my questions out of my head and sucked up my disgust for the blood. I found a first-aid kit under the sink, and got to work .
After I was done bandaging Piper's leg, which, I must say I did a kick ass job at, I continued to wonder about Piper. I mean, one glance at her face, and I saw she was sad. But what could she possibly be sad about? She was a pretty little- or big girl. She had long hazelnut brown hair that fell to her armpits. Her big brown eyes that kinda reminded me of my own eyes ,were to die for. Don't even get mr. started on her button nose! Okay, I am officially a creep.
"I know I'm ugly, but staring is impolite" , Piper said. I blushed a little, embarrassed that I was staring at her before a perplexed look conquered my face.
"Piper , you're not ugly "
I saw her face turn a tint of red and a pang of guilt flash in her eyes. I wiped away a fresh tear that made its way down her cheek. How could a girl so pretty , not see the beauty in herself? I took a deep breath as I saw through Piper's mask. Something was up.
" I'm sorry you fell. I feel like it's my fault since I tried to get you out of your comfort zone." , I said quickly in order to break the silence. Paper avoided any means of eye contact with me. She seemed so shy.
" It's not your fault. It was Violet that tripped me. Those sort of things always happen so I am use to them"
"Don't you ever tell on her?". Rage filled my body as I felt my entire body tense up. I was never a fan of bullying, though I'm sure no one is. I remembered being a little girl and being teased by a few of my peers. I was constantly called, Boobiana Grande because of my poor undeveloped body. It might have seemed like small inside joke to my classmate but, it really hurt sometimes. If it hurt me to be made fun of at a small thing such as my boobs, no pun intended, then it must be slowly killing Piper.
"No need to. Ms. Rosalina sees her" she whispered. A frown stuck to my face before I could stop it. I quickly gave Piper a half-smile before she continued.
" It's okay, it is a lot worse at school so I'm grateful. You should probably get back" . Paper quietly hopped off the sink counter and made her way back to her small bedroom.
"Your not coming back?"
"Nope. I'm kinda tired and I just wanna be by myself now" she replied without looking up from the floor.
I understood her. Sometimes, I just wanted to be alone and stay in my bed all day with my adorable dog too. Before I left, I requested a hug from Piper. I wrapped my arms around her svelte body form about 20 seconds. To be honest, I didn't want to let go. I'm sure she didn't either considering I saw a small tear fall from her eye. She gave me a small smile before I reluctantly left.

I spent about an hour more at the center before making up a lame excuse about my head hurting and leaving . Why? Because, all I could think about was Piper. She was being bullied and no one gave a shit! I still remembered what she said in the bathroom when we were having our little talk .
" It's okay, it is a lot worse at school so I'm grateful..."
What does that even mean? Okay, I know what it means . Piper is in a sticky situation with absolutely no one to help her. I know I sound like a creep leaving just because of Piper and all, but I really did have a legit reason to leave. Let me start from the beginning.
I had just returned from Piper, and return to the large group of girls. One girl in particular caught my eye. Violet. How dare a girl like Violet , trip Piper and laugh in her face? Violet was sitting in the middle of a circle with a bunch of girls surrounding her . I quietly eavesdrop as I made my way towards Jennette.
" No but seriously guys, did you see her face?"
" No, I didn't want to turn into stone!"
Now, I was angry. If this was what she dealt with in the center, I could not even imagine what she had to do was in school. It was at that moment, that I faked my headache and was able to be driven home! Thank God.
