Drifted

Chapter One

Carter's P.O.V.

Kalah and I walked up to the hell hole, school. Usually either Myles or Ryan tagged along and we'd just laugh all the way to school, but today was different. Kalah had been quiet the whole way, I could tell something was up.

"What's the matter? You're usually talking nonstop. What's wrong?" I asked, and stopped walking.

"Nothing, nothing's wrong, just drop it okay." She said without looking up from staring at the sidewalk.

"Are you sure? Because, Kalah you know I'm always going to be here for you. No matter what." I say trying to get her to look up at me.

"IM SURE!! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! OKAY I JUST NEED TO BE LEFT ALONE FOR ONCE!" She screamed at me. She rarely ever raised her voice, let alone full out screamed.

"Okay, I'm sorry I asked. I, I'll leave you alone." I say stepping back and giving her space.

By this time we were in the school and as I pushed open the door I heard someone yell out, 'look out she'll squish you! Move out of the fat asses way!!' It happens to me all the time. I've been bullied since 3rd grade, it doesn't bother me anymore, I just brush it off and keep walking.

"Why do you let them do that to you?" Ryan asked walking in sync with me.

"You know, you know I don't care anymore, it's happened forever. Why should I care when all it will do is pull me down." I said not looking away from the tiles on the floor.

It bothers me, I just try and hide it.

"I know it bothers you, you can't hide it, it's visible, you know I know what you do. Let me see." He says sympathetically and sternly.

"Show you what? I don't know what you're talking about." I say still not looking up from the tiles.

"Pull up your sleeve. Do it. Now." He says grabbing me by the arm and pulling me towards the wall.

"No, get away from me, let me go." I say struggling to get my arm out of his grip.

"No. Not until you show me how many times you've done it." he says tightening his grip on my arm.

"No Goddammit! Now let me go!" I say struggling more.

He pulls up my sleeve anyways, looking down at my arm he sees the blood. He has opened barely healed cuts from last night.

"Tell me why, why'd you do it this time." He asks holding my arm and burning holes into my soul with his eyes.

"Let me go! Leave me alone. You can't tell anyone!" I whisper scream at him.

"I won't just tell me why." he whisper screams.

"No, please just no!" I scream tears rushing down my face.

"Don't cry, please Carter don't cry." he says softly putting my head on his shoulder.

With tears rushing down my face, I pull away and walk out. Just like that I'm out.
