After Ap calculus class I was very relieved that at least one section of school was over and I could relax a bit.
I walked into the school's cafeteria. It was very large and everyone was sitting in groups. I walked over to the counter to get some thing to eat and most people were staring at me. I felt uncomfortable and made no eye contact with any one.
"Hello ma'am, please I would like to have a hamburger sandwich, orange juice and an apple" I told the food attendant politely.
"Oh sure! You look new here, did you just resume?" She asked in a friendly tone.
"Yes ma I am" I answered politely.
"Okay here's your order, hope you enjoy it" she said handing me over my order and collecting my money.
I looked around for an empty table to seat in and i found one right across the room. I went over and sat down to eat my food when the doors of the cafeteria opened with force. Having Raymond walk in through the door with two other boys. They looked around in search of someone and when Raymond gaze fell on me he smirked and started to come over.
"Well, well, who do we have here? If it isn't the new student Claire BLACK!" He said as him and his two friends laughed.
"Its 'MARK' not Black" l simply said to him.
"I know stupid!!" He barked at me while he sat on my table.
He took my apple and started playing with it by tossing it up in the air and catching it continuously. Finally he took a large bite out of it and then threw it away.
"I think that apple is bad!" Raymond snorted.
"That's my apple you know." I said calmly.
Raymond grabbed my head warmer off and then pulled my hair by the pony tail and said "Hey! Talk only when you're asked too!" Then he threw me on the floor. I flinched because it was the first time some one threw me on floor cause I have never been bullied.
"Could this day get any worse" I mumbled under my breath.
Then he went for my sandwich and scattered it all over my body. They were cheers from some students as he did this. His friends were laughing behind him as they encouraged him. With my head facing the floor I thought it was all over only to feel some wet substance pouring in to my hair down to my face. It was then I realized it was my orange juice wasting on my face. More cheers from students as he did this and students chanting his name.
He then squatted as his eyes faced my face. "Now you know the likes of you aren't welcome here" he growled at me. Then he left alongside his friends.
I didn't move from where I was. I just sat there waiting for lunch period to be over.
It finally was and I was left alone in the cafeteria. It was then I realized that it was the first time I was being bullied in my whole life. I smelt like hamburger and Orange and my top was mess. I went over to the toilet to clean myself up. I decided to skip three classes (which I regretted) and go for only the last one which was P.E.
I ran over to the locker room and changed into my sports outfit which was a tank top and mini skirt. I quickly changed into it and put my damaged clothes into a plastic bag (I guess I'm going to wear my sports outfit home). I sat there in the locker room for the three periods before my P.E class.
As I waited I started to think why on earth I listened to my mom and come here. I started to wish I never left my former school. I thought about a lot of things . As all these thoughts run through my mind tears started flowing down my cheeks. It was then I realized how much I didn't want to leave my home country. Slowly I drifted into sleep..................................................
I woke up when I heard some girls chatting and laughing (yah, I'm a light sleeper). I realized they were laughing at me because I was sleeping in a locker room, but I didn't care at least they woke me right on time for my P.E class.
I stood up and went to the football field for my P.E class and I saw that alot of people were already there. They all stood in groups talking about one thing or the other. A slim, tall and well-built man came and I could guess that he was our sports teacher.
"Well hello students. I can see that you all are back from your summer break. Hope you guys have been exercising?? Well good to have you back. My name still remains Philip for those just joining us. I can see we have two new students in this class" he said looking at the papers in his hand.
"A Michael Jordan and a Claire Mark. Are they both here??" He asked.
I raised my hand to indicate I was present and the Michael did the same.
"Okay then let's get into our business for today" he continued
He took us to the volleyball court and said we were going to play a little of dodge ball. I had seen it on TV before but have never really played it so I guess it was going to be fun. At least it will make me forget my earlier memories.
We were separated into two teams 12 players on each side. Unfortunately for me one of the boys, Eric who was with Raymond during the cafeteria saga was on my team. He had a smirk on his face when his gaze met mine he gave me the scariest glare I had ever seen.
Mr. Philip blew the his whistle and the game started. We started running around to dodge the incoming ball from the other team and also threw very hard to get some one in the other team.
Suddenly a hand gripped me by the shoulder and held me to the spot. It was then I realized it was that Raymond's friend. His grip was so strong that I couldn't get free after all my struggling.
"Hey! Jason, over here" he yelled out to his friend who was in the other team and was also with Raymond at the cafeteria.
I looked over to see him when my stomach felt the impact of the ball. It was very painful, and yet again more balls kept coming and coming. Some hit my stomach, my chest and my leg. Eric was still clutching me and I knew from the smirk on Jason's face he was about to give an epic throw. Eric released me and before I knew what happened the ball landed on my face pushing me to the ground. I felt as if my face had broken, I started to feel a liquid substance coming down my nose and when I touched it I discovered it was blood.
Now I knew the answer to my question; yes, today have definitely gotten worse.
