The bell to school rung throughout the empty halls, now filling up with students as they exited from their classes to move on to the next. 

Everyone smiled as they laughed & talked with one another. Happy voices was spread throughout the halls. Everyone worn the same attire, but tan skirts for girls, & tan pants for boys.

As for you, however, didn't have a smile on your face. You, my friend, was a nerd who was being bullied.

You held your books close to your chest, adjusting your glasses, as you tried your best to squeeze past people in the engulfed hallway.

Just as you were almost to your class, you felt a hard elbow push against your shoulder. You dropped your books because of it. You looked to the one person you knew who would do this.

It was Zuko, your personal bully, & his sister & her friends.

You gulped, knowing that they don't play around when it comes to you, & they mainly loved to pick on one thing that stood out in this school.

It was your weight.

In this school, everyone was tall, slim, & beautiful.

You.

You were chubby, (shorter/taller), & you never once felt beautiful, because your demons made sure you knew it.

You kneel down immediately, picking up your books & papers that were scattered on the square tile floors. People stepped on your stuff, not caring once to stop. You could already feel the tears sting your eyes, panic slowly rising in you. 

Then, the venomous voice, the queen of snakes, Azula, spoken out for her brother's aggressive bump, "Watch where you're going, fatass. Oh, wait, you can't hahaha!!! You're so wide, they should print wide load on your back!"

You bit your lip as you could already feel the tears sliding down your cheeks, your already broken self-esteem being tortured more & more from their words of discouragement & hate. You quickly pick your things, ready to leave, as you felt someone roughly grab your collar behind your head, stopping you & pulling you toward them. It was Azula who had you facing straight at her, her nails cut at the nape of your neck. You gulped harder, already shaking from her intense gaze.

In this school, everyone had an element that they could use. As for Azula, she has lightening. She used it against you, to terrify you, but she would only end up beating you up at the end. Her friends joining in. Other times, she would do all the abuse while the others watch, especially Zuko.

He never hurt you nor did he ever touch you. He always had this... Pained look in his eyes, but he would never show it. Just watched you get beaten, as well as say sly comments about you & your weight.

It hurt to say... That you were in love with Zuko. You don't know why, but the first day of school, you immediately fell head over heels in love for him. And you hated yourself the most because of it.

As she held your collar, she smirked darkly, showing her lightening soaked in her hand, "Are you going to apologize, or do I have to force you?"

You bit your lip, pure terror in your eyes, as you spoke out softly, "i-I'll do it."

"Good~" She lets go of your collar. You immediately bow your head as you shook, "I-Im sorry, Azula-San. I won't ever cross your way like that ever again."

She examined her nails, pointing to Zuko, "Now, apologize to my brother."

You nod your head, still bowing, as you said it once more, "I'm sorry, Zuko-San. I won't ever cross your way like that ever again."

Your heart race, cheeks burning just knowing that you're talking to him for the first time, but not the way you wanted to speak with him. You stared at the tiles, waiting for a response.

Azula looked at you, as she eyed her brother, her eyes widen slightly. Her brother... He was... Blushing?

No.

Definitely not.

But, if he does like pigs like her, then I guess he should sleep with one~ Father will definitely have a fit with him once he hears this~

She as coming up with a wicked plan. Why not stone a pig & a bird all at once? It's perfect in order to be the next successor for her father's rich Company.

"Not good enough. (Y/N), meet us after school, where the tool shed is."

You shuddered, wanting to vomit, as you knew what was coming. You nod your head, "Y-Yes, Azula-San."

She smirked as she began to walk, pushing you onto the floor, "You better. Or, I really will kill you."

Tears filled your eyes as you quickly gathered your papers & books once more, trying to wipe away the footprint marks on them. Zuko eyes you as he passed by, & the other two watched as one of them snicker, "Have fun, piggy~"

The halls were now empty.

Only you were left in them as the bell rung loudly, making your own ears sound as if they're ringing.

You stood up as you ran towards the bathroom.

You quickly opened & slammed the door, as well as the bathroom stall, as you vomit inside the toilet.

You couldn't take it. The constant abuse that happened at this hell called "school." You constantly asked your parents to move, but they never listened, claiming that everything will be okay, that you would make friends & it'll all be over soon.

You now feared for your life, even more than usual.

How much more could you take?
