School Shooting

chapter 4

Alex and I drove to school in silence. With him grabbing the steering wheel, and myself clutching my backpack.

Alex glanced at me. Then grabbed my pack pack and put it on the floor. "Chill Elizabeth. It's not like anyone will steal your stuff."

You'd be surprised Alex. A bunch of people do that. I only thought that. But in reality I looked out the window and tried not to feel guilty on what I plan to do today.

It worked because everyone at school thinks I'm weird because of all my weird things I'm into.

Like me being in the Harry Potter fandom for some reason. And my love for Korean Boys.

It's not my fault that those things that make me 'weird.' Are the weird things that make me sane.

But I guess not sane enough.

We get the the school and Alex parks. I grabbed my bag and wanted to dash out. But Alex locked the door before I could get out. "What, Alex?" I say irritated.

He pauses, "Are you okay? You seem to be a bit paranoid."

"I'm fine. Can I just go? I don't want to be late." I look at him. Pleading him with my dark brown eyes.

"I just want to know- if anyone is bulling you Elizabeth." He actually looked sincere and genuin. But that didn't fool me.

I chuckled darkly and responded, "What difference does it make. Everyone at school seems to put me down-"

"Tell me who it is and I swear I'll-!" He exclaimed but I cut him off.

"You'll what, huh!?" I yelled and he seemed shocked. "It's not like you're any better from the rest. Ive seen you with my own two eyes on how you are! So how can you tell someone to stop if you're a bully yourself."

"Elizabeth, I-"

"Just save it okay!? I don't need your pity party." I said and went out the door.

I didn't bother on being gentle when I closed it. I was so angry, and now is the best day to let that anger out and letting everyone know how I feel.
