This was officially the 2nd month of my second year of high school which is my sophomore year. I used to have a crush on one of the kids who bullied me. Ethan Grant Dolan. God I just wished he noticed me, but eventually I got over that crush. I started to not focus on boys and just my work from now on.

"Ok class I am going to assign partners for your social studies project!" Ms.Banks said excited

I rolled my eyes and thought I can do this by myself why do I need a partner?

The whole class groaned and rolled they're eyes just like me.

"Alright, alright we don't need the attitude". Said Ms.Banks in a nice tone.

The whole class was just bored out of they're minds and kept they're attention on Ms.Banks

Ms.Banks assigned everyone's partners. The only 2 people left were me and Ethan. When she said she was pairing both of us she said nobody can switch partners. Which meant I was stuck with Ethan until the due date.

"The due date is next month since you have so much to write and research about. You can research about anyone and write about the person based on the questions on this sheet of paper I will give each team." She said as she started handing out papers.

Ethan looked at me and smirked. He winked at me and I rolled my eyes at him.

The bell rang and I started to put my binder and books away until some tall figure walked up to me. "Looking forward to working with you babe see you at gym" Ethan told me as he lifted my chin and smirked and winked at me.

I smacked his hand away from my face. "Don't touch me" I said while shivering a bit.

He looked angry and pretended to hug me and make things better since the teacher was watching and whispered in my ear "Don't ever hit me like that again got it babe?"

He stopped hugging me and smirked and gave me a kiss through the air.

I just picked up my bag from the desk and went to my locker to put my bag away and get my hair tie. I put my bag away and put my hair up. I walked to the girls locker room and went to my locker. I put on my gym clothes a sports crop top and leggings with my sneakers.

I put my clothes away and went to the gym. I sat on the bleachers and waited for Chrissy.

Chrissy came shortly before the bell rung. "Hey Taylor!" She yelled out.

"Hey Chrissy!" I said hugging her.

We sat on the floor together since the gym teacher was talking.

Today we were doing volleyball my least favorite sport. We got into teams Chrissy and me were on the same team. Ethan was on the other team. Grayson, Ethan's brother used to be my friend until he became popular like his brother and turned against me.

Gray was dating a popular girl that bullied me. Her name was Bella. I have seen her cheat on Grayson but when I would try to talk to him or tell him he would deny it or Bella would come right on cue. I felt bad for Grayson. He was on my team.

I was doing pretty well until Ethan hit the ball. He hit the ball really hard it hit me in the face. I was in the back and it hit me. I started to see a blur then it all became black.

*Ethan's P.O.V*

I hit the ball and it directly hit Taylor in the face. I didn't mean for it to hit her I just hit it not paying mind I was going to hit it that hard. I saw her land on the floor unconscious. Everyone rushed over to her. Nobody wanted to help her Mr.Evans was in his office probably watching "education" videos again.

I ran over to her quickly and picked her up bridal style. Everyone stared at me with disgust. I just ignored them and ran to the nurses office. On my way I saw Chrissy ran to me with Taylor in my hands still. "Is she okay?" She asked urgently.

"Yea she's fine she's just unconscious but she's breathing" I say as we walk to the nurses office.

We went inside and the nurse asked what happened. "She got hit in the face with a volleyball, hard." Chrissy said.

"Who hit her with the ball?" She said while preparing an ice pack and I was resting Taylor on the nurse bed.

Chrissy looked at me but didn't say anything. "It was me I accidently hit her with the volleyball I thought it was going to go out but it hit her." I said while Chrissy sat down and looked at me disgusted.

"Alright I'll just ice pack her head you guys can go back to class I'll call the office to call you Mr?"

"Dolan, Ethan Dolan." I told her quickly.

"I'll tell the office to call your class so you can help her get to class safely got it?" She demanded.

"Yes ma'am." I told her.

Me and Chrissy went out of the office and started to walk back to gym. "You didn't do that by accident did you? You did it on purpose because you hate her right?" Chrissy scream whispered at me.

"No I actually did it by accident I just wanted my team to get the point if it went out." I told her calmly.

"I can't believe she used to like your 2-faced ass" she murmured to herself looking the other way even though I heard her.

I pulled her aside to the wall. "Wait Taylor used to like me?" I said to Chrissy.

"Yea why?" She said "It's not like you ever liked her you just broke her heart now she won't go on dates or go to prom with dudes only her friends because her first crush bullied and broke her heart now she's just a girl who is to busy focusing on her work!" She continued.

"I used to like her too, I just pretended I hated her and every time I would try to talk to her about my feelings she would give me attitude and run off so I started being rude to her since I thought she never liked me." I confessed.

Did I just confess my feelings to Taylor's best friend? And did I just hear I jepordized her shots at dating cause I broke her heart? Every time Gray would bring her over I would always want to be friends with her but I always said the wrong things. Grayson even tried to give me tips but they would never work since all my friends were there.

I just wanted to fit in and be popular and it came to the point where I needed to bully the girl I liked ever since 1st grade. My brother's best friend who is now not his best friend. And who is now a girl who only has 1 best friend since all her real friends turned on her.

God I just wished popularity didn't have to be a thing I just wish everyone would just be nice to one another no matter what.

And I wish I didn't have to be part of that hell for her.
