B for bitch

Everybody stared at me in shock, as I walked through the school doors. I looked at the ground nervously among the whispers of teenagers.

I was always the outcast, nobody in school. Nobody barely even noticed me some of the time. I was described as 'Alexa' bitch' by everyone in the school who even cared. Alexa was confident was she looped her arm though mine.

"They love you," Her soft voice purred into my ear, making me feel stuff a best friend wasn't supposed to.

theirs only one person who's opinion matters to me in this school. I thought to myself. She waved at all her friends, or just the people who adored her.

"Hey Skylar," A group of people who've never cared to talk to me, approached me. The only person who was bitter about my new makeup was Brittany. Shocker. She walked over to me with confidence I knew and accepted I would never have.

She scoffed in my face with her typical bitchy attitude. "So you think you can just come to school with a new hairstyle and wardrobe, and everybody will start to finally think you're pretty?"

I stayed silent.

Lexi was too busy talking to her boyfriend's friends to stand up for me, like she usually does. Thats why Brittany knew she had the advantage.

She smirked, knowing she won, and could continue when I stayed silent. "Aw, did I upset poor little Sky?" Silence again. I was too weak and she knew that, which is why she decided to prey upon me all the time.

"You're hideous, its quite amusing to see you try to look human." She continued her insults, slowly angering me, but not enough to get a reaction from me.

"No wonder your mom didn't want you , she probably killed hersel-" She was cut off unexpectedly from the slap of my hand. Her face was opened eyed, and shocked, as the pink stain on her cheek remained. Even I was shocked, that I opened the courage to finally put her in her place. Nobody messed with that touchy subject.

The whole hallway was silent, including everybody in them, as they all stared at us. I noticed Alexa hiding a smile, for me finally standing my ground. Her face reddened the more in anger as she yanked my hair back; a typical girl move.

I didn't even flinch, as I grew use to the pain from my fathers. When she saw that it didnt effect me, she tried to slap me, but I grabbed her wrist forcefully and twisted it sideways with no emotion on my face.

She let out a cry of pain and tried to pull it away. Her whimpering got louder at the harsh position her arm was in.

After letting her go, I grabbed her collar and pulled her toward me, not knowing where my sudden courage came from.

At this point I was seething in anger with gritted teeth. Im so sick of the people in this town acting like they know exactly what Ive been through.

"You're stuck up ass has never experienced a glimpse of the hell I've been through, so don't you dare act like you know me."

With that I let her go and watch her run away in fear. She was surprised that someone beside Alexa finally took the courage to put her in her place. Everybody either adored her, or feared her. She was Queen B and ruled over everyone, and that stopped today.

Even though I knew I was too harsh, I couldn't help but feel relieved and alive.

Everybody in the hallways looked worried and scared, but continued talking like nothing happened.

Alexa and Conner walked over to me. "Wow pumpkin, you deserve an award for that." Conner said resting his arm on my head, like the proud older brother he is.

I shoved his arm off my shoulder sick of him doing that, no matter my protest and shoving him away.

"I don't know what came over me."

"Satan thats who," Conner answered making Alexa elbow him in the rib.

"I'm so proud you finally stood up to Queen B royal highness head ass herself. Ive taught you well." This made me snort. "Queen Brittany more like Queen bitch."

The bell rung signalling we were late for class.

"C'mon guys," Conner said pulling me and Alexa's waist around his comforting arms.

They were like the family Ive never had. Or like my old family. I always thought of Conner as an older brother, and Hayley as my own younger sister, but I could never help but think of Alexa as more than a sister. More than I was supposed to.

As we walked toward class we were interrupted by the loud voice on the school speaker.

"Skylar Michael, please report to the principals office at once."

I sighed knowing whatever proof I had against Brittany making fun of my dead mother, some good acting including shedded tears, and A paycheck, was enough for them not to believe me, and get payed to make me get in trouble.

"Good luck Sky."

I think Ill be needing more then luck to face the school, and my father, whom I used to call dad.

I resulted in getting fucking suspended, and my father trying to act like a good parent, and "discipline me" for once.

Damn and I thought being hot was a swoon worthy dream.
