The Classmate

Chapter One

"A new day, a new bully" I thought to myself as I trudged to school.

I didn't bother wearing make up today, these kids aren't worth impressing.

No matter what I did, they always found something wrong with me.

When I was younger, I used to be in beauty pageants, but I had to quit because I was getting bigger than the other girls.

As I grew older, everyone started realizing this and picked on me for it.

This is why I decided to go on a diet at some point.

I got frustrated when I didn't see much of a change.

The comments kept getting worse and worse, so I started starving myself last year.

I'm not sure what good that did for me.

But here I am, still starving myself and hating what I saw in the mirror!

I also have become so weak! For example: I get easily exhausted by doing the things a normal kid should do.

"Hey, Fatolette! I think you need to stop going to McDonalds, you know, start a diet or something?"

a voice suggested from behind me.

I didn't bother turning around to see who said that.

I knew it was Georgia-Rose.

She is known for telling unnecessary, little, white lies.

She often told rumors... Directed towards me. She also told plenty of jokes... Also directed towards me.

To make things worse, she is known the most for being one of the most attractive, gentle-hearted (Yeah,right!) and flawless human beings in my school.

Whenever she came towards me, she was none of the above, except attractive and flawless.

I wish I had those green eyes, silky hair, and skinny body!

She has every guy in the school tripping over their shoes to catch up to her.

Why couldn't I have at least one boy secretly like me?

Not that I like anyone in this miserable school.

"Um move, bitch!" I was suddenly shoved to the ground.

My backpack fell to the ground, spilling out a binder, which let loose a load of homework assignment sheets and some test notes.

To make it worse, the papers had fallen into a puddle that took form from the terrible rainstorm last night.

When I looked up to see if anyone saw what had happened, I saw Georgia-Rose smiling innocently while her side-kick, Lilian, took a few pictures that they both laughed at.

I groaned as I forced my lazy bones up, and fell back down.

After three tries, I finally got up and collected everything back into my backpack just as the late bell rung.

"Late again, huh?" I thought to myself as I swung my backpack over one shoulder and limped off to class.

"Charlotte?" the teacher asked as soon as I entered the classroom.

"Yes?" I asked back. The teacher gave me a "No joking!" look.

It took me a while to realize that she had been taking attendance.

This classroom was so stuffed, sometimes it was hard for the teacher to finish taking attendance on time.

After looking quite baffled, I answered with a quick, "Here!" and looked down at my binder while everyone snickered.

The rest of this boring class consisted of some of my classmates passing notes to each other and snickering behind me.
