The Bully's Nerd

Chapter Twenty One

Chapter Twenty One

      My mouth was agape as the cold, sticky coffee, ran down my head and face. Drops of the foamy liquid dripped across my skirt and when I looked up I saw the three people who were in nightmares. Gabby, Marcia, and Marco, all stood there with a smirk, their faces glowing with amusement. Gabby and Marcia began to laugh like it was not tomorrow when I stood up and the whipped cream fell on the floor. Marco chuckled, wrapping his arm around Marcia's waist and winking at Jake. This was all to make a mockery of me. "Aww. Look Gabby. The coffee is running down her just like your dad ran away from her pathetic whore of a mom." Marcia chuckled, running her hand down Marco's bicep. "Oh my god. True. And look at her hair. It's a dirty, sticky, and tangled just like her life." Gabby busted out into another fit of giggles along with Marcia.

      I had two choices in this situation, kill the three spawn of Satan in front of me or run away like I have been doing for a while now. Yet, the cowardice to run away never came. I stood up, wiped my forehead, took off my headband and lunged at the two girls in front of me. My fist came in contact with Gabby's face first, while my other hand grabbed a hold of Marcia's matted hair. It was one against two and even with those odds, I wasn't backing down. They have put me and my family through hell and I wasn't about to let them talk about my mom like that. My head was throbbing from all the angry thoughts, making me drown out the screams of the two girls. I was livid and no one was holding me back, not even Jaqueline. I went to punch Gabby again but, a pair of strong arms pulled me back.

      "Baby Girl, please calm down. You're going to put yourself through another panic attack. They've put you through as much shit as it is. Don't let them see you like that. Please breathe and calm down." Jake whispered in a soothing tone. My body went limp in his arms and the tears began to fall, one by one. And they continued to fall because I knew he was right. Between all the shit they have put me through, I'm quite glad they did. God doesn't give you the people you want. He gives you the people you need. To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you, and to make you the person you need to be. Being around them has shown me that people who aren't happy with who they are, them, will tear others down to feel more human. My hand slowly wiped away my tears and I pulled out of Jake's arms, standing up once again. I turned to face the two girls who were being helped up by Marco, a scowl on all their faces.

      "You win. You've hurt me over and over again. I'm done trying to get by you guys just to survive without breaking down. I'm done with your bullshit. You three have no idea how many fucking nights I spent crying because you two can't get your head out of your ass." I said pointing at the two girls. "All three of you are fucking petty. Like what the hell did I ever do to you? You already took everything from me. What the hell else do you want!?" I screamed angrily as I wave my hand towards all of them. I was livid, and the angry tears that wanted to fall, only making it worse. They didn't have the right to see me cry. Not today. Not ever.

      "Obviously, I have no say whether I get hurt or not. But I'm done being your stupid little punching bag. Gabby, your dad left you too and no not my dad. Your biological dad. Marcia, Marco won't even look at you as his number one but you still settle for being his little whore. And last but not least, Marco, you can't get a real girlfriend because you never had a mom to teach you how to treat a woman. Please rot in hell and leave me and my friends out of your little scenes. I'm done coming to school every day just to be afraid. It's about time you got over that I barely got comfortable with being myself because of people like you." I said with my eyes glossing over and my hands shaking. I turned around and grabbed Jake and Jaqueline's hands, not wanting to walk out alone. We silently walked away from the gaping three and the crowd we attracted. I knew that Jaqueline and Jake also were gaping, whether it was mentally or physically. As soon as the cafeteria doors shut behind us, I slid down the wall and began but, I just wanted to leave. Once we were outside of the cafeteria I slid down the wall and let the rest of my tears fall.

      Silently, I stood up, and walked to my locker, alone, to get my purse that had my keys. Walking back, I tried to get some of the whipped cream out of my hair until I reached the two people who I would be leaving with, side by side. They too, had their belongings and together, hand in hand, we walked out of the building I like to call, Hell. Where no one dies a virgin because life fucks us all.

I went to a Valentine's Day school dance on Friday because my friends forced me. Like I'm single and I don't get along with a lot of people, Peaches. I almost died. This author almost died. Personally, I don't enjoy Valentine's Day. It's such a Hallmark holiday, but I do hope you had a good day on yesterday. Let me know if I'm not the only one who celebrated that I'm single. We should make a day and call it Single Wednesday. I like it. Anyways, love you Peaches and I'll update more in a little while. -Aime
