99 Days

Day 29 Monday

I don't wanna get up and go to school. I am starting to be in a better mood lately and I do not want school to rain on my parade. Ugh but I guess I have to go anyways...

I got up and got dressed. Ethan seemed to have been humming all morning, a song I didn't know. It put me in a better mood. We walked to school together and thankfully nothing bad happened all morning. I didn't worry about the other students. No one bothered me.

The rest of the day went well. Though all my thoughts were of him. I don't want to have feelings for him. I can't let anyone be that close to me. They always turn their back on me. Always...

Suddenly my phone rang. I answered, "Hello?"

"Hey I have a question for you." the anonymous person said.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Just someone who is sick and tired of seeing your ugly face in my school. Why don't you crawl back into the hole you came out of freak." The call ended. I was at Ethan's all alone. He went out to meet with some friends. So he wasn't going to be home for a few hours. I sank to my knees and cried. Why do people have to torment me? Why can't they just leave me alone? I hate this. I hate this school. I hate my life, it's just one big joke. Not one single thing goes right. I can never just get a break for once.

I sat there for a while and just let myself cry. I haven't cried for a few days so I let out all that I've held in, my anger towards my parents, my hatred for the school, my hatred for everything that happens to me. It just isn't fair. Just then I heard the door open. Ethan walked into the room I was in and stared. It looked like he didn't know what to do. He came over to me and put his arm around me, holding me close. He asked me why I was crying and I told him of the anonymous caller. Then he got mad and it scared me a bit.

"Do you understand just how much I hate that school?" he said.

"Actually I think I do." I replied.

"They tormented her and now you. Why can't they just leave you alone?!"

"I don't know, Ethan. I was asking myself the exact same question."

"I'm sorry. I know this is a lot harder for you, you're the one going through all of this crap. I just hate them so much for how they have treated you." He pulled me into a hug. I didn't say anything but that hug helped me feel a lot better. He made me feel safe.
