Alia's POV

Let me start by introducing myself. I am Alia. I am 18. I am indian which means parents expect you to listen to them even if you are an adult and can make your own decisions. No I never got a sweet sixteen and for the looks of it right now I am not getting a graduation party either. I have an older sister Siya, who is 21 and just completed college and I have a younger sister Parishi who is 13. Now lets get back to reality.

My alarm beeping woke me up, it was 6am which means I have to get up and get ready. After getting ready I head down stairs to the kitchen to see my mum and Siya my older sister. Siya was eating breakfast and getting ready for work and mum was making my breakfast. I go get my coffee amd sit next to Siya handing mum the plate. I was almost done and hear car beep outside.

That means that my friends were hear to pick me up for school. Me, Vivi, and Scarlett drive to school together everyday. I seriously hate to start my day with all that abuse that I have to go through at school.

"Alia, are you ready for today?" Vivi asked as Scarlett was driving.

"Am I ready? Yes. I am. The minute I step in the school they are probably gonna bully me once again." I replied to her.

"Alia, you should tell someone about this" Scarlett said.

"If I do he will ruin my little sister's life at middle school. I mean yeah she is best friend with his sister Aaliyah. But I love her too much let anything happen. Can we drop this now?" I said.

"As you wish princess." We all laughed at Vivi's comment.

As we entered school we walked to our locker put our stuff in and Vivi and Scarlett left as I told them I need to go use restroom.

That's when I felt my pushed to the locker.

"Where do you think you are going?" He aksed. I dont answer him.

"When I ask you something you asnwer me. Got it?" He said hitting me and I collapse on the floor.

I still didn't answer cause I was scared. And he hit me more but this time his friends join in too. My nose started to bleed and so did my arm. I limp and walk to the restroom lock myself in the bathroom and just cry. Because if I cried in front of him he would hit me more.

You all might think who is that "he" I keep referring to. Well lets introduce him. His name is Shawn. He is the popular kid of this school. At first when I joined this school I thought he was cute. I still think he is but he bullies me. He is a bad boy of the school. God knows how many girls he must have hooked up with.
I hear Scarlett calling my name out.

"Alia you in here?" She says. "Yes" I said opening the bathroom stall door. Shit I didn't wash the blood.

"Alia, dont tell me thats blood." She said grabbing my arm and pulling me near the sink and started washing it out.

As she was cleaning it I was tearing up. It hurts a lot. She cleaned my arm and my nose and all the blood from me and we walked to our class. We sat in our seats. I sit next to Aaron. Aaron has been friend ever since I started this school.

"Alia are you okay?" He asked me and looking at my arm. He still hasnt seen my face.

"I am fine Aaron" I said looking at him which was a mistake because I knew he couldn't see me hurt.

"He did not hit you on your face. I am not gonna spare him." He said angrily.

"No Aaron. If you are my friend then you wouldn't do anything." I tell him.

He always ask me why I tell him not do anything. I haven't told him the reason. I couldn't let anything happen to my sister.

As soon as I enter my house I run upto my room and try to hide my bruises. I do that and carry on with my homework and had dinner with my family and before sleeping I take my clothes out for tomorrow. Because tomorrow was Aaron's soccer game and he invited me.
