As I'm walking down the hallway no one says anything to me. I'm staring at the floor and just walking to class. It's depressing, not having anyone to talk to or anyone like you. As usual I walk to the back of the room and sit at the lab table by myself. I start to work on the assignment Mr. McGerald gave us yesterday but then Terry walks up and says "Why do you wear all of those bracelets and listen to that gay emo shit Danielle? Your an ugly fag. Why don't you just kill yourself already?" And spins away on her heel and everyone starts staring and laughing at me. I grab my headphones from around my neck and blare Sleeping With Sirens until the teacher walks in.

Later that night I got a message from one of the other kids in my science class. It said "I agree with Terry. Just get lost and kill yourself already." I think to myself "No one wants you here so why are you still here?" I climbed into my bed and passed out from being over tired and hoped that tomorrow would be better.

The next day was when things only got worse. I fake more smiles, more laughs, and even forced myself to talk to teachers and group partners. Everyone literally on the same day walked out on me. Britney and her sister Miranda all of a sudden stopped talking to me along with Gracie and Sasha. It only made things worse for me. At lunch things got so much worse. Someone threw their apple at me that was eaten off of already. For the second time in 24 hours I think to myself "No one wants you here so why are you still here?"

Then things changed so much it scared me and it still does. All thanks to Terry and Jay.
