the bell rang, which meant that i was dismissed from class and allowed to go to lunch. i sighed while i grabbed my calculus book and got up from my desk to head out the class door.
"move fatass", a boy snarled at me as i tried moving out of the door, and i flinched.
he quickly pushed me aside roughly, and i stumbled. my fellow classmates could only watch from aside, and then rush past me with no emotion, acting as if i didn't just get bullied. not a single one of them cared, and the thought created a pang in my heart.
i felt enraged, but also hurt at the same time. all of my emotions were bubbling up at the brim, waiting to be spilt, but i couldn't express myself. i just couldn't, so i kept my insecurities and pain hidden.
i ignored the terrible incident that had just occurred and hastily picked up my calculus book that i just now realized i had dropped, and rushed out the classroom door so i could finally go to lunch and eat. one of my favourite things about school.
i usually sit at lunch with my tiny group of friends, but today, they avoided me. in fact, they have been avoiding me for a week now. i didn't really understand why though. they've been leaving me to sit with the popular girls, and it makes me sad, but i try not to pay any thought to it.
so, in sadness, i timidly walked over to an abandoned table in the lunch room and busted out my bag of chips and a bottle of juice that i stashed in my backpack, and started eating. right when i munched on the chip, i felt a little bit better. just a little bit though.
but, what i didn't know was that while i was eating, your attention was diverted to me.
you watched me with sadness in your heart, and so badly wanted to invite me over to your table with your other friends, but you felt so nervous, so you kept to yourself.
from afar, the group of girls who were jealous of me earlier were now watching us yet again in the same burning hatred that they did a while ago. they all suddenly started to whisper amongst the whole lunch table, talking about how they would get back at me.
but i had no idea of any of these plans, and so poor, shy me was not aware of all the pain that was going to be sent my way.
