Bullying, Our Secret

Chapter 12 - "I know that I'm a waste"

<***>

Callie wrapped her towel around her chest before slipping out of her full bikini.

Searching through her locker she realized that something was wrong. She couldn't her find her clothes.

She looked around as some giggles broke through the room.

"Why don't you look in the trash were you belong!" A voice said breaking into laughs also gaining more giggles before they disappeared behind the entrance.

She opened the tap of the only bin in the changing room. Her shirt and shorts came into view almost immediately. Some tears slipped down her face.

She let her towel fall down to the floor exposing her naked body.

What she didn't realize was the phone pointing into her direction before a picture was taken.

<***>

The tension released when the school finished was pleasurably.

I walked rapidly reaching my house after twenty godamn minutes.

Opening the front door i crashed with one tough body, Rick.

He stared at me but I passed by him.

"Callie, we need to talk" He spoke exhausted sighing in the act.

"There is nothing left to say, I know that Im a waste" I said as my voice trembled turning my hands into hard fists.

The silence took over us. I waited for something to happen, but that was a miracle. I knew he wasn't sorry about all the things he called me.

Giving up I made my way upstairs to my room still hearing his voice calling me, but i didn't care. After what happened yesterday he turned into one of them...

I laid on my bed as my phone emitted a sound. I picked it up to see a text message flashing on my screen.

My throb increased as i read the name "Ryan Butler"

Unlocking the phone I went straight to the messages app. After spending some seconds debating wether or not to reply I held all the braveness left on me and I opened it.

Ryan:

"Hey Call, I asked your friend for your number, just wanted to tell you that it was fun spending time with you :)"

I didn't realize the smile forming on my face as i read the message.

I decided to reply, after spending quite a few minutes debating with myself about which answer was the best one i finally tapped the "send" button.

Callie:

"Thanks, I enjoyed the lesson too! :)"

Soon after he replied with another message.

Ryan:

"Cool, well it would be fun to repeat it but out of school, maybe we can go out to eat something"

My heartbeat accelerated once again as my eyes analyzed his new text message.

Callie:

"That would be amazing"

I replied almost instantly. I still couldn't believe that Ryan Butler just wrote that.

Ryan:

"Cool ill tell you more tomorrow i gotta go to Basket training :) Bye cutie"

My smile widened to his compliment. He was so sweet.

Callie:

"Bye, see you tomorrow"

I typed and with that last words i turned my phone off giggling for no reason.

I have never felt like this before, he wasn't like the other guys of school. He actually was caring and sweet. It is hard to believe that he wants to spend time with me.

But what if he is just acting up?

My conscience broke my hopes but i quickly brushed it away.

I wasn't going to let myself down just for once. It would be mean from me to reject him when he is the only guy that has talked to me since i was 12.

The door bell brought me out to reality. I was really stuck on him.

The sudden voice of my mother calling my name sharpened my ears.

"Callie it is for you" I stood from y bed confused. Nobody ever visits me only Aria but normally she texts me before he appears.

I rushed downstairs but I immediately stopped, frozen on the middle of the stairs.

His chocolate eyes travelled to my position running up and down my body sending shivers down my spine. I knew he enjoyed doing that, He likes seeing me suffer.

My mum looked at both of us with a smile on her face, little did she know that the guy just standing centimeters away from her made my life a living hell.

She gestured with her hand for me to take over the situation.

I started to walk wondering what he wanted and also wishing that I could just disappear.

I reached him not daring to look at him.

"Well i will leave you guys alone" My mum disposed to say winking at me.

I glared at her.

My mothers footstep became muted seconds after he left so finally I encouraged myself to talk.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, fear and curiosity invading me.

He lifted something that he had on his hand, his backpack. "You are my teacher remember? He said, clearly he wasn't really up to the idea and neither was I but I promised the principal I was going to do it so I cant deny him now.

I gestured with my head in signal to enter my house. He did.

Slowly I walked upstairs to my room, him following me.

I opened the door letting him pass first.

He analyzed my room looking around.

"You don't have such a bad room as i expected" He chuckle letting himself fall on top of a chair next to my work-desk.

"You know nothing about me" I mumbled sitting next to him exhausted.

He took out his math books and placed them on top of the desk opening them on the page that he was currently working on.

"So which question do you need help with?" I asked resting my head on my hand as i leaned closer to his book.

He pointed to a question at the bottom of the page.

"Let me read it first" I said focusing on the question.

I felt his eyes nailed on me making me feel awkward and uncomfortable.

"I made that, didn't I?" I finally spoke, and to be honest i rather he wouldn't had to.
