Ever since the fight everyones been acting absurd. Some of my own friends have been acting distant and apparently its because they thought I was responsible for the fight between styles and James. But I don't really know. Rumours in st. Stephens were never really true. Maybe its because of all the drama that had been caused and maybe there are other reasons. I have the people I loved the most beside me, supporting me and I know that everything will blow over eventually so I don't intend on paying much attention to it. Kiara, Leah, James, Charles and I are sitting in the cafeteria nibbling on our lunch as we chat and laugh. Doing our usual shenanigans, whilst Charles does some funny impressions.
" I'm going to get some desert, wanna come?" James asks. "Would I ever say no to desert?" I squeak rhetorically and jump up to see whats there to eat. yummmm... I think to myself.
We're walking back to the table with our ice cream in our hands when a group of around eight girls , all my 'friends' come and surround us. We're backed up against a wall. I wonder whats going on, this entire scenario is really surprising. The fact that exactly all my friends who were acting absurd and distant since the fight were surrounding me with hostile expressions plastered across their caked up faces made me suspicious. The one person who confused me the most was Leah, what was she doing here? Just a few minutes ago we were conversing and cracking jokes.
" whats going on you guys?" I ask curiously " oh i'll tell you whats going on you slut. We've learnt the truth about you and now I'm going to make your life a living hell. " Magnolia spits through gritted teeth. " huh?" I plainly say, truly lost and confused. Learnt what truth, was this a prank? " what are you talking about I didn't sa-" before I can complete my sentence Magnolia rudely cuts me off saying," I don't want to hear any of your bullshit, I don't have time for it, you just listen to me you little whore. You're the cheapest girl in this school, an attention seeker and a bitch." She says evilly smirking. "This right here is only half of us, you better watch yourself or it won't be good for you." I hear tanya say.
I stand there dumbfounded wondering why they were doing this. I haven't done anything. My eyes fill up and I'm about to burst out crying any moment but they're video recording me so I try my best to control myself. I feel myself go weak in the knees and my hands shiver against my will. I feel weak. I stand there in shock, absolute shock. I'm staring at Leah wondering why she's throwing abuses and insults at me. What have I ever done to her? Or any of them for that matter. I'm stunned by this scenario in general but by Leah the most. The other girls were never truly my friends, something never really let me trust them. Now I know why. I feel my heart pounding in my chest harder than a hammer hitting a nail. It hurts everywhere. I breathe in harshly finding it difficult to breathe as I try my best to not let the tears I'm holding back come gushing down like a waterfall. I'm trying my best.
James is standing right beside me doing nothing but tugging at my hand and urging me to leave with him but my brain isn't comprehending anything at this moment. I feel lost, I feel broken. I once called these girls my friends. I once called Leah my best friend I thought to myself. I haven't done anything, nothing at all and I keep softly repeating that hoping they understand but they don't. They stand there ruthlessly looking at me like hungry wolves looking at the last piece of meat.
" I won't even have to physically fight with you, I'll ruin you with my words in front of every single person over here. If you don't stop lying to me I'll murder you. " Magnolia says " I'll murder you. " she repeats and it echoes in my ears. She couldn't even physicality fight with me if she wanted to. You're half my height you dimwit I think to myself but don't say it out loud because I can't. I'm speechless. My mouth isn't opening to retort even though I'm the last person to keep shut. I always stand up for myself but I don't want to make things worse, I cant handle this any longer. Hurt is coursing through my veins.
