JENNA POV

No matter how long it had been since the incident, every day as I made my way down the school hallways, that I like to call hell, people stared. Some with pity, some with disgust, some just staring with a blank expression. There were always whispers everywhere I went. "That's her"'s and "what happened again?"'s. Having gotten used to this, I could just ignore it, but it still didn't change the fact that after almost a full year of all that whispering, it starts infecting your head. Constant, white noise, never stopping.

I stopped in front of my locker and just stood there looking down at my dark VANS. I decided that this would be the day. Maybe I would smile at someone, maybe I would be polite to people or something. 'Yeah right,' I thought. I pretty much told myself that everyday, and I think you can guess how many times it has actually happened.

A chorus of laughing down the hall brought me out of my train of thought. I looked up at the group and my heart sank. Luke Hemmings and Calum Hood, along with their arm candy, who's names I couldn't remember. They were the plastics, wearing bubblegum pink at every opportunity they had, tanned, almost orange skin, dyed blonde hair, wearing so much makeup that it must surely make them weigh a significant amount more, with what seemed like permanent chewing gum in their mouths. Everyone but the girls seemed to understand that the boys were only using them for a free, easy blowjob at the end of a long day. They were pretty much the polar opposite to me, with my dark, baggy clothes, makeup free face, and dark wavy hair that I had grown almost purposely to cover my face, trying to draw the least amount of attention possible. Obviously, this meant the whole group seemed to have decided that they should make my life hell. They were my daily reminder that I was not normal, that no one liked me, that I was alone. Completely and utterly.

I silently groaned as they drew closer with fake smiles and unnecessarily loud laughing.
"Well, well, well. Look who it is..." Luke Hemmings. The school asshole, yet only I and the other supposed "losers" seemed to realise this. Everyone else thought he was some golden boy who fell from heaven. He was one of the jocks, yet still managed to be what would, in my books, pretty cool... If he wasn't the asshole he was. He had an extremely good taste in music, I knew that, and decided to get a lip piercing done earlier this year. To be honest I think we could be friends if he didn't decide to torment me, every step I took.

"Oh hang on, I just completely forgot your name. What is it again?"

I glared at him.

"What's that?" He leaned in closer, smirking. "Cat got your tongue?"

I was extremely tempted to spit in his face there and then but by the numbers surrounding me, I didn't think I could win that fight.

Instead of trying to retaliate, I turned my attention to my locker, and glared at my fingers when I realised they were shaking as I reached up to turn the dial. Before I could finish the code, Luke pulled my hand away swiftly and squeezed it in his, pain surging up my hand to my wrist. Tears sprung to my eyes as I pulled away with more strength than he was expecting, and managed to make it out of his grasp.

His friendly facade fell quick enough and he started glaring at me. "You're lucky I'm in a good mood today, dipshit." Luke murmured, just before he knocked shoulder as he made his way past. As he walked away, his possy were laughing like a pack of hyenas at the pain he inflicted, a couple of them deliberately stepping on my feet, and pushing me back into the row of lockers. All I did was look down.

Finally all of them left and I reached up to rub my eyes, quickly wiping away any tears that were threatening to fall. I would not let them win, I would not let them get the satisfaction.

I took a deep breath and started making my way to my next lesson. From what had just occurred, I could tell today was going to be shit.
