Sierra was sitting against a brick wall during her gym class, wearing black long sleeves under her gum uniform, which was a white gym shirt and her red gym shorts.

Her class of female students were running a 1/2 mile track while the Male students were playing soccer in the fields nearby the track. A group of females were laughing and chatting with each other until they noticed Sierra as they ran by. One of them pointed at her as some snickered. They all stopped running and looked at each other with grins until they took a deep breath all together.

" SIERRA THE SLUT, SITTING IN A TREE!!! C U T S DOWN THE WRISTS! FIRST GOES THE CRYING, THEN THE SUCKING, THEN THE PREGNANCY, THEN FINALLY THE NOOSE! "

Sierra covered eyes began to tear up underneath her bangs as she hugged her knees close to her chest, The group of girls laughing as they continued the run through the track.

Suddenly, A voice was heard near the group. "Hey uh. . . Why are you guys making fun of that girl?" A female with long blonde hair reaching down her waist tilted her head, catching up to the group of girls.

One of the girls from the group snickered. "Because She's a slut! She fucked the guy, you know, Farco Martinez? One of the popular kids in the school!" Another girl from the group spoke up. "And I heard it was when we were in middle school too! We were all like, what, 12? When it was announced by Farco himself!"

The blonde girl raised an eyebrow as she then spoke up. "But I heard that. . . He raped her. That what I heard from Sierra, at least." Suddenly one of the girls growled. "Oh Shut up honey, That Sierra brat is just trying to hide the fact she's a damn slut, Anyone else would have tried to hide that about themselves before going to High school! Get in the program Genius!" One of the girls then burst out laughing, having some of the girls look at her in curiosity. "OH! I JUST remembered this one time she actually thought me and her were REALLY close friends, Just enough for me to know her 'darkest secret'! She's apparently a LESBIAN!"

All of the girls suddenly gasped, except the blonde. "That's fucking disgusting!" One girl said. "EW!" Another laughed.

Sierra heard the girl and the groups reaction as she, out of no where, quickly got up and ran inside the school building through the gym doors, sobbing profusely as the gym teacher screamed at her in an angered tone. But with all the many threats the teacher yelled, She ignored him, running to the locker rooms as The group of girls kept laughing, The blonde hair girl glaring at the girls.

Sierra was in the schools girls locker rooms as she sobbed. She began to choked on her tears as she opened her gym locker, grabbing something quickly with a tight grip. She then growled and screamed in mixed emotions, slamming the locker door shut with a loud crash, echoing in the room. She soon fell on her knees and covered her face, tears streaming and streaming down her cheeks as her body was shaking violently in anger and depression.

" I hate this. . . I hate this. . . I HATE YOU! "

Suddenly without thinking, She raised what she grabbed in the air and stabbed it down onto her left wrist, The switchblade as sharp as ever. She stabbed her wrist at least five times before feeling the pain shocking  through her body and forcing her to cover her mouth to muffle her screams of agony. She then hesitantly stared down at her bloody wrist before quickly getting to her feet and running to the bathroom sink, turning on the cold water and crying out as she began to rinse out the rushing blood from the injured forearm.
