As soon as the bell rang, I quickly took off my glasses, gathered my stuff, and left.

It was freezing cold outside. I blew hot air into my hands and hugged myself hoping my body would sooner or later heat up. I was in P.E. I watched as everyone played basketball. Everyone who didn't want to play had to walk five laps around the court. Being the not-so-sporty kid I was, I walked alone around the basketball court. I saw Catherine, Julia, and Erica play with the "popular" boys trying to be all cute and whatnot. They annoy me so fucking much.
"Oh Haileyyy, why don't you come play with us?" Said Erica sarcastically. She and everyone else laughed. I rolled my eyes and continued walking but they began to follow me.
"Hailey, I heard you read those nasty fanfics hm." Said one of the boys. He was getting rather close to me and I was getting extremely uncomfortable.
"I don't know what you're talking about." I said immediately.
"Hailey, do you think I'm hot? Like your Dan and Phil?" He asked somewhat mockingly putting his arm around my shoulder. I pushed him off forcefully.
"No. Go away." I said.
"Whoa man. Just trying to start a conversation." He laughed and went away with the girls. I can't believe he just said that.
Our coach let us go back to the locker room. I quickly walked back and began changing before everyone else so no one would have to see me. Since P.E. is my last period, I'm pretty excited to leave. I pack all my clothes and have my backpack ready to go.
"Hailey, you're just going to leave like that?" Said Erica as she passed by. I awkwardly nodded.
"Ugh. You look like a mess. Cut your hair or something! Haha!" She said. The other girls laughed with her.
"Your hair is probably so dry, it feels like barbed wire." Laughed Catherine.
"Use some shampoo too, WHOO!" Julia said holding her nose. I felt my stomach turn. What am I supposed to do anyway? I felt like crying again. I don't want to cry in front of everyone like last week. I ran to the restroom, found a stall, and locked myself inside. My vision blurred.
"Fucking shit!" I said to myself. I hate crying when I'm angry. Makes me seem so weak. The tears leak out and before I knew it my face was officially leaking many different fluids. I wiped my face quickly with my sleeves and opened the stall. I looked at the mirror. Do I really look that hideous.
The restroom door slammed shut. I turned around right away and ran to it. I tried to push the door, but it still didn't open. I heard the girls' laugh start to fade.
They did it. They did it again. They locked me in the restroom again.
