"It was finally the first day of my junior year in the new high school. I woke up early in the morning; it was just 6 am. I ate some flakes and dressed up with jean shorts and a top while my depression and nervous levels were at their maximum. Mom told me to relax, but I just couldn't accept the idea. Anyway, I said okay and took my bag containing random books and went to school, walking nervously. As I entered the high school, students began to look at me and whisper, 'This girl is new!' Of course, when I heard these words, I turned pink!

I walked in feeling incredibly lost, and suddenly I saw Mrs. Haley. I was so happy to see her, and she told me, 'I'm happy to see you! Welcome to our school, Jas!' Then she guided me to my first class and gave me a map with room numbers and said goodbye.

I entered the classroom and sat alone at the last table, not talking to anyone, since my personality got damaged from that dark summer! Students realized that I was shy, so they began to whisper and giggle. I said to myself in a very low voice, 'Great! Things can't get better!'

I barely finished my sentence when Camilla entered the classroom. Wearing high heels, putting on full makeup, and with dyed hair. She entered the room, took a look at the classroom, and just smiled. Everyone welcomed her. I was praying that she wouldn't notice me, but of course, she did!

She looked at me and gave me an evil smirk, and whispered something with her gang, and suddenly everyone began asking me weird questions. One guy said, 'Hey, new girl, do you always look like this?!' and began laughing! Camilla answered him: 'Yes, she does!' So, everyone began laughing!

Suddenly, the teacher entered the classroom, saving me by making everyone shut up. Then, the teacher asked, 'Who's new?!' And yay, I was the only new student in the class! So, she asked me, 'What's your name?' I replied in a low voice, 'Jasmine.' She said, 'Okay, Jasmine, I'm Mrs. Robinson. Welcome to our school!'

From the very first period, bullying started. Camilla taught the class how to torture me; they broke my heart many times. Three months passed, and bullying became harder; every day bad and rude notes were left at my locker or stuck on my shirt, gums stuck in my hair. At lunch and in all classes, I sat alone, they mocked me every day. Once I brought pizza with me for lunch; one of the girls in Camilla's gang saw me holding it, so she dropped it in the garbage on purpose and claimed that it was an accident! It was horrible!!

Losing Dad affected me really badly, and bullying made it even worse. My grades dropped down until I began to fail after the third month, after I was at the top of my class. My behavior with Mom and my teachers was rebellious and monstrous. Some of my classmates tried to defend me and be my friends, but I blocked the way for them.

Those classmates were only four, two girls and two boys. One day, my classmates began to spread rumors about Adam having a crush on me, but I said nothing. After two weeks of this incident, it was a cold winter day, and snow was falling heavily. I was wearing a beautiful coat that was a gift from Dad before he passed away; I loved and cherished it a lot. Anyway, I went to the bathroom and I took the coat off and hung it on the door. When I was in the bathroom, I heard giggles outside the door, and when I went out, there was no one left, and my coat disappeared too. I cried and then wiped my tears and ran outside to find my coat.

One of the "gang" looked at me with a smirk and said, 'You want your coat? You must search for it.' I looked at him with watering eyes and kept myself from beating him up. Fortunately, my four classmates tried to be my friends, came. Adam, Bella, Joseph, Lavender didn't let me search for it. Actually, instead, Adam gave me his warm coat, having this beautiful odor when it was freezing cold, but he refused to take it back. The angelic squad found my coat buried in snow outside, so they brought it to me, and it took all day to dry, and all this time I was wearing Adam's coat. I thanked Adam and his squad for what they had done for me, and I thanked God that they saved me from Camilla's evil plan.

At the end of the day, I said goodbye to the angelic squad and went home. When I reached home, I did my homework and ate dinner with Mom, then I went to my room, thought about today, and as usual cried myself to sleep.

After a few weeks, the same usual bullying was getting stronger, but I handled it silently until that horrible incident. Camilla brought an edited photo of me saying, 'Daddy save me from high school! I'm so little to enter it!' Bullying reached its maximum with this incident; it crossed all the red lines, and I felt nothing but the need to kill her and the anger against her; it was the button of my explosion!

I said, 'Enough is enough!' I ran and tore all the posters and went straight to Camilla while she was with her gang and trying to flirt with Adam. I shouted at her and pushed her and said loudly, 'Everything but my dad!' Then I punched her and hit her, I tried to hit her more regardless of her blood; I was blindly angry, but my teacher carried me and took me to the principal's room. Her dad asked me angrily, 'Why have you done this?! Are we in jail or in a school?' I replied more angrily, 'Your daughter is driving me crazy! She keeps bullying me constantly, and every time it gets worse! I can't handle this anymore!' He replied, 'You should've told me instead of this nonsense reaction!' When he said 'nonsense,' my rebellious behavior got out of me, and I said, 'Each she will repeat this, I will punch her! She's evil, and you're defending her because you're her dad!' The principal got very angry and shouted at me, 'Detention for two months!' I shouted, 'Fine!'

I returned home after school, and I was so damn angry and depressed, and home alone since Mom was at work. I ran to my room, threw my bag aggressively on the ground, and began to cry loudly and shout, calling Dad's name. I took my phone while I was crying, and swiped through Dad's photos. Suddenly, electricity turned out! I dropped my phone on the ground, and just when I was becoming hopeless of finding it in the dark while tears were dropping down, electricity turned on again! I searched for my phone; something told me to look near my school bag, and when I did, I saw my water bottle on the floor, dropping water on my phone. I dried my phone very well and put it aside. After a while, I tried to turn my phone on, but it gave a strange pink color on the screen. I was amazed, but I pressed on the screen! I don't know how much time had passed, and I woke up in a strange new place! What was it?! Honestly, I had no idea! But I know for sure I was not at my new house!
