Ms. Popular's Secret

Chapter 4

The next day my body still felt numb but I decided to go to school anyway. The black eye wasn't so bad anymore and it could be covered with makeup. I took a shower and I decided to wear a black mini skirt with a red T shirt and my favorite pair of boots. When I was done I started doing the most important thing. My makeup. I covered all the scratches and bruises on my neck and face and I quietly left my room and tip toed downstairs. I really hope I don't run into Marcus this morning.

"Where are you going you dirty slut!" Marcus shouted. It's so obvious that he's been drinking.

"I'm going to school."

"Stop lying you dirty animal. I know you're going to get laid by some douchebag." I ignored him because I know if I said anything I would be in trouble.

"ANSWER ME!!!" I flinched but I still ignored him. Hopefully he'll just let me go.

"It's so obvious that you're going to screw some guy. Maybe you should stay home and satisfy my needs instead." He smirked.

I Froze. "No No Ple-Please No I'm Sorry No."

"Oh wow look who can speak now. That won't save you." He grabbed my hair and pulled me towards him. I tried to get out of his grip but I couldn't. He was to strong. He placed his lips on my neck and began kissing me. I felt disgusted. He tried to take off my T shirt but I kneed him right where the sun doesn't shine.

He groaned in pain. And I ran. "Come back here bitch." He ran trying to catch me. As soon as I held the door knob he grabbed me by my wrist and pushed his nails into my skin forcefully. Tears began falling from my eyes.

"How dare you disrespect me!"he shouted as he spit in my face. He grabbed me by my hair and pulled me inside and pushed me on the couch and he climbed ontop of me. He began unbuckling his pants. I can't let him rape me again I thought to myself. I need to do something. I spotted a beer bottle on the table. I quickly grabbed it and bashed it on his forehead. He screamed and he got off me trying to stop the bleeding on his forehead. I took this as my opportunity to run to my car. I was going to be late for school but I didn't care. I got into my car and rushed to school

When I got to school it was already 9am. Great I'm 30 minutes late. I decided to just stay in my car for the remaining 30 minutes listening to music and fixing my make up. I know I'm going to be in a lot of trouble when I get home but right now I didn't care. I was away from that monster. The bell rang pulling me out of my thoughts. Sigh fake smile activated. I got out of my car and went to my second period class which was study hall. Dylan was in study hall with me so I decided to go finish the project since I know he probably did most of the work in a day. Such a nerd.

"Hey dork." I said as I took a seat next to him.

"Uhh J-J-I-ILL Hi"

"Where's the essay loser?" He looked like he was terrified of me. That's the reaction I want.

"Here. I-Its almost d-done." I grabbed the essay from Dylan and I began to read it. He picked St. Lucia as the Caribbean country. That's a very nice country. I took out a pen and my phone and I began writing some more facts about St. Lucia. Wow St. Lucia has so many wonderful sites like the pitons and lovely beaches. There's also a wonderful place called the sulphur springs. And it's found in a Volcano wow. Maybe I should escape and move to St. Lucia but then again I have absolutely no money nor a passport to travel. I got so caught up in writing I forgot where I was until I felt someone staring at me.

"What are you looking at dork?" I said to Dylan but he didn't answer. He had a curious yet confused look on his face. I followed his gaze and I realized he was staring at my wrist. I froze. I forgot to cover it up with makeup. Shit. Shit. Shit.

"What hap-happened to your wrist?"he questioned.

"It's none of your damn business. Tell anyone you saw this and I'll make your life a living hell. Got it?" I threatened. I didn't wait for his response I grabbed my book and phone and I stormed out of the class and ran to the bathroom.

I locked the bathroom door and I sat down on the bathroom sink and I  began crying. No one can know my secret especially not a dork like  Dylan. I got down from the sink and I washed my faced. I looked at all the scars, scratches and bruises on my face and I passed my finger over each one of them anger building inside me. "What did I do to deserve this?" that question has been left unanswered for 7 years. I applied makeup to cover up the bruises and scars on my face and I went to my car and I decided to go to the woods. I needed a break from my life. Stacey and Kacey didn't see me at school this morning since I was late so it makes no sense texting them to say I left.
