Murder On The Edge

The Chase

"Ahhh", I scream as I storm out of the classroom for the third time today. This is bullshit I think as I review my thoughts of what had just happened in the class. I am constantly being the one bullied, the one being called names. I didn't even understand what I was doing.  Am I just a constant target? Like seriously. I just want to kill the kid that always acts like this, that always treats me like shit. The kids name was David Sandford. And man he was such a jerk. All I ever was was a piece of garbage to him. That's all I was. That's all I ever was to anyone. Then the stupid teacher comes out into the hall. And of course he says

" Alicia, you better come back into the classroom before you go down to the office." 

"I don't give a shit if I go down to the office. I really, really don't give a shit anymore!" And as I say that I realize that I am screaming and that I need to relax and calm down because I just swore at the freakin teacher and that is something I never do.  Next I am called down to the office and I am sitting down in the principals office. Why does this always happen I think? Why?

When the principal walks in, he has a grumpy look on his face which just makes it even worse. The principal is a bad mood which makes everything even worse, so much worse. Because when the principal is in a bad mood he takes it out on everyone of the students that comes into the office. Luckily all he says to me is he asks me if I need a break and would like to call my mom to go home. He says if she does say yes then I just leave. I am not even going to call my mom, I am just going to leave and go home but not let my mom know. Because if she finds out then I will be grounded for who knows how long.

When I get out of the door of the school, the fresh air is so much better. I take a deep breath and then start the long walk home. The lunch bell rings as I get to the end of the school parking lot. I turn around and realize that David Sandford is coming my way. I start running and have the urge to yell out for help but there is nobody around. I start running even faster just hoping and praying that I will not fall on my face. As I start to slow down as I near my house, he runs even faster, catching up to me as time goes on. Finally I get to my front door but I realize right then and there that I do not have my key out. And that is a problem because David is nearing me by the minute.
