I pressed my back up against my closed locker and slid down to the floor. Those cruel words from that note played over and over in my head. Hot liquid ran down my face, ruining the ink on the note. The bell rang obnoxiously as I wiped the tears from my face. I stood up and reached for my locker to find Connor opening the locker beside me.
“Hey, that Aubrey girl’s a bit of a bitch don’t ya think,” His voice told me he hadn’t seen my tears.
“Yeah,” I managed to croak out. Good job Gabby, good job. His smile disappeared.
“What’s wrong?” He looked genuinely concerned. I swallowed the lumped in my throat.
“I-I …,” I hugged Connor and sobbed into his shoulder, the note still in my hand.
“Hey. It’s ok,” He whispered in my ear.
“Better not hug her too tightly otherwise you’ll never come out,” Quinn had made her way over with Kelsie and Aubrey at her sides. I looked away. I didn’t want her to see how vulnerable I was. I crumpled the note up in anger.
“At least I can hug her. If I touch you, you’ll break,” Nice Franta, nice.
“Oh I see you got my note, Gabby,” She said looking at my hand with a sickly sweet smile.
“Piss off!” I screamed.
“Now, now, no need to yell,”
“Gabby what note is she talking about?”
“None of your business, bastard,” She replied. I uncurled the note and handed it to Connor. I looked up at the ceiling to stop the tears from coming.
“You’re such a whore you know Gabby,”
“Hey you’re that girl from math class,” Aubrey piped up. Oh hello! Welcome to present day. Been here one day and already those morons have gotten to her brain. Connor pulled me to the side slightly and said, “Don’t listen to them. They mean nothing. They are the only ones that think this of you. The others just follow along in fear that the next partition they pass around is about them,”
“So you’re a rude whore?” She directed at me.
“Bitch, slut. Now we have finished stating the obvious, I am going to go to my next class,” He shut my locker, grabbed my hand and we headed off towards the front entrance.
“Thank-you,”
“For what?”
“Omg seriously! Sassing those girls back there,”
“Shh! The point of ‘sneaking out’ is you have to be quiet!” he whisper-shouted “Wait… we’re skipping?”
“Do you really want to stay here with them?”
“No,”
“Well why the hell not get away from them?”
