Darkness Hurts

Chapter 13

I sat on my bed and fiddled arpund with the promise ring. What would I have done if Lucas actually had proposed to me? Would I say yes or no? I shook my head and slipped into a tank top and short shorts.

"Gen?" I heard a voice say.

I looked to see my mom standing there with a plate of two pop-tarts. We talked for a bit, had breakfast, and then I left for school.

"You again?" I turned to see Alisha, or as I call her, the grinch.

"Hey." I answered casually and I could tell that made her angry.

"I'm taking my boyfriend back." She smirked at me and her fingers held her hips and she tried to anger me.

"He's not yours, you can't just take him back." I tried to stay casual as she glanced at me.

"You sure about that?" She gave me a flick with her hair. "Hmm?"

"Mhm. Of course." I look back at her to see her glaring but smirking evily.

"If he weren't my boyfriend, why would he have made out with me yesterday?" She looks at me evilly and I break inside.

"You're a liar, he wouldn't do that." I quickly turned around but then looked Alisha in the eyes again. "He loves me. He wouldn't love a scrawny, annoying, stuck up jerk like you. Get over it!" I shrieked and she slapped me.

"SHUT UP." She started grabbing me with her share nails and scratching my face, pulling my hair and slapping me. She had done this before I needed to fight back this time.

I stood up and punched her in the nose as it started bleeding. She yowled a blood curdling shriek as she pushed me into the lockers. I felt something sticky and red in my hair and started feeling dizzy. She punched me over and over until I saw her hold up a book as she whacked me in the face with it. I dizzily stood up but tumbled over as I saw her face with a guilty expression.
