Chapter-1 That’s my life.
“Nerd.”
“Ugly bitch.”
“Has she ever seen ever seen herself in the mirror?”
“I’m surprised how the mirror hasn’t shattered to pieces!”
This wasn’t something unusual, it happened everyday. Every minute I spent in my school was like hell for me. I could feel my eyes burning, and tears threatening to come out. But I fought them back. No, I wasn’t going to look vulnerable before all these. The best thing to do is to ignore them. They will stop peeving me eventually.
As I walked through the crowded hallways, I kept my head down constantly, wishing no one would notice me. But my luck isn’t going to be so generous.
“She’s so dumb.” I heard some boy call out.
“She’s a prostitute, I know that for sure.” I heard a girl call out from the back.
I stopped abruptly after hearing that. My fists clenched as I gritted my teeth. Sure I was furious, damn furious. Which girl wouldn’t be when there are rumours spread about in the whole school about her being a prostitute? Hell, I haven’t even lost my virginity yet.
“Really? Is that how cheap she is? Doing all this just for money?” Some girl asked.
“Yeah, forget her. We wouldn’t want to spoil our day thinking about that piece of bad luck!” The same girl said.
I was just about to turn around and kick that girl’s ass when I thought; No.I can’t let them get me. I can’t let this happen. This is all they want, they just want to see me troubled.
I ignored them and continued walking towards my locker.
Why would they do this to me? What have I ever even done to them? I have never back-answered any of the cheerleaders, nor tried to snatch their boyfriends away, nor spread wrong rumours about anyone. Then why do they love bullying me so much? What is my fault?
I was in my own set of thoughts when I dashed into someone.
“Sorry.” I murmured apologetically. I looked up to see the worst slut of our school - Skylar Johnson standing before me.
“Watch where you’re going, you ugly bitch.” She sneered. I cringed at her expressions.
“Oh my God! I have to bathe again to remove the filth out of me!” All the barbies behind her laughed, their monkey laughs, pointing their long bitchy nails at me.
“Whats your name again?” she asked with that malicious tone still present in her voice.
“Paige,” I murmured quietly, looking down.
“Such a nice name wasted on garbage!” her expressions showed sheer disgust.
“Anyways,” Skylar looked serious again, “Look here slut,” she gave me her malicious look
“Next time it happens, I’ll lock you in one of the most dirtiest school toilets, understand?” She pointed her long manicured finger at me while I gulped and gave a brief nod.
“Now piss off!” She pushed me roughly which made me fall hard on the floor. I stretched out my arms to protect myself from falling hard on my chest. I got a small cut on my chin, from where blood was oozing out. I heard the bitches laughing behind me while I tried to get up. My body was trembling in pain, but I somehow managed to walk back to my locker. The only reason why I never gave a good comeback when someone bullied me was because I could get into serious trouble for offensive behaviour. All these cheerleaders, players and even the ordinary girls of our schools were millionaires, they can throw some of their fucking money and get out of trouble anytime. The one who falls into grave trouble is me, and I can’t afford to let that happen.
Besides, these people would never leave my side after all this. They will make my life a living ‘hell’ for me, if it is possible to aggravate it anymore.
I opened my locker and a big pile of yellow chits came out, with the worst possible insults written on it.
‘Why don’t you just piss off! You’re a piece of bad luck, you have no right to live!” one of them read.
I crumbled the piece of paper and took a deep breath. I could feel warm tears rolling down my cheeks.
Did I look that bad for these people to treat me like that? Sure, I agree I am a nerd. But I am not the only one. There are so many nerds in our school. Then why am I treated the worst amongst them? Did I do something wrong enough for them to say that I don’t have a right to live?
I am a nerd only because I cannot afford to buy designer clothes like the girls from my class. My mum owns a diner. She works hard everyday, striving to get enough to fulfil requirements of her and me. My dad you ask? Well he was gone long enough, ran away with some slut who cared for money and nothing else. Left my mum behind, crying, wailing. I remember when I was young, every night she used to cry in her bed wishing my dad, whom she loved so dearly, to come back to her. I used to sleep upstairs and used to come running to her along with my small teddy bear and sit beside her bed wiping away her tears.
Then, she used to hug me tight and cry her heart out. This happened almost every night after my father left us. He doesn’t even deserve to be called a father. He was a prick. A prick who came into our life and made our life hell. If I had my father, my mother would never be working so hard. My father used to own a multi-national company; he was a rich businessman. Mum and I would never be in this distress if it were not him. I hate him. ‘Hate’ would be an understatement. I LOATHE HIM!
I always used to wish why I didn’t have those perfect families like everyone on my school has. Those loving moms, caring dads, protective brothers. Why can’t I live a perfect life? I just have a be a nerd because mum cannot afford to send me to such a rich school. She can’t afford to spend money on my school when she has to pay so many loans that my jerk of a father had taken before leaving. If we do not pay them in six months, then our house would be confiscated and we would have no where to live!
The only reason why I am in this school is due to my scholarship. I can’t afford to let my grades deteriorate because of some silly pranks played by my school people. I need to keep up my A’s. Then no matter what I go through, once I am fully educated and start earning, then all problems would be solved. I would no longer have to live this worthless hell called ‘life’. I know everything would be fine in the end. Deep within, I wished this would be true. I wished I too can lead a perfect life. But I was well aware of the fact that it would happen much later, but till then, I have to go through this excruciating pain. I have to bear the hatred these cheerleaders have for me. I have to.

(A/N: So, how was it? I need to improve my writing, I know. But ‘English’ is not my mother tongue, so it would take time for me to write efficiently. Please feel free to give your suggesting, opinions or advice regarding the book. This chapter was just an introduction to her life, I hope you enjoyed it. I just wanted to show how cruel people can be. I am totally against bullying. Is there anyone here who witnessed such kind of bullying? I haven’t yet and I wish I’d never do.
