The cold wind hits my bare skin, causing goosebumps to rise in their wake. And you would think with how miserable I am, nature could at least give me some form of comfort. I push my hands deeper into the pocket of my black ripped jeans that weren't ripped originally a year ago. There was a little mustard stain on it and a hole around my hip region but it was still wearable. As I walk into school, I pull the hood of my oversized sweater over my head. I like the way it made me feel as though I could cover my misery but there's only so far that a person can run from the truth and reality of life. I dragged my Chemistry textbook from my locker, hoping earnestly that Andrea wouldn't notice me.
Andrea Weinberg, The Queen bitch of the school. Perfect hair, perfect looks, perfect face, perfect clothes... The list goes on. Her father, Titus Weinberg, was a well-known lawyer for a lot of celebrities. So to add to her list of perfections, character excluded, she was very rich. Apparently, she derived a lot of joy from torturing unpopulars. The funny fact is that I wasn't even unpopular, I was unknown, unknown as in if you asked "Who is Crystal Anderson?", no one would know or answer. So as for that, I was constantly tormented by her. Everyone thought I was some punching bag she brought from a supermarket. Pathetic, I know.
Immediately, I grabbed the textbook, I was pulled away and kicked in the stomach. I groaned in pain as I fell on the cold tiled floor. This is easy for her to do considering my lack of stamina and my routine of eating less than eight times a week due to certain circumstances.
"Heya wierdo. Being weird as always, I see" The voice of the devil herself rang in my ear. Another funny fact is that Audrea herself doesn't even know me. She just assumed I was the janitor's daughter or something and she calls me wierdo cause I always cover my face with my hoodie. People walked pass and didn't even spare us a glance. I couldn't even blame them. Either they were too scared or they were already used to the scene. Before she could deliver another kick to my bruised and empty stomach, the heavenly scent of a cologne filled the hallway. She immediately leaves my side and runs towards the divine scent. I manage to sit up and peep from under my hoodie. And I behold the one and only Lucas Steel.
Lucas Steel
Aka the sexiest guy to walk the surface of earth. Not to mention a model. Yes, he's a teenage model, and not just a cheap ass model, I'm talking billions and billions of dollars. Compared with Audrea, she could be a street rat, and I'm not exaggerating. It was every girls dream to be with him and be noticed by him. And did I forget to add that he is the heir to Steels Corporation? The most influential company in Florida? Yeah, I probably did.
As he passes me, I pull against my hoodie harder, hiding my face better. The last thing I need is him wondering why a malnourished wierdo had the guts to look at him. Luckily for me, Audrea ran off to throw herself at him, giving enough time to escape. I stand up and clutch my stomach. Another bruise to add to my collection. How delightful.
Note the sarcasm.

Its lunchtime but I don't even bother going to the cafeteria. That will just give Audrea a chance to finish what she started this morning. Instead, I sit by a window on the other side of school and watch as everyone eats. This only makes me hungrier but I do it anyways. After 5 minutes of drooling, I notice Audrea throwing a girl's plate of food on the floor and forcing her to eat it. The sight alone boils my blood. I can take her bullying me but watching her do it to someone else ticks off something in me. Yeah, I know what you're thinking, nobody gives a flying fuck about the way she treats me but yet I'm concerned about the way she treats others. It's just how I am, I can't change it. I wait till she stumbles out of the caf before I execute the crazy idea that creeped into my mind.
Seven interesting minutes later...
I quietly exit the restroom after handling Audrea. I make sure the hallways are empty before I made my clean exit. I have never been more grateful for my school's lack of security cameras. The adrenaline coursing through my body makes me feel so... alive! I should do this more often. I almost can't wait to see the look on Audrea's face when she gets up.
