Not a lot of people notice me, I'm that one girl that sits in the back of the class and never speaks a word all year, but I swear I didn't used to be that way....
It's the first day of eighth grade, I've already been through seventh grade so this should be easy right, my life was, well it was pretty great, I was an honors student who had passed seventh grade with a 4.0 gpa and a 140 IQ, I was smart, But I was also decent looking, I had dark black brown hair which shown with a red tinge in the sun and I had these beautiful dark blue eyes, honestly my best feature I thought. Yet I was almost invisible, sure I had a couple friends but no one really noticed me, until they did...
I thought I was all that and I was so smart and even though I knew about terrible things, I think I was convinced they would never happen to me.
It all started with a boy, it always does doesn't it, we had been talking and we had met at this party, but he wasn't what he said, him and all his friends were at the party waiting for me and at first it seemed like a normal party, until they started pushing me and screaming at me, ripping at my clothes, I remember screaming, just screaming, praying someone would come save me, but they never came. Finally I had no more energy to fight, I fell limp, and I still remember seeing his face just before it all went black.
I woke up in the hospital, I couldn't move, it all came flashing back, I couldn't breathe, what happened, where was I.? I heard a fast beeping then looked over at the heart rate monitor, beeping, mocking my pain.
Then I snapped, I remember ripping the cords out of me, throwing the monitor through the window, and I remember running and being restrained, I remember screaming, then I went black again.
