My alarm blasted, waking me up from my deep sleep. I groaned and sat up.
I hate everything.
I stretched my back out with a satisfying pop, and stretched my arms. Then, I got up to go get ready. I decided to dress lazy today, because I had school, and wanted to hide behind baggy clothes to make up for my super embarrassing day yesterday. I quickly got dressed and put on light makeup.
After I got fully ready, I grabbed my purse and headed to the car for some before-school starbucks. While I waited for the heater to turn on I grabbed my phone.99+ Messages from Freakshow
I laughed out loud in my car. Opening the chat, I scrolled through the messages. Most of them were about how they were on zoom last night, and planning what to do, and posting on tiktok. Last night Claire had asked where I was, resulting in some freaking out because I wasn't answering anything. I scrolled through to see what had happened.
Hamzah: wait guys it's all good she just texted me
Claire: why didn't she check here 😠
Chase: I- 👁👄👁
Haley: chase no

Claire: why didn't u text 😐😐
Chase: yeah 💀💀💀👁👄👁
Me: i've been sooo busy and then i overslept until 1 and missed half my school day yesterday
Haley: omg girl u ok
Chase: LOLI giggled and turned off my phone, pulling out of the driveway.
I finally got to school and was getting an unusual amount of stares. I was confused. Do I have something on my face? I walk-ran to the bathroom to check it out.
Nope, I looked fine. I furrowed my eyebrows, wondering what could I have done that would make people stare. As I was staring into the mirror, I saw a popular girl, Jenny, walk into the bathroom.
"Oh hey Aurora!" She said sweetly.
"Hey?" I said, although it sounded more like a question than a greeting. Why was she talking to me? I've literally never talked to her before. She hates me. I decided not to dwell on it and went to class.
Finally. The bell rung and I was released from the torture of school. Unfortunately, I had to make a pit stop at my Math teachers classroom to apologize for yesterday, which is embarrassing as it is, but I'll do anything if it means good grades. I walked over to her classroom and went in. I apologized and she chatted with me for a bit, asking about colleges I'm interested in and what my hobbies are. Normal boring teacher talk. She finally let me free, and I speed walked over to my car.
"Hey, Aurora!" I heard someone shout. I glanced over to see Jenny and her friends hanging out over by some cars. I tried to pretend not noticing her, but that didnt work.
"Hey Aurora!" Jenny said. She had started walking over to me. Her voice sounded like she was forcing it to be high and sweet. I was disgusted, but decided it was in my best interest to be nice back, or I could consider my social life over.
"Oh hey Jenny!" I said. She smiled and grabbed my arm, pulling me to her friends. They were all smiling, but it didn't seem to be with me, it seemed to be at me, like a mean smile. My heart pounded and my brain spun in confusion.
"So I hear your famous?" A guy, I recognized as a football player named Dean said.
I furrowed my eyebrows and shrugged. I wouldn't consider myself famous. I just had a platform."C'mon," Dean said, getting close to me.
"Can I be in one of your little videos?" He asked in a gruff voice. Jenny and her friends snickered behind him. He reached out to hold my hand.
"Don't touch me," I said defiantly. I was shaking on my legs. Dean looked surprised at my outburst.
"It was just a question Aurora, don't be such a loser," added Jenny. I bit my lip as to stop from crying. Dean grabbed my arm forcefully. I cried out. Jenny and her friends giggled.
"Don't touch me!" I hissed at him. He smiled and I could see his dirty face. I frowned in disgust.
"Get away from me," I said, trying to shake my arm out of his grip. Unfortunately for me, he was possibly the strongest person in our school. His grip was like iron. I could feel my eyes starting to water. I don't do well under pressure.
"Aw is little Aurora crying?" He said, laughing. This was my worst nightmare.
"Don't touch me!" I was able to shout one last time, before his fist connected with my cheek.
