Bullied by Sam Pottorff

Part 5

Lexi's POV

My cheek stung badly, this would certainly be leaving a mark.

I quickly dried my eyes, before hearing the bell ring, it was time to go to Math, and I was already late.

I hated Math, I was horrible at it, but the worst part was Sam was in the same class.

I dreaded the feeling of sitting in front of him, since everytime I got to class all the seats were taken except that one.

I debated on whether going or not, I decided to go so I wouldn't have extra work to deal with.

I adjusted my bag in my shoulder, and made my way to Math.

I walked through the door making my way over to the only empty seat there was.

I awkwardly set my bag on the floor, before taking a seat.

Soon enough the professor began the lesson.

I grew uncomfortable, as I could feel Sam's eyes burning a hole in my back.

I shifted around in my seat, trying my best to get comfortable, but no luck.

"Stop fucking moving I can't see" Sam growled from behind.

I quickly stopped my movements and sat still, not wanting Sam to get angrier.

"That's better" Sam said bitterly, making me shiver at the sound of his voice.

When was I ever going to stop being afraid of him? When would I finally stand up for myself? When was all this going to even happen?

Probably never.

I was just so sick of always feeling insecure about myself, always being picked on, having no friends.

I always dreamt of the day when I would finally stand up to Sam, but of course that wasn't happening anytime soon.

Sam made me feel worthless every single day, and each day I believed the harsh words he crammed into my head.

I was tired of being his bait, I needed to put a stop to this and soon.

I knew this would probably make things worse, but I needed to stop being afraid of him, where would I get in life if all I did was hide?

Yeah no where, I wanted to finally be able to speak without being scared of him doing anything to me.

I just wanted to be brave and speak up, rather than be scared and not let my voice be heard.

Before I knew it the bell was ringing, sending everybody dashing out the door.

I swung my book bag over my shoulder, and headed out into the hallways before I felt two hands on my waist.

I jumped turning around quickly, but relaxing when I saw Colt's green eyes appear before me.

"It's only me" Colt said with a smile, as always exposing his dimples.

"Yeah I can see that" I said, smiling back.

"I just stopped by to say hi before I went to class" he said to me.

"Oh well then hi" I said, as he laughed making me nearly melt right then and there.

"Hi" he said while pulling in for a hug, I gradually hugged him back before we let go.

"I'll catch you soon beautiful" Colt said with a wink, making the butterflies once again explode in my stomach.

I nodded with a smile before he walked away.

I made my way over to my locker opening it and stuffing my books inside.

I was finishing putting my things inside, before my locker door slammed shut.

Sam stood there with an evil grin plastered in his face, making me want to just punch him.

"Hey nerd I have homework for History class and your doing it" Sam said while throwing me some papers.

I looked at him in disbelief.

"Have a problem nerd?" Sam asked harshly.

"Actually I do" I said throwing the papers on the ground, as a sudden amount of courage made it's way into my body.

Sam's grin disappeared as his eyes filled up with anger.

"What?" Sam asked coldly, while clenching his fist.

"I'm tired of you treating me like shit you think your better but your not your human just like me I'm done being afraid of you" I said, as I could feel myself growing confident for once in my life.

"You little" Sam started raising his hand up, I quickly grabbed his hand pushing him away.

"Call me what you desire it does bother me anymore you've spent your days calling me shit, worthless, loser but in reality your the one who is shit, worthless, and a loser from now on I'm not letting you make me feel less than any one else" I said, I could by his face expression that he wasn't happy, but it didn't bother me.

"You think your all tough don't you? Well your not!" Sam spat, but for once his words didn't hurt me.

"I don't give a fuck Sam!" I said loudly before slapping him as hard as I could, I then walked away leaving Sam there with his cheek red and swollen.

I needed to watch my back from now on, Sam wouldn't rest until he got me back for this.

But for once in my life time I was prepared for whatever he had in stored.

I finally felt...brave.
