The G.B.F.

4

The next day is just like I predicted. Everybody knows now and I'm feeling awful. People don't really talk to me except my friends who try to cheer me up but every time they try to some homophobic will yell something about me making me even more quiet.

"Hey, dyke! What are you doing?" I ignore him and went to class. I was stopped by some of those spoiled rich girls and boys.

"Listen here and listen carefully. Go back to where you came from. Nobody wants you here."

"I don't care I'm staying," I say quietly. One of the girls punched me while the others join.

"Hey! Get off her," someone yells as I lay there kinda knocked out. My vision was getting super blurry and I was getting picked up. I was escorted to the nurse to get ice for my pain. I also took a few swigs of water and spitting out the blood from my mouth.

I regained my vision back and I sat back down on the cot. I saw that girl who I helped a couple days ago. Why is Mrs. Baker's granddaughter here? Did she just help me?

"Feeling better,"The nurse says as she came back and smiled to me. I smiled back nodding.

"If it helps I have nothing against you being homosexual and liking girls." I smile a little.

"You should thank your rescuer, Lexie. By the way, she's pretty too," she says making the last part for my ears only. The girl who I know now as Lexie behind her smiles.

"Hey, you alright?"

"So you're Lexie," I say as my head continues to ache a bit.

"Yeah, I did owe you for those chips," she says making me smile.

"Where's my stuff," I ask looking around the room.

"A couple of girls named Nikki and Kathy took them. Are they your friends?" I sighed quite relieved.

"Yeah."

"Well the Nikki girl beat up a couple of them as a couple of dudes held her back. She was so pissed off," she laughs as she told the story.

"Of course," I laughed she would do it too.

"So here you go Lexie here's your pass and Kylie want me to call your parents to pick you up," the nurse asked politely.

"I'm good, thanks Nurse Miller," I say getting off the cot. Lexie takes the pass thanking the nurse as well.

"Thanks for helping me Lexie, you didn't have to though," I say walking down the halls beside her.

"Are you kidding? You are bruised up and your mouth was bleeding," she exclaim stopping to look me in the eyes.

"You could've done what the others did. Leave me there," I said making eye contact with her.

"I couldn't actually let this happened again. Before I came here, my best friend died because of bullying," she says quietly. "Also besides if I left you getting hurt I would regret letting them ruin such an amazing person. Anyways here's my class see you around Kylie," she says opening the door. I walk to my class across from hers. Taking a deep breath I quietly walk in giving Ms. Chase my pass. She accepts it and then throws it away. I took my seat seeing my things there. I laid my head down not interested in learning anymore.

After class I got held back by Ms. Chase. I packed my things as she spoke to me quietly.

"Are you getting bullied Kylie," she straight up questions me.

"Maybe..." I say looking down. They stole a lot of my things. My favorite pen gone, my earphones nada, my notes poof, and my binder paper are ripped.

"Who did this to you," she inquired making me look up. I was still afraid of getting beat up again. "I'll talk to you when you have lunch." I nodded as I went to my next class. After Mrs. Taeta's class I go to lunch. I soon realized that the group of kids who abused me had 1st lunch. So I just went to Ms. Chase's room like I promised.

When I got there I saw our principal and the grade's assistant principal there. I place my things in a desk nearby. I nervously approached them as I took a seat.

"Kylie, don't be nervous okay. We heard about your condition and I received a handful amount of anonymous forms of you being bullied. We would like to help you," Mr. Jackson says.

"I do appreciate that sir," I say politely.

"It's our pleasure and my son has the same problem," Mrs. Neal exclaimed.

"Really," I say I didn't expect that

"Does your parents know Ms. Santiago?" The principal asks making my smile fade shaking my head no.

"Well they got to know sometime sooner or later," Ms. Neal says making me nod. My parents are strict and always want what's best for me.

"Sure thing ma'am," I say as we continue to find a solution to my problem. The rest of the day was a tad better that what happened this morning. The kids who beat me up are being questioned which I can say I can breathe a little.

I find out that Nikki and Kathy not in class. Mr. Carter has a class right now and they don't help him if he does. I decided to ask my cousin what happened to them.

"Well Kai, remember yourself getting beat up and was helped to go to the nurse-"

"Who's the girl anyway," Aden asked.

"I'll explain later. Continue explaining Luke,"

"So...ah yes...Nikki beat up the bullies while Ashton and I tried to pull her back. Then we locked her up in a storage room to calm down. She beat up 5 kids in a few blows," I was shocked she beat all of them up. I'm flattered that she did that for me.
