An Untold Story

The sound of lockers slamming should not be alarming, right? Teens slam them everyday whether it be from anger or carelessness. Is that why no one helps when someone is shoved into the lockers? Because it is a sound so familiar, no one cares? Maybe you do care, yet you are too afraid to get help because that could be you in that place. You happily stand on the sidelines; remaining invisible. For weeks, it goes on. You are walking down the hallway after washing tables in the Art room as you do every Wednesday after school, when (let's call her Shay) Shay is being shoved into the lockers once more. The bullies snicker, obviously enjoying themselves. Not wanting to get involved, you slither out the back door that has become oh-so-familiar and wait on the steps.

With a flick of her beach blonde hair, the bully herself prances through the front door. Luckily, you are just out of sight! You hold your gaze on her, watching to see what her next move is. For some reason, she checks to her left and her right, but she doesn't head to the parking lot. The girl who always wore designer clothes and jewelry, headed to the cheapest apartments in town. You were still watching as she climbed up the fire escape and unlocked the door.
