??? Pov
I sat up and rubbed my eyes blinking at the sunlight that slipped past the curtains into my room blinding me slightly. I glanced at my clock that blared blinking red numbers and I glared at it before shutting it off. I yawned stretching and glanced at my phone halfway under my pillow. I blinked sleepily at it and picked it up turning it on. I felt my face heat up slowly then eyes widen at the realization of the time and turned off my phone getting up quickly. I went to go over to my drawer but tripped over the covers. I groaned rolling onto my back panting slightly staring at the ceiling. I sat up and pulled myself up gripping onto my bed.
I walked to my drawer getting my undergarments then to my closet getting clothes. I left my room heading to the bathroom. I showered first then brushed my teeth and dried my hair then my body and got dressed. I made sure not to look at my body much in the mirror. I fixed my hair then left the bathroom heading downstairs smelling a nice aroma that also made me sick. I glanced at my mother and quickly glanced away as she turned to me then handed me a plate. I took it thanking her softly then went to the table eating it slowly taking small bites. Like that would make a difference to your.... I shook my head to get rid of thoughts. I got up from the table handing her my plate which she quickly began to wash it as I picked up my backpack slinging it onto my back.
"See you after school," I said slightly waddling to the door and opened it then stopped to glance at her to catch her waving at me. I waved back then left the house.
No way I could tell mom I was late. I don't think she really noticed at all. Guess I'll have to push through today. I started walking to school which was a bit difficult and I panted slightly as I took huge steps hoping it would get me to school faster. But I did make it there eventually and was panting hard. I walked through hallways getting some glances from people and some even stared. I don't think I liked this kind of attention. I felt a presence and saw a shadow and glanced up to see the Trex group. There stood directly in front of me though was none other than the leader Duke.
"Hey, there fattie," Duke said grinning at me darkly.
"Morning, I have class to attend to," I said about to walk past him but he put his arm in the way and his group started to surround me.
"Wait a bit," he smirked.
"I have class." I glared slightly and pushed his arm out of the way. "You might not care about your education but I do," I said and he glared at me but before he could step any closer to me I used my energy to run to my class.
I was a panting mess and felt sick. I glanced up to see the kids looking at me. I swallowed then looked down at the floor while heading to my seat. The teacher handed me some work as the bell rung. I made it to school and class just in time. I smiled to myself and began to work humming quietly. I finished and glanced around to see I had been the one to finish first as usual even though I was late. I got up and I felt a ton of eyes on me. I handed the teacher the paper and she took it smiling giving me nothing else. That means that gave me time, time to think.... The last thing I wanted to do if it wasn't about school. I headed back to my desk sitting down and I heard whispers.
They were whispering about me. I know people can be paranoid. But I am not...not right now. I know they are whispering about me. There was no whispering until I sat down. I bit my lip then reached down to my pocket for once to check my phone. Nobody ever really texted me I don't know why I was checking...well except that boy's number I found. I smiled slightly then my face burned from memories of last night. I can't believe I let that happen... I shook my head then glances up to see the teacher looking at me. I tilt my head and she waved me over. I walked over to her desk and then like the other teachers she asked me to go see if other students needed or wanted help with their work. This was Algebra 2 so I could understand some people struggling. I walked up to a girl who had glanced at me.
"Do you want help with your work?" I asked softly and she nodded making me smile slightly as I walked over to her.
I started showing her some ways to do a problem. And she chose one but the way she was doing it was turning out wrong because she started to mix two formulas together on solving the problem.
"Um..miss no you shouldn't do that. That's not how you solve it. You have to solve it like this." I said picking up another pencil she had on the desk writing on her paper and she stared at me. "Like that," I said smiling.
"Control freak," she grunted as she erased her work and I blinked confused. "I don't need your help anymore," she said and I nodded gently then I looked around but everyone kept their heads down or eyes on their paper.
I eventually went back to my seat and I so happened to fall asleep. Guess I didn't get as much rest as I needed last night. I got up with the other students packing up my stuff to head to my next class. The same that happened in my first class kind of happened in Science except it was with my partner. Who now won't be sitting next to me anymore. I simply told them what Chemical they were using the teacher said not to Use. I stepped out then blinked as I saw Duke coming my way. I turned away and hurried to my next class hoping he wouldn't catch me but I felt my backpack get tugged back. I turned then felt a fist connect with my face. It stung and my eyes watered as I tasted blood. He just punched my mouth and chin. I stumbled back and this time I didn't feel many eyes on me. I guess no one cared or many were in class by now.
"Wh-What the hell is your problem?" I coughed out holding my mouth as I spoke which probably muffled my words.
"You. You're the problem fat ass." Duke smirked. "That should teach you to keep your mouth shut."
I felt my eyes burn more. I felt I was going to cry as I opened my mouth so I shut it quickly. I turned and made a break to the bathroom. I got into a stall slamming the door shut locking it and slung my backpack to the ground. I slid down curling up on my backpack and laid my back against the stall door.
"I think I might just stay in here for a while...I can always make up the work at home anyways. I have nothing else better to do." I mumbled to myself then heard a toilet flush from a stall making me jump slightly.
I glanced over from the noise of the stall then I started to realize more things about the world around me. Like how the bathroom smelled terrible and not from normal things that people are supposed to do in the bathroom. It smelled like drugs in here... I coughed slightly standing up and peeked.
"Who's in here?!" a voice snapped and I stood still sucking in a breath as I heard a stall door be kicked open.
"Wai-Wait please stop! I'm just in here because I needed alone time!" I screeched hearing another stall door being kicked open then it stopped.
"Alright...but I'm not letting you rat me out, kid. You're staying here until school ends," he said.
"Wha-What but..?" I dropped my head down when he yelled.
"Your gonna stay until the last bell rings!" his voice boomed.
And I did.... I was there until the last bell rung. I missed the rest of my classes including lunch. And when I walked out the stall the guy had already left.
